A real person answers, day or night
The lagoon decides more than the rain does
A storm's severity only tells half the story here, what the lagoon entrance is doing at the time tells the rest. Call (02) 9072 0597 as soon as your yard starts holding water it should be shedding.
Why one storm affects streets so differently
- The entrance has its own trigger point Curl Curl Lagoon only opens once water inside it reaches a set level, so a system arriving while it's still shut can leave catchment ground holding water long after the rain itself has stopped.
- Greendale Creek adds its own volume on top Runoff from further inland reaches the lagoon well before the lagoon has any chance to release it, stacking extra pressure onto nearby stormwater pits.
- The clock matters as much as the millimetres A pit that's fine in most storms can still be overwhelmed purely by how long the water hangs around this particular time.
Stormwater services we provide
Each service below is chosen with the lagoon's own timing in mind, not just the size of the storm:
Silted pit clears
A yard grate loaded with leaf litter and beach-blown grit stops working long before anyone notices, so pulling it apart and clearing it properly gives the pit its full capacity back well ahead of the next real test.
Capacity upgrades
An added carport roof or a paved extension quietly increases what a block sheds into pipework laid for a much smaller footprint decades earlier, and upsizing that pit and pipe combination closes the gap the renovation opened up.
Soakwell installs
On blocks where a direct connection isn't practical or council conditions call for on-site absorption instead, a trench built to suit sand rather than clay lets water disperse locally rather than joining everything else fighting for the same outlet.
Surface regrading
Courtyards and driveways sloping the wrong way send water toward the house instead of away from it, and correcting that fall at the surface, with proper channel drains where needed, solves plenty of problems before any pipe gets involved.
Two very different flood risks, one suburb
- Carrington Parade drains toward open water fast Beachfront blocks generally clear quickly, though a low grate can still struggle for a short spell during the heaviest part of a burst.
- The lagoon flats hold on to water longer Ground near Adam Street and the reserve edge feels a shut entrance well before higher streets toward Harbord Road notice anything unusual at all.
- John Fisher Park helps, it doesn't solve it The open sportsfields soak up a share of what falls nearby, but a property backing onto the reserve still needs its own stormwater properly sized.
Stormwater problems that keep coming back
Two patterns explain most of the calls we get once the rain sets in.
The same corner every time
A yard that pools in roughly the same spot storm after storm almost always has an undersized pit or line sitting downstream of it, and putting the right capacity in that one spot usually ends a pattern years of mowing around it never did.
A low point takes the lot
Blocks with an obvious dip channel every drop of runoff into that single area, and putting proper capture there rather than hoping the ground copes on its own stops one corner becoming the whole yard's problem.
Ignoring stormwater costs more than fixing it
Water always ends up at the weakest point on a property, and it's rarely somewhere convenient:
- A wet lawn today can mean a wet subfloor later Repeated pooling close to the house edges nearer with every storm until it eventually finds its way past an external wall.
- Foundations and paving take the strain quietly Ground that stays saturated around footings or a retaining wall moves gradually, and a job that would have been routine plumbing grows into concrete and brickwork the longer it waits.
- Buyers notice a yard that copes Proof the property already handles a genuine downpour heads off the flooding conversation before it ever becomes a sticking point in negotiations.
How it works
How we fix stormwater, our process
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0597 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Follow the water's path
Your plumber traces every pit and pipe feeding the failing point back to where it starts, from roofline to yard, then resizes or clears whatever the catchment genuinely needs before signing off on the finished result.
- 04
Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Curl Curl
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Curl Curl works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
A fix that ignores how slowly this catchment actually clears quietly guarantees a repeat visit the next time water builds up behind the lagoon.
Where we work
Areas we service
The same lagoon-aware approach covers Freshwater, Dee Why, Brookvale, North Curl Curl and Queenscliff too, with every pit and pipe sized for whichever catchment a given street actually sits in, never a single layout copied everywhere.
Good questions, straight answers
Stormwater questions Curl Curl locals ask
What's the cost structure for a stormwater job?
Clearing one silted pit is a much smaller job than upgrading a whole undersized line, and your plumber confirms exactly which one applies before writing a single figure on the quote.
Why would a closed lagoon entrance make my yard flood worse?
Once water reaches a set level the entrance opens mechanically, not before, so catchment streets nearby can end up holding water in the ground well after a storm has actually passed through.
My yard's already flooding right now, how fast can someone get here?
That call skips straight past the routine booking list, and whoever picks up walks you through what matters most in the meantime while a plumber is already on the way over.
Does sandy soil near the beach genuinely change the design?
It does, sand lets water through quickly until it's saturated, at which point it holds almost none, so pits and trenches close to the lagoon and beach get built around that switch.
Are you licensed to carry out stormwater alterations?
Yes, licence 275278C with full insurance covers everyone on the job, and where council documentation genuinely applies to the work, we prepare and lodge it as a normal part of the visit.
If flooding returns after a stormwater repair, is that on you?
It is, provided the fault traces back to our own workmanship, in which case the correction happens under our Lifetime Labour Warranty and nothing extra ever lands on your invoice for it.
