Stormwater Drainage Specialists Trusted Throughout Pacific Pines

Is Stormwater Pooling Around Your Pacific Pines Property?

Heavy Gold Coast downpours put enormous pressure on stormwater systems, and it doesn't take much for a blocked stormwater drain, collapsed pipe or undersized pit to turn a normal storm into a flooded yard or garage. Leaves, silt and root ingress are common culprits behind stormwater blockages, along with charged lines that surge and blow fittings once rainfall exceeds what an old or poorly graded pipe can carry. Poor site drainage, wet yard drainage and a pooling driveway are also common complaints we hear from Pacific Pines homeowners after a storm rolls through.

Left unresolved, these issues can undermine driveways, saturate retaining walls and direct water against your home's footings rather than away from them. Some properties also have an accidental stormwater-to-sewer cross connection, which can cause overflows, unpleasant odours near a stormwater smell drain and council compliance notices if it isn't corrected.

If your stormwater pit bubbles, gurgles or overflows after rain, or your yard stays wet for days once the storm has passed, it's worth having a licensed plumber check the system before the next wet season arrives.
