Our team of experienced and licensed plumbers is here to clear blockages quickly, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to your home or business.

Why Is a Blocked Stormwater Drain a Serious Problem?

Stormwater drains are designed to direct rainwater away from your property, protecting it from flooding and water damage. When these drains become blocked, water has nowhere to go, leading to a range of problems such as:

• Flooding: Blockages in your stormwater drains can result in flooding around your property, potentially causing damage to foundations, driveways, and landscaping.
• Property Damage: Excess water can seep into the walls and foundations, leading to structural issues, mold growth, and damage to building materials.
• Health Hazards: Stagnant water from blocked drains can attract pests and promote the growth of harmful bacteria, creating an unhealthy environment around your home or business.

Addressing stormwater blockages as soon as possible is crucial to prevent further damage and costly repairs.

Common Causes of Blocked Stormwater Drains

Blocked stormwater drains are typically caused by a buildup of debris over time, which restricts the flow of water. Some of the most common causes include:

• Leaves and Garden Debris: Fallen leaves, dirt, twigs, and other debris can accumulate in gutters and downpipes, eventually making their way into stormwater drains and causing blockages.
• Tree Roots: Tree roots can infiltrate underground stormwater pipes, causing cracks and blockages as they grow and expand inside the drain.
• Silt and Sediment Build-up: Dirt and silt can be washed into stormwater drains, especially during periods of heavy rain, leading to clogs.
• Broken or Collapsed Pipes: Over time, pipes may crack or collapse due to age, ground movement, or external pressure, restricting water flow and causing blockages.

At Marco Plumbing Services, we offer a comprehensive blocked drain cleaning service, using cutting-edge technology to identify the exact cause of the blockage and clear it quickly and efficiently.

Signs Your Stormwater Drain is Blocked

Often, a blocked stormwater drain won’t show obvious signs until it’s too late. However, there are a few indicators that you can watch out for:

• Water pooling in your yard or driveway: If water isn’t draining properly, it may start to accumulate in low-lying areas around your property.
• Overflowing gutters or downpipes: Blockages in the stormwater system can cause water to back up into your gutters and downpipes, leading to overflow.
• Unpleasant odors: Stagnant water in blocked drains can emit foul smells, especially after heavy rain.
• Slow drainage during rain: If stormwater is taking longer than usual to drain away, it could be a sign of a blockage further down the system.
• Gurgling noises: You may hear unusual gurgling sounds coming from drains and pipes as water struggles to pass through.

If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait—contact Marco Plumbing Services to resolve the issue before it escalates.
