Blocked stormwater drains can cause flooding, pooling water, and damage to your property, but understanding the causes and using correct clearing techniques or a professional plumber can protect your property

Blocked stormwater drains and flooding can be a result of many issues as detailed below.

• A build up of sediment and decaying leaf litter.
• The root entry as a result of a broken or cracked stormwater drain.
• Undersized stormwater drainage that is unable to cope with the storm events experienced in southeast QLD.

Preventive maintenance tasks.

• Ensure that all surface drainage is visibly clear of any sediment or decaying leaf litter.
• Engage a licensed plumber to carry out a CCTV camera inspection of the existing in ground stormwater drainage to locate any blockages or defects before it’s too late.
• Should any blockages be found following a CCTV drain camera inspection, a licensed plumber can clear these obstructions using a high-pressure water Jetter to ensure your system is functioning to its full capacity.
