Poor stormwater drainage can lead to flooding, pooling water, and long-term damage to your home’s foundations. At Champion Plumbing & Drains, we offer professional stormwater drainage services for homes throughout Sydney’s Inner West, helping to manage rainwater safely and effectively.

Our licensed plumbers design, install, clear, and repair stormwater systems that collect surface rainwater from roofs, driveways, and yards, then direct it away from your property to prevent water damage.

What is Stormwater Drainage?

Stormwater drainage is the system that removes rainwater from your property. It collects water from gutters, downpipes, surface grates, and paved areas, then carries it through underground pipes to council stormwater mains or approved discharge points.

A properly designed stormwater system prevents rainwater from pooling around your home, flooding your yard, or saturating soil near foundations. Without adequate stormwater drainage, even moderate rainfall can cause damage over time.

Common Signs You Need Stormwater Drainage Work

You may need stormwater drainage repairs or upgrades if you notice:

Water pooling in your yard

Flooding near your home’s foundations

Overflowing stormwater pits or grates

Water collecting around downpipes

Persistent damp areas outdoors

Cracked paving or concrete caused by water movement

These signs often point to blocked stormwater drains, damaged pipes, or drainage systems that are no longer suitable for the property.

Our Stormwater Drainage Solutions

We provide complete stormwater drainage solutions tailored to your property and site conditions.

Stormwater Drain Installation

We install new stormwater drainage systems to capture roof and surface runoff and direct it safely away from your home. Each system is designed based on roof area, land slope, and rainfall exposure.

Blocked Stormwater Drain Clearing

Leaves, silt, dirt, and debris commonly cause blocked stormwater drains. We clear blockages using professional equipment to restore proper water flow and reduce the risk of flooding during heavy rain.

Stormwater Pit Installation

Stormwater pits are installed in low points where surface water naturally collects. Correct pit placement helps intercept water flow and channel it into underground drainage pipes.

Yard and Surface Drainage Solutions

We design drainage solutions for yards, driveways, and paved areas where surface water accumulates. This includes surface grates and channel drains to manage runoff effectively.

Downpipe Connection and Relocation

Poorly positioned or disconnected downpipes can cause water to pool around your home. We connect or relocate downpipes, so roof water flows directly into your stormwater system.

Stormwater Drain Repairs

We repair cracked pipes, collapsed drains, damaged pits, and failed connections that cause leaks or blockages. Our repairs restore flow and help prevent surface flooding onsite.

Why Proper Stormwater Drainage Matters

When rainwater is not directed away from your home, it can saturate the soil around the foundations and cause movement over time. This may lead to cracking in walls, uneven floors, and damage to external paving.

Many Inner West homes have older stormwater systems that were not designed for modern roof sizes or current rainfall patterns. Upgrading or repairing your stormwater drainage helps protect your property and reduce the risk of costly repairs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS

How often should stormwater drains be cleaned?

Stormwater drains should generally be inspected and cleaned at least once per year. Properties with heavy leaf fall or surrounding trees may require more frequent maintenance.

How do I know if my stormwater drain is blocked?

Common signs include water overflowing from pits during rain, pooling water around downpipes or surface grates, and soggy areas in the yard after rainfall.

What’s the difference between stormwater and sewer drains?

Stormwater drains carry rainwater away from your property. Sewer drains carry wastewater from toilets, sinks, and showers to the sewer system. The two systems should never be connected.

How long does stormwater drainage work take?

Timeframes vary depending on the scope of work. Simple repairs or clearing can often be completed quickly, while larger installations or system upgrades may take longer.
