Why Regular Stormwater Cleaning Should Be a Priority

Stormwater drains are your property’s first line of defence against flooding, engineered to efficiently direct rainwater away and keep your spaces dry. When these drains become clogged with leaves, dirt, or invasive tree roots, the consequences are not just inconvenient—they’re potentially severe. A blocked stormwater drain doesn’t merely slow water flow; it creates a serious risk of flooding, erosion, and costly damage to your home or business.
Regular stormwater drain cleaning is not optional—it’s essential. By consistently clearing these drains and removing blockages, you protect your property from expensive repairs and ensure your drainage system functions as it should, keeping water where it belongs—safely away from your property.

Common Causes of Blocked Stormwater Drains

Grasping the root causes of blocked stormwater drains is crucial for taking proactive steps to prevent future problems. It may also point to a deeper underlying problem that may require a larger investment to fix. Some of the most prevalent culprits include:

  • Tree Roots: Tree roots are a leading cause of stormwater blockages. They can invade your stormwater pipes through small cracks and grow inside, eventually causing a complete blockage. Regular maintenance, including root removal, is essential to prevent this issue.
  • Debris and Dirt: Leaves, dirt, and other debris can accumulate in your stormwater drains, leading to blockages that prevent the proper flow of water. Regular cleaning is necessary to keep these drains clear and functioning correctly.
  • Construction Materials: During construction or renovation projects, materials such as concrete, gravel, or sand can enter your stormwater system and cause blockages. It’s important to ensure that your drains are protected during such activities.
  • Improper Installation: Stormwater drains that have been improperly installed or designed may be more prone to blockages. Poor grading, incorrect pipe sizes, or inadequate drainage systems can lead to frequent clogs.

Our Stormwater Cleaning Process

At SEQ Blocked Drains, we follow a thorough process to ensure your stormwater drains are cleaned and functioning properly:

CCTV Inspection

The first step in our stormwater cleaning process is to conduct a CCTV inspection. This allows us to identify the exact location and nature of the blockage. Our high-resolution cameras can navigate through your stormwater pipes, providing a clear view of any obstructions, such as debris or tree roots.

Drain Jetting

Once the blockage has been identified, we use high-pressure Drain Jetting to clear it. This method involves blasting water at high pressure through the pipes, effectively removing debris, dirt, and even stubborn tree roots. Drain Jetting is highly effective for clearing stormwater drains and ensuring proper water flow.

Final Inspection

After the stormwater drain cleaning is complete, we conduct a final CCTV inspection to ensure the blockage has been fully cleared. This step also allows us to identify any potential issues that may require further attention, such as damaged pipes or ongoing root intrusion.

The Importance of Regular Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your stormwater drainage system is essential to prevent blockages and ensure proper water flow. At SEQ Blocked Drains, we offer comprehensive stormwater cleaning services to keep your system in top condition. By scheduling regular inspections and cleaning, you can prevent issues before they become major problems, saving you time, money, and stress in the long run.

How to Clear Tree Roots from Stormwater Pipes

Tree roots are one of the most challenging causes of stormwater blockages, but with the right approach, they can be effectively removed. At SEQ Blocked Drains, we use several methods to clear tree roots from stormwater pipes and prevent them from coming back:

  • Drain Jetting: High-pressure Drain Jetting is one of the most effective methods for clearing tree roots from stormwater pipes. The powerful stream of water can cut through roots and remove them from the pipes, restoring proper water flow.
  • Root Cutting Tools: In some cases, specialised root cutting tools may be used to physically cut and remove roots from the pipes. This method is often combined with Drain Jetting for optimal results.
  • Pipe Relining: To prevent tree roots from returning after removal, we recommend pipe relining. This trenchless method involves lining the interior of your pipes with a durable resin that creates a seamless, root-resistant barrier. By sealing off any entry points, pipe relining provides a long-term solution that prevents roots from re-entering the pipes and causing future blockages.
  • Digging and Repairing: For cases where the damage is extensive, digging and repairing the affected area may be necessary. This method allows us to remove the roots and repair the damaged section of the pipe, ensuring that your drainage system is fully restored.

FAQs about Stormwater Cleaning

Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam

The frequency of stormwater cleaning depends on several factors, including the surrounding environment, the age of the system, and whether you’ve experienced previous blockages. In general, it’s recommended to have your stormwater drains cleaned at least once a year. However, if you have a lot of trees near your property or if your drains are prone to blockages, more frequent cleaning may be necessary.

Common signs of a blocked stormwater drain include water pooling around your property, slow-draining water, gurgling sounds from drains, and water overflowing from stormwater pits. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to contact a professional stormwater cleaning service as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

Regular stormwater cleaning, including the removal of tree roots, can help prevent future blockages. However, if tree roots are a recurring problem, additional measures may be necessary. To ensure tree roots don’t come back, we often recommend pipe relining or drain patching.
