BLOCKED DRAINS
NORTH MELBOURNE

Blocked storm water drains can be problematic to a property and become apparent in heavy rain falls. The typical property will have guttering, down pipes, or storm water pits that collect and discharge your property’s storm water through storm water drainage to your council point of discharge. These drains can be blocked by environmental debris like leaves, dirt, pebbles, sand, sticks, garden covering materials like bark and mulch and the old culprit tree roots. Water will pick up whatever is in its path and carry it down the grates and pipes. An accumulation of this matter will cause a blockage. The problem with storm water drains is water generally runs down them during a rain event and if no one checks the drains after rain, the environmental matter can consolidate, causing a blockage. These blockages cause flooding and pooling to a property which at it’s worse can leave water damage to structures. If you are experiencing any of these issues we can provide options to clear your blocked storm water pipes using our blocked drain equipment and provide report with repair options if required. We can also perform annual preventive maintenance to your storm water drains by flushing out debris prior, or during heavy rain fall months.
