What Is Pit & Gully Cleaning?

Gully pits (also called stormwater pits, drainage pits or catch basins) are the entry points into a site’s underground drainage network, designed to capture runoff, sediment, leaves and debris before water enters the stormwater system. Pit cleaning is the removal of accumulated silt, sludge, sand, leaf litter and other build-up from inside these pits, along with the connecting drainage lines where needed, so water can flow freely and the system works the way it was designed to.

Why Regular Pit Cleaning Matters

Left unmaintained, gully pits silt up and stop performing:

Flood prevention — blocked pits are one of the leading causes of site and car park flooding during heavy rain
Infrastructure protection — sustained water pooling damages pavement, foundations and surrounding structures
Safety — standing water on active sites creates slip, trip and vehicle hazards
Environmental protection — sediment and contaminants trapped in pits are prevented from washing into the broader stormwater system
Regulatory compliance — councils and site principals increasingly require documented, scheduled pit maintenance as part of stormwater management plans

Our Pit Cleaning Process

Site assessment — we review pit locations, access, traffic conditions and the level of build-up before work begins
Vacuum & hydro-vac extraction — industrial vacuum trucks and hydro-vac units remove sludge, silt, sand and debris directly from each pit
High-pressure jetting — used where lines are also blocked or partially collapsed, clearing the connecting drainage as well as the pit itself
Safe site management — our crews are trained to work around live traffic, plant and machinery on active construction, industrial and mine sites
Reporting — before/after documentation available for your site records or stormwater management plan
Scheduled maintenance — one-off clean-outs or a recurring schedule (quarterly, twice-yearly, or to suit your site’s conditions)

Equipment Available for Pit Cleaning

Our fleet is built for repeat-pass, high-volume extraction — the same equipment servicing Perth car parks and construction sites mobilises to regional and mine-site pits across WA.

Industries We Service

Pit and gully build-up affects almost every type of site with hardstand, roads or roofed area draining to stormwater. We provide pit cleaning for:

Construction & Civil — active build sites and civil works where site traffic and earthworks accelerate silt build-up
Commercial & Retail — shopping centre and retail car parks, where leaf litter and general debris are the main culprits
Industrial & Warehousing — distribution centres, warehouses and manufacturing sites with hardstand and loading areas
Mining & Resources — mine sites and processing facilities across the Pilbara and regional WA, where stormwater compliance is closely regulated
Ports, Marine & Logistics — port precincts and freight/logistics hubs with high-volume drainage demands
Local Government & Councils — public roads, car parks and civic infrastructure requiring scheduled maintenance programs
Aviation — airport and airside drainage, serviced alongside our airport sweeping capability
Property & Facilities Management — ongoing pit maintenance programs across multi-site commercial and industrial property portfolios

FAQs

Pit & Gully Cleaning FAQs

How often should stormwater pits be cleaned?

Most sites benefit from a clean-out at least twice a year — commonly before and after the wet season — though high-traffic construction sites, car parks with heavy leaf litter, or mine sites may need more frequent servicing. Call 08 6365 3031 and we'll recommend a schedule based on a site assessment.

Do you service industrial and mining sites, not just construction?

Yes — we clean pits and gullies for construction sites, car parks, commercial and industrial facilities, ports and mining operations across Perth and regional WA, including the Pilbara.

What happens if a pit is already blocked and flooding?

Call 08 6365 3031 — our crews are available for emergency response and can mobilise vacuum and hydro-vac equipment to clear a blocked pit and reduce flood risk fast.

Can pit cleaning be bundled with other services?

Yes — pit cleaning is often scheduled alongside street sweeping, water carting and dust suppression, or handled as part of an ongoing Project Servicing Consultancy plan for construction sites.

Do you provide documentation for compliance purposes?

Yes — before/after records of pit condition and clearing work are available on request, useful for your site's stormwater management plan or compliance reporting.
