Water backing up from stormwater pits or drains during rain.
Blocked stormwater drains Northern Adelaide
Stormwater drains have one job: move rainwater away from your home. When a line starts backing up or stops clearing properly, the problem tends to make itself known at exactly the wrong time.
Clear stormwater blockages before they cause bigger problems
Stormwater drains have one job: move rainwater away from your home. When a line starts backing up or stops clearing properly, the problem tends to make itself known at exactly the wrong time.
Northern Stormwater Solutions clears blocked residential stormwater drains across Northern Adelaide. If the cause or location is not obvious, we can also use CCTV drain inspection and pipe locating to get a better look at what is happening underground.
Signs your stormwater drain may be blocked
Blocked stormwater does not always mean a drain has stopped completely. Changes in how quickly water clears, where it collects and what happens during heavier rain can all point to a restriction in the line.
Slow-emptying pits
Pits or drains taking much longer than usual to empty.
Lingering surface water
Surface water lingering in areas that used to drain quickly.
Overflows in heavy rain
A drain that copes with light rain but overflows when the weather gets heavier.
Repeat pooling
The same section repeatedly pooling or overflowing after rain.
What blocks a stormwater drain?
Stormwater lines can collect material over time, and tree roots can also become a problem underground. The important part is working out what is restricting the line so the blockage can be dealt with properly.
A one-off build-up may simply need to be cleared. If the same section keeps causing trouble, there may be more going on inside the pipe and a CCTV inspection can help us see it.
Clearing blocked stormwater drains
We clear blocked stormwater drains with the aim of restoring a clear path through the line. Once the obstruction is removed, we can check how the drain is flowing and let you know if there is anything else that needs attention.
If built-up material is restricting the pipe, stormwater drain cleaning can clear it out and help get the system flowing properly again.
Tree roots in stormwater drains
Tree roots can create stubborn blockages and may return if the underlying problem has not been dealt with. If roots are involved, we can clear the obstruction and inspect the line where needed to understand what is happening around that section of pipe.
If the pipe itself is damaged, the next step may be a stormwater repair rather than repeated clearing.
