Hear From Our Clients
Common Causes of Blocked Stormwater Drains
Brisbane’s climate and environment mean stormwater drains are prone to blockages, especially in older systems. The most common causes include:
- Tree root intrusion into stormwater lines
- Leaves, silt, and debris washed into drains during storms
- Collapsed or cracked pipes due to ground movement
- Poor system design or inadequate capacity
- Blocked downpipe-to-stormwater connections
Our inspections not only identify the blockage but also uncover underlying issues that may cause repeat problems if left untreated.
