Understanding Stormwater Drainage
Stormwater management involves the collection, control, and diversion of rainwater runoff. Stormwater drains are an essential part of any property’s drainage system, as they are responsible for carrying excess rainwater away from the property and preventing flooding to the property. Stormwater drainage systems typically include components like gutters, downpipes, and storm water pipes that empty into the councils storm water system.
Storm Water Drain Installation
A plumber’s role in installing stormwater drains involves ensuring that the drainage system is correctly installed to prevent any future problems.
They will assess the property’s needs and design a drainage system that is suitable for the specific location. This includes selecting the right materials, such as pipes and grates, and ensuring that the system is installed to meet local council regulations and standards.
Storm water drains are part of the initial build of your home and these are installed at the slab stage. Your sewerage drainage is also installed at the same time.
An important thing to note is that your Storm Water drains and your sewerage drains are COMPLETELY separate and they should not come into contact with each other.
Sewerage water goes to waste water treatment and storm water goes into the stormwater system that empties into a nearby creeks, rivers, streams and oceans.

What Is Considered For Stormwater Drains
The topography of the land your home is situated on, this outlines the inclines and run off areas and gives an idea of the property’s natural drainage.
Your storm water drainage consists of the following components:
- Gutters
- Down Pipes
- Strip Drains
- French drains
- Swales
- Rain gardens
- Rainwater tanks
- Stormwater pit
- Other considerations are minimising large paved areas or using permeable paving styles, as well as smart landscape design and plant selection.
Blocked Storm Water Drains
When it comes to unblocking stormwater drains, a plumber’s expertise is equally important. Blocked drains can cause significant problems, such as water damage and unpleasant odours. A plumber will use specialised equipment, such as high-pressure water jets and drain cameras, to locate and remove the blockage.
Identifying Blockage Causes
Common causes of blockages include tree roots, debris buildup, and foreign objects. By identifying the cause of the blockage, you can determine the most effective method for unblocking the drain.
Unblocking The Drain
By using a camera to isolate where it is blocked and to see what is blocking it, a plumber can then physically remove the blockage. Sometimes it is easy to see what it is and pull it out, other times hydro-jetting is required to blast away debris.
At times pipe relining or an excavation is required to repair or replace damaged pipes.
Preventative Maintenance Strategies
To avoid blockages in the future, it is important to implement preventative maintenance strategies. This can include regular cleaning and maintenance of the stormwater drain system, as well as ensuring that only appropriate materials are disposed of in the drain.
By following these steps and working with a qualified plumber, you can effectively unblock stormwater drains and prevent future blockages.
