What are the signs of a blocked stormwater drain?

If you notice water overflowing out of your gutters or water pooling around your home, more likely than not, you have a blocked stormwater drain. Each blockage could cause its own unique problems, but if you suspect that you have a blocked stormwater drain, there are a few common signs to look out for.

Signs you may have a blockage include:

Stormwater pipes and roof gutters overflow when it rains

Water pooling at stormwater exit points

Noticeable dampness in ground areas

Pipes, pits or inspection openings are full and holding water

Ensuring your stormwater drains are clear and free from blockages is an integral part of safeguarding your home from flooding and significant property damage when things go wrong.

If you notice any of the above symptoms, it could indicate that something is blocking your pipes, and it might be time to get some expert help before it develops into a serious problem. At Pipe Doctor, we are only ever a phone call away. No matter how big or small, we have the equipment and experience to get you back up and running as quickly as possible.

What causes blocked stormwater drains?

There are several possible causes for blocked stormwater drains, but the most common cause of blockages in stormwater systems are from organic matter like leaves, dirt, pebbles, sand, sticks, bark or mulch. Water will pick up whatever is in its path and carry it down the grates and pipes, allowing whatever it’s collected to accumulate in your drainage and cause a blockage.

As well as being inconvenient, blocked stormwater drains can lead to any number of more significant problems, and it is essential to get an expert to inspect your drains as quickly as possible.

But don’t fret at Pipe Doctor; our expert technicians use the most advanced equipment, but our service and techniques maximise our results on even the toughest blockages.

How to prevent blocked stormwater drains?

The best way to prevent a blocked stormwater drain is to keep gardens well maintained and remove any leaf litter or debris from gutters and grates.

If the blockage is persistent, re-occurring, or you think it could be more, give an expert a call to take a look.

FAQ - Blocked stormwater drains

How do you clear a blocked stormwater drain?

The best way to clear a blocked stormwater drain is by using a high-pressure water jetter. A high-pressure water jetter can remove any blockage without causing any damage to your pipes.

Who is responsible for a blocked stormwater drain?

As a general rule, the drainage outside your property boundary is the responsibility of your local council or water authority, and any drainage within the property boundary is your responsibility. If you are having an issue with your stormwater drains and guttering flooding on your property, the best place to start is to call the Pipe Doctor in the first instance, and we will be able to pinpoint your problem and who is responsible.

What is high-pressure drain cleaning?

High-pressure drain cleaning uses specialised nozzles and attachments that emit an incredibly high-powered stream of water to clean the pipe. Unlike other drain cleaning techniques that may only punch a hole through the blockage rather than clearing it, hydro jet drain cleaning is like washing the inside of your drains and can break apart stubborn blockages at the source.
