We are on the road 24/7, all year round, which includes weekends and public holidays. If you have a stormwater drain blockage, we’ll aim to be at your door within the hour*.

Are You Experiencing a Blocked Stormwater Drain?

Are you experiencing sluggish drainage from your stormwater system lately? Perhaps it’s even reached the point of overflowing? It sounds like a blocked stormwater drain may be the culprit, and that can escalate into a significant issue.

At Upside Down Plumbing, we specialise in promptly resolving blocked drain issues. If you’re in need of a skilled stormwater plumber, your search ends here.

Maintaining freely flowing stormwater drains is crucial. These drains accumulate various debris like dirt, garden waste, leaves, and foliage over time, leading to blockages that can become stubbornly entrenched. Moreover, these blockages leave your property vulnerable to flooding and substantial damage in case of further complications.

Our team of fully trained and certified professionals at Upside Down Plumbing possesses extensive expertise in dealing with blocked stormwater drains. We excel in identifying the location and cause of blockages and employing advanced techniques such as CCTV camera technology and high-powered hydro jet drain cleaning to efficiently clean and clear the obstruction.

Whether it’s invasive tree roots, accumulated leaves or stubborn sludge, our stormwater drain plumbers have encountered it all. Count on us to swiftly resolve the issue and restore smooth flow to your stormwater system.

What are the Main Causes of Clogged Stormwater Drains?

Your property is equipped with two primary drainage systems: stormwater and sewer pipes. The stormwater drain system comprises underground pipework and downpipes that connect to your gutters, along with additional drainage channels near driveways and pathways.

These channels collect rainwater, ensuring proper irrigation for your home. Without an efficient stormwater system, your home could suffer from foundational damage as excess water saturates the soil during winter.

But what leads to blocked stormwater drains? Unlike blockages in sewer pipes, stormwater drain blockages can stem from various sources:

  • Tree roots
  • Garden waste like leaves, dirt, and debris
  • Damaged or collapsed pipes
  • Foreign objects such as toys or rubbish

While stormwater pipes are designed to handle substantial water flow, they struggle with debris accumulation. Hence, it’s crucial to maintain a tidy garden, especially because heavy rainfall can wash leaves, clippings, and other debris into your drains.

Among these causes, invasive tree roots pose the most significant threat, accounting for up to 95% of blockages. These unseen adversaries thrive on the moisture and nutrients present within your drains.

Expertise in Clearing Stormwater Drains

At Upside Down Plumbing, our contractors hold full licences and engage in ongoing training to stay abreast of the latest practices and technologies. We prioritise the use of cutting-edge cleaning technology to address your stormwater drain issues effectively.

One of our go-to methods involves employing a hydro jet drain cleaning machine, which uses a high-pressure system delivering water at 5000 psi (pounds per square inch) through the blocked drain via a hose and nozzle.

This powerful hydro jet can effortlessly cut through even the most stubborn tree roots and sludge. Alternatively, for less severe blockages, we may opt for an electric drain snake to clear your stormwater drain.

To accurately pinpoint the blockage and assess its composition, we frequently use a CCTV drain camera to inspect your drain thoroughly. This allows us to determine the best course of action for resolving the issue efficiently.
