Stormwater drainage lines should protect people and property from water damage and flooding
This reason alone is important enough to have any blocked stormwater drains repaired by qualified plumbers as soon as possible. Besides an emergency plumbing situation, there are other signs that you have a blocked stormwater drain including gutters overflowing, hearing gurgling noises in drains, mould or dampness around the house, water pooling or flooding as well as plumbing pits and channel drains not draining. These are the warning signs which will show themselves around the house and garden area. We encourage homeowners to be observant and always check the house stormwater drainage system from time to time especially when it is raining as any issues can easily be seen when it rains. Our licenced plumbers can be then called before the issue becomes a major plumbing emergency.
Repairing Blocked Stormwater Systems
Blocked stormwater systems can be repaired in a variety of ways. The method plumbers use for repair is dependent on the cause of the blockage. For example, an obstruction (such as a tennis ball getting stuck in a drain) can often be solved by plumbers deploying a high-pressure water jet and CCTV drain camera. Conversely, a collapsed pipe caused by large tree root intrusion may need to be replaced. We have all the equipment and experience necessary to repair any blocked stormwater drain. We gained our experience dealing with leaky toilets, hot water systems, emergency plumbing and a multitude of plumbing issues for the past 30 years — requiring us to invest in the latest plumbing technology to serve our valued customers 24/7/365 days a year.
Blocked stormwater systems can be repaired in several ways. Our methods are dependent on the cause of the blockage and what is required for its repair. An example would be a blockage like a dog toy or a can which is caught in a drain which will block the flow of the line and cause the water to flow out of the drain and flood the surrounding area. In this case, we would use a high-pressure water jet and CCTV drain camera to clear the line and view the blockage. Or a collapsed pipe that has been squashed by a large tree root intrusion and may require replacement of the line section. Sweeney’s Plumbing uses all the most up to date equipment and has the experience necessary to repair any blocked stormwater drain.

Environmentally Friendly and Cost-Effective Solutions
Sweeney’s Plumbing Services also offers environmentally friendly, cost-saving advantages for your stormwater line system. We have ensured many of our clients have enjoyed various benefits of re-using and harvesting free rainwater by the installation of a rain tank and garden pump system. Most systems are simple in their use – Rainwater runs through the gutter and then down the downpipes and into the rain tank. Water is then used to flush toilets or water the garden. Simple clever recycling is cheap (saves on water rates) for the homeowner and good for the environment or your garden in particular.
