Flash Flooding & Industrial Runoff Issues in Hendra
Hendra’s mix of homes and light industry creates some tricky drainage problems. Small creeks and storm drains must cope with water from houses and factories, and the nearby Doomben Racecourse floodplain also changes how water moves through the suburb. Put together, these things explain why some streets in Hendra keep having drainage trouble.
Quick Flooding in Low Spots
Some streets in Hendra sit lower than the surrounding area, so they fill up fast during heavy rain. When drains and creeks can’t handle the extra water from both homes and industry, streets and yards can flood within minutes creating unsafe conditions and property damage.
Runoff from Industrial Areas
Water running off industrial sites can contain dirt, oil and other contaminants that don’t usually come from houses. This kind of runoff can clog or damage older pipes and cause unusual drainage problems for homes downstream.
Doomben Racecourse and the Floodplain
The Doomben Racecourse sits on a floodplain that can act like a big bowl during heavy rain. When it fills, it can change the way water drains from nearby streets, sometimes stopping normal flow and causing nearby low-lying areas to pool or back up.
Regular Culvert & Stormwater Pit Maintenance in Hendra
Because Hendra mixes homes and industry, drains can quickly fill with silt, plants and industrial rubbish. Regular maintenance stops blockages and keeps culverts and stormwater pits working when heavy rain hits.
What Our Cleaning Service Covers
- Removing Silt and Sediment: Dirt and sand wash into culverts and pits over time, slowing water flow. We clear this build-up so water can move away properly.
- Clearing Plants and Debris: Leaves, weeds and roots can block drains. We remove problematic vegetation while keeping helpful plants that aid natural drainage.
- Removing Industrial Waste: Oils, gravel and other industrial leftovers can clog or damage pipes. We extract these materials before they cause bigger problems downstream.
CCTV Surveys for Hendra’s Mixed Drainage Networks
Hendra’s mix of homes, factories and transport hubs means drains can get messy fast. Our CCTV surveys let us look inside pipes and culverts to find problems early — from industrial contaminants to blocked residential laterals — without digging up your yard.
What the Survey Checks
- Mixed-use impact: We trace how water and waste from nearby industrial areas may be affecting household drains — spotting oils, sludge or unusual debris that can cause repeated blockages.
- Floodplain inspection: Properties near the Doomben Racecourse floodplain are checked for where floodwater could enter home systems and which pipes are at risk during high water.
- Connection checks: We look at joins between older clay pipes and modern channels to find pinch points or weak spots that cause backups.
Hydro-jetting & Pipe Relining for Damaged Laterals
When silt, roots or industrial grime have damaged your lateral pipes, we use powerful cleaning and permanent repair methods to restore flow and stop repeat problems.
Cleaning and Repair Work
- Industrial contaminant cleaning: High-pressure hydro-jetting and safe cleaning agents remove oil, grease and heavy sediment without harming older pipes.
- Pipe relining: Where pipes are weakened or repeatedly blocked, we install a durable liner inside the existing pipe — a long-term fix that resists silt, roots and contaminants.
Plumbing emergencies can happen any time, so our Hendra team is available 24/7. Call us anytime regardless of the emergency and we’ll dispatch a nearby crew quickly, technicians arrive ready with the tools and common parts to diagnose and often fix issues on the spot. We provide safe temporary repairs to secure your home or business, outline any recommended permanent work, and give clear, upfront pricing before we start.

- Keep drains clear: Remove leaves, silt and garden debris from pits and gutters before the wet season.
