Big rain can really mess with your drainage. In Greystanes, a lot of the older homes and sloped blocks end up with water pooling in spots it shouldn't. Like the garage, or right near the house. Flooding isn't just annoying. It can wreck floors, damage walls, and leave a big clean-up to deal with.
You need someone local who gets it. A stormwater drainage plumber who knows how Greystanes soil drains, and what Blacktown Council actually looks for.
Sometimes it’s just a clogged grate. Other times, it’s water coming up through the backyard before another storm rolls through. Either way, we sort it fast. We’re just around the corner and usually reach Greystanes homes in under an hour. Our work follows AS/NZS 3500 and meets every local drainage compliance rule.
All our plumbers are licensed, insured, and on call. You get same-day help, no call-out fees, and real advice from someone who actually knows what they’re looking at.

We provide solutions tailored to Greystanes homes, units, and commercial properties. Whether you're upgrading an old pipe, redesigning your drainage system, or installing a brand-new OSD tank, we’ve got you covered.
On-site detention (OSD) tanks help reduce stormwater runoff and protect the council's infrastructure. If your new build or renovation requires one, we can design, install, and maintain your OSD system to meet all Blacktown City Council requirements.
We also offer scheduled OSD maintenance to ensure long-term performance. Overflowing or non-compliant tanks can cause stormwater drains to back up or fail under pressure, so keeping them clean and functional is critical.
Cracked or sagging pipes lead to blocked stormwater issues and water pooling in your yard. Greystanes homes often have clay pipework that’s now brittle or tree root damaged.
We handle pipe repairs, patching, or full replacement. Using high-pressure jetting and CCTV inspections, we locate broken sections, clear obstructions, and install new pipework that can withstand years of use. Every drainage plumber on our team is trained in root removal and water flow restoration.
From driveways to retaining walls, we design drainage systems that work with your land’s slope, runoff needs, and site plans. Our drainage system designs are built to manage water safely and prevent erosion or basement leaks.
We use trench drains, strip grates, subsoil drainage and stormwater pits where required, ensuring correct fall, capacity, and pipe size from the start.
When drains overflow and your backyard turns into a swamp, call Rhino for emergency stormwater unblocking. Greystanes properties with overgrown gardens, clay soil, or dense tree coverage often suffer from blocked drains after storms.
Our trucks carry hydro-jetting gear, root-cutting heads, and inspection cameras. We get your storm water drain cleared on the first visit and provide CCTV confirmation to show it's fixed.
Whether you're applying for building approvals or modifying an existing drainage system, our team knows what the council requires. We'll prepare and lodge plans, consult on Section 68 permits, and handle inspections with certifiers.
Drainage compliance is non-negotiable—and mistakes can delay or void approvals. Let our experienced stormwater plumbers take the guesswork out.
It pays to use local Greystanes drainage plumbers who understand the unique conditions and council codes. We don't outsource and we don't upsell. We simply fix your problem with the right solution the first time.
Our plumbers live and work nearby. We've repaired drains behind Greystanes High, installed strip drainage near Bathurst Street, and replaced pipes near Hyland Road Reserve. That local knowledge means faster assessments and fewer surprises underground.
We're NSW licensed plumbers and members of the Master Plumbers Association. Every job is covered by full public liability and workers comp insurance. We always use SafeWork method statements.
We use jetting machines, drain cameras, excavation vacs, water testing kits, and pipe locators. This lets us diagnose blocked stormwater problems without digging blindly. We give you before-and-after footage so you can see the problem's resolved.
Got a storm rolling in and a blocked drain to match? Our emergency plumbers are on standby 24 hours a day. We prioritise safety and fast water diversion especially for homes with previous flooding.
Greystanes has its share of drainage issues. If your stormwater drains are slow, noisy, or overflowing, one of these common problems might be to blame:
Leaves, dirt, bark and kids' toys all find their way into storm grates. When they settle, they block water flow and create backups. This is one of the most frequent calls we get in the area.
Lush backyards and old trees come with hidden risks. Roots seek out moisture and invade stormwater drains and joints, eventually cracking pipes or fully blocking the flow.
Greystanes homes often have terracotta or concrete pipes that are now decades old. Soil movement or vehicle traffic can cause them to break, collapse or separate at joints which blocks water and creates sinkholes.
Some homes in Greystanes were built without sufficient drainage system planning. We often see backyards with poor fall, undersized pipework, or missing subsoil drains. In heavy rain, these flood quickly.
We follow a proven process to deliver reliable drainage outcomes.
We visit your site, assess the drainage problem, and run a camera down the stormwater pipe. We'll test fall and flow using water and share all findings with you.
We plan the right drainage services for your land size, soil type, and rainfall data. This includes stormwater pits, OSD tanks, grated drains and pipe upgrades.
Need a permit? We draw plans, submit them to council, and liaise with engineers. We'll let you know exactly what is and isn't needed for your project.
We excavate, install and test all drainage systems to code. Our team uses laser levels, pressure tests, and CCTV to ensure proper function before backfilling.
Want to prevent future blockages? We offer maintenance packages with regular camera inspections, pressure cleaning and debris clearing. Especially important before storm season hits Greystanes.
Drainage regulations in Blacktown City Council are strict for good reason. Poorly designed systems overload the public network, increase erosion, and risk property damage.
Here's what applies in Greystanes:
We help you navigate every permit, design and inspection so nothing holds your project up.
What is an OSD tank and do I need one in Greystanes?
Yes, if you're building new or adding floor space. An OSD tank slows how fast water leaves your site, helping protect Greystanes' public drainage system.
What are the council requirements for stormwater drainage in Blacktown?
Drainage compliance means using licensed plumbers, submitting plans for approval, and ensuring systems meet capacity and discharge rules. We handle it all.
How often should I maintain my stormwater drainage system?
At least once a year. Properties with trees, poor fall, or past flooding may need servicing every 3–6 months.
What should I do if my stormwater drain is blocked?
Call an emergency plumber. We’ll jet it, camera it, and confirm it’s clear. Same day if needed. Avoid DIY attempts if water is backing up.
Do I need a permit for stormwater drainage work in Greystanes?
Yes, for most new installations or large changes. We prepare and lodge all council paperwork.
How long does stormwater drainage installation take?
Minor works: 1–2 days. Full installs: 1–2 weeks depending on access and approvals.
What causes stormwater drainage problems?
In Greystanes, it's usually tree roots, cracked pipes, bad backyard fall, or debris buildup.

This company Rhino Plumbing & Drainage has been recommended to me by my friend and I am very happy with their service. They are quick and accurate and if there are any small details to be perfected they attend immediately and do it. The work in place was to upgrade taps in the existing cold and ho water services and required a lot of skills as dealing with old services is usually very difficult.
Ronnie arrived on time and provided a good service. Explained the problem and what could be a solution in the longer run
Simple and Fuss Free. Quick and easy to deal with Job completed as promised.
