Cleaning Blocked Stormwater Drains
Stormwater drains safeguard your home or business from the perils of heavy rainfall. They are one of those critical elements of your home that you rarely have to worry about. When a storm drain does become blocked, problems can happen fast. At S&J Plumbing and Gasfitting, we prioritise the health and efficiency of your stormwater drainage system with expert and rapid blocked drain cleaning in Brisbane - making sure it’s up to the task, especially when the clouds roll in.
The Importance of Your Storm Drain System
A storm water drainage system provides a way for rainwater to be efficiently directed away from your property. The goal is simple – prevent pooling water and potential flooding. A well-maintained drain system channels water from roofs, gutters, and garden areas, ensuring your property remains protected from water even during relentless rainstorms.
If any of your stormwater drains become obstructed, your property becomes susceptible to flooding, even during mild showers. Common culprits behind blocked stormwater drains in Brisbane include accumulated garden debris, sediment buildup, fallen leaves, intrusive tree roots and collapsed pipework.
What makes up a storm water drain system?
Stormwater pits: These grated inlets typically found on street corners or low points on properties collect storm runoff.
Downpipes: These direct water from the roof and gutters into the drainage system.
Underground piping: This directs water away from properties, often discharging it into local waterways or retention areas.what we do

PREVENTION
Preventing Blocked Stormwater Drains
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Keeping your storm water drains clear isn’t difficult – but it does take a bit of effort and a vigilant eye.
Routine Drain Inspections: Regular assessments are crucial. By using advanced CCTV drain cameras, our technicians can pinpoint trouble areas, allowing for swift action before problems arise. This proactive approach not only fixes emerging issues but also spares you time and expenses in the long run.
Periodic Drain Cleaning: Depending on your property's foliage and garden layout, we recommend occasional drain cleaning in Brisbane. Our team uses techniques like high-pressure water jetting (when necessary), ensuring debris is flushed out without using harsh chemicals. This also safeguards the integrity of your drains.
Gutter Maintenance: A primary source of debris in storm water drains is blocked gutters. Regular gutter cleaning can prevent this. While gutter guards are a helpful addition, they too need periodic maintenance to remain effective.

A storm water drain is designed to channel rainwater from urban areas to prevent flooding. This system often directs water to local waterways or absorption areas. On the other hand, regular sewers transport domestic wastewater (from toilets, sinks, washing machines, etc.) to treatment plants.
While you can undertake minor cleaning tasks like removing visible debris from the surface of a drain grate, we recommend calling a professional plumber for deeper blockages or comprehensive maintenance. As residential plumbing professionals, we have the right tools and knowledge to address the issue without causing further damage or violating local regulations.
We generally recommend against them. While they might provide a temporary fix, they can be harsh on your plumbing and the environment. Natural solutions or high-pressure water jetting are more effective and environmentally friendly.
Signs include pooling water in your garden or yard, unusual sounds from the drains, and water backing up during rains.
