Professional Drain Service for Blocked Stormwater Drains

Stormwater is rainwater that picks up soil, debris and pollutants as it runs off roads, roofs and other surfaces. This untreated water flows through stormwater drains into our lakes, rivers, and oceans. Blocked stormwater drains are common, especially during storms.

Stormwater drainage systems channel rainwater from roofs and downpipes into discharge drains that lead to water bodies. Proper maintenance is crucial in preventing soil erosion and water pollution.

To manage stormwater runoff, property owners should maintain their drains, downpipes, gutters, rubble pits, and discharge points regularly. This upkeep prevents blockages and ensures effective stormwater management.

Household drains from sinks, toilets, and showers connect to the sewage system, carrying wastewater to a treatment plant. In contrast, stormwater drains channel rainwater directly to nearby waterways without any treatment.
