Plumber in Hornsby.
Where the upper North Shore meets bushland — a town centre with unit development, ringed by large blocks backing onto reserve.
What we see in Hornsby.
Blocks backing onto the Hornsby and Berowra reserves carry heavy leaf load in gutters and stormwater, plus root pressure from protected native trees that can't simply be removed.
The upper North Shore's rock and sharp gullies make excavation slow and drainage runs steep. Trenchless repair is usually the sensible route rather than the fallback.
Unit blocks around the station bring common-property risers, pump wells and backflow compliance — a different job to the surrounding detached housing.

Asked in Hornsby.
Gutter guard helps and is worth doing, but the part people skip is the underground stormwater line. Leaf matter that gets past the gutter settles in the pipe, and on the steep runs here it packs rather than flushing through. Having the line jetted every few years clears that before it becomes a blockage, and a camera check at the same time tells you whether roots have found the joints — this close to reserve, they usually have.
