Is Your Storm Drain Blocked?

If your storm drain is blocked, the water has nowhere to go. It pools around your property, and over time it can cause structural damage and erosion, so a blocked storm drain is not something to leave.

Common Blockages

If you’ve noticed that your storm water drain is blocked, it’s likely because of one of the following common reasons.

The usual causes are mud, soil and organic matter such as leaves and sticks. Soil can clog the pipe when it washes in during heavy rain.

Debris builds up over time, and a drain that coped last year can fail in the next big downpour.

Unblocking stormwater drains

While unblocking a stormwater drain yourself is possible, it can be tricky, and if you’re not careful you can end up doing more damage.

The best way to look after your drains is to prevent the buildup of organic matter by clearing your gutters and installing gutter guards.

It is a good idea to call a plumber when you notice blocked stormwater drains. Your plumber will evaluate the blockage and identify the best way to clear up the problem.
