20 Years Managing Stormwater Drainage Across Alderley

Signs Your Alderley Property Has a Stormwater Drainage Problem

Stormwater drainage problems rarely announce themselves clearly until it's too late. You might notice water pooling on the driveway after a shower, a musty smell drifting up from a stormwater pit, or a gurgling sound from grated drains near the house. On older Alderley blocks, tree roots often find their way into ageing stormwater pipes, causing partial blockages that worsen every time it rains.

Left unresolved, a blocked or damaged stormwater line can undermine retaining walls, saturate garden beds and push water back toward your home's foundations. In more severe cases, a collapsed stormwater pipe or an illegal stormwater-to-sewer connection can lead to flooding through the garage, yard erosion, or costly council compliance issues. Catching these signs early, and having a licensed stormwater plumber inspect the system, saves you from far more disruptive repairs down the track.

If your yard stays wet for days after rain, or a stormwater pit seems to bubble and overflow during a downpour, it's worth arranging a proper CCTV drain inspection before the problem grows underground where you can't see it.
