What is a Stormwater Drain & why are they critical?

Stormwater drains are designed to manage rainwater runoff from roofs, driveways, and other surfaces, directing excess water away from properties to prevent flooding and erosion. Without a well-maintained drainage system, heavy rainfall can lead to water damage, structural issues, and even health hazards from stagnant water.

Types of Stormwater Drains

There are several types of stormwater drainage systems, each serving a specific purpose:

Surface Drains

Collect water from paved areas, such as driveways and footpaths.

Subsurface Drains

Installed underground to redirect water away from foundations and prevent soil erosion.

Gutters and Downpipes

Channel rainwater from rooftops into stormwater systems.

Pit and Pipe Systems

Network of pipes and collection pits designed for large-scale water redirection.

Retention and Detention Systems

Temporarily store excess rainwater to control water flow and prevent overwhelming local drainage networks.

Common Signs of Stormwater Drainage Problems

Water pooling in your yard or drivewa

Indicates blocked or ineffective drainage.

Overflowing gutters or downpipes

Can lead to water damage and foundation issues.

Soggy patches near foundations

A sign of underground drainage failure.

Flooding after heavy rain

If you spot any of these signs, it could be the sign of stormwater failure. Contact us today to arrange an inspection.

Whose Responsibility Is It?

For Homeowners & Property Owners

As a homeowner or property manager, you are responsible for maintaining any stormwater infrastructure within your property boundary. This includes:
  • Gutters and downpipes – Ensuring they are free from leaves and debris.
  • Yard drainage systems – Keeping trenches, pits, and drains clear to prevent blockages.
  • Stormwater pipes on private land – Repairing or replacing damaged pipes within your property.
  • Driveway and garden drains – Regularly checking for clogs and buildup.

These Stormwater Drains Are Your Local Council’s Problem

Local councils are responsible for maintaining public stormwater infrastructure, including:
  • Street gutters and stormwater pits – Ensuring runoff is properly managed in public spaces.
  • Council-maintained drainage easements – Handling major stormwater flow routes.
  • Public stormwater pipes – Managing large drainage networks that service multiple properties.

If you experience flooding due to a blocked council drain, you may need to report it to your local authority. But you don't have to worry about paying for the work.
