All You Need To Know

  • What are the most common types of stormwater drainage systems?

    There are several types of stormwater drainage systems used in residential properties:


    • Surface drainage: Includes grates, channels and swales that collect and direct water on the surface.
    • Subsurface drainage: Involves underground pipes, ag drains (also known as French drains) and soak wells to manage water below ground level.
    • Stormwater pits: Act as collection points for runoff before directing water into underground drainage pipes.
    • Downpipe connections: Direct water from roof gutters into stormwater drains or tanks.

    A properly functioning stormwater system often combines multiple elements to handle varying water loads and property layouts. The best system depends on the slope, soil type and structure of the land.

  • How often should stormwater drains be cleaned or maintained?

    Stormwater drainage systems should be inspected and cleaned at least once a year, ideally before the wet season or after a major storm. Properties surrounded by trees may require more frequent cleaning to remove leaf litter, branches and debris that can clog grates and pipes. During maintenance, check for signs of blockages, damaged pits, cracked pipes or pooling water near downpipes and drains. Blocked or damaged stormwater systems can cause serious damage over time, so it’s best to stay on top of routine care. A high-pressure jetter or CCTV inspection may be needed if blockages are suspected in underground sections.

  • Can I connect stormwater to a soakwell or rainwater tank?

    Yes, stormwater runoff can be directed into soakwells or rainwater tanks, depending on your property layout and local regulations. Soakwells are underground systems designed to collect and disperse rainwater into surrounding soil, helping to reduce surface flooding and support water absorption. They’re ideal in areas without access to a stormwater main. Rainwater tanks allow you to collect water from your roof via downpipes, which can then be used for garden irrigation, flushing toilets or washing clothes. When installed correctly, both solutions can reduce pressure on your drainage system and provide environmental and cost-saving benefits. However, overflow systems must be considered carefully to prevent pooling or damage during heavy rain.
