Frequently Asked Questions — Stormwater Drainage
Why does my garden flood after rain?
Garden flooding after rain is caused by inadequate stormwater drainage — the ground can't absorb water quickly enough and surface drainage isn't moving it away fast enough. We assess the problem and install the right solution.
What is a French drain and when do I need one?
A French drain is a gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that collects and redirects subsurface water away from your property. Ideal for waterlogged gardens, basement seepage, and areas with high groundwater.
Do I need council approval for stormwater work?
For major stormwater installations and connections to municipal stormwater systems, approval may be required from your local municipality. We handle compliance documentation and assist with the approval process.
Can you fix a blocked stormwater drain?
Yes — we clear blocked stormwater drains, gullies, and channels using high-pressure jetting and manual clearing. Stormwater drain clearing is typically completed within a few hours.
How do I know if stormwater is causing subsidence?
Signs include cracking walls, uneven floors, and visible soil erosion around the foundation. Poor stormwater management can erode soil and undermine foundations — call us immediately for a drain survey.
