Stormwater & Sewer Pipe Repairs

Practical solutions for stormwater drainage & sewer pipe issues

Stormwater drains and sewer pipes usually work fine during times of normal demand in and around your home. However this is not always the case and all wastewater systems have a limited capacity, and often don't cope if there has been heavy rain and flooding. This is especially the case if there is damage to a drain or pipe in the wastewater system. If there has been flooding in your area or some kind of land movement, whether it is natural or manmade, it's important for you to keep an eye out for stormwater and sewer problems and get repairs carried out before water damage becomes an issue.

Common causes of stormwater and sewage drain problems

Issues that commonly contribute to the overload of stormwater drains and sewers include: Cracked pipes, tree roots, broken pipes; boundary traps damaged or cracked; illegal system connections; poorly fitted blocked inspection holes, and property location (in a low lying areas). Any one or a combination of these causes, along with increased rainfall or extreme weather and the wastewater system can reach and exceed capacity, resulting in stormwaterand sewage flooding homes and properties.

Symptoms of a sewer or stormwater issue

There are a number of major symptoms to look out for with stormwater drain and sewer pipes problems:

• Water accumulation in new places - either inside the home or around your property. Check low lying areas around the property as this will be one of the first places affected. Look under your house (if elevated), as this can be one of the most serious places to be damaged, and one of the hardest to spot.
• Unusual and bad smells - This could indicate a problem with the sewer pipes or stagnant stormwater. Even if you cannot see it, this wastewater may be leaking underground or somewhere hidden. You may even find an area of land that is soggy with overflow.
• Changing water levels in toilets - Be mindful of any changes in the water level in your toilet as they may be indicative of bigger problems within the sewer. If the toilet is slow to drain and occassionally backs up, this can also signal problems within the sewer pipes.
• Unusual sounds from underground plumbing - You also need to be alert for strange sounds coming from the drain pipes underground. Often when stormwater drains and sewers experience problems or partial blockages they will make unusual noises, like sudden rushing water and gurgling. If you hear unusual noises then it is likely there is a problem.
