Common Issues With Pipes

There are plenty of issues that can occur in stormwater and sewer systems, particularly in older buildings, including:

Blockages - Debris can build-up in pipes and cause blockages. This can lead to water and effluent backing up into your home or business.

Broken pipes - Pipes often break due to age, corrosion, ground movement or tree roots. This can cause serious flooding.

Joint damage - Over time, the joints in stormwater and sewer pipes weaken and can eventually fail. This can cause leaks and flooding.

Surging - During heavy rains, the volume of water flowing through stormwater and sewer pipes can increase. This can cause weak pipes to break, collapse or become blocked.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the difference between stormwater and sewer systems?

    Stormwater systems carry rainwater away from your property, while sewer systems remove wastewater from your home. They are separate systems, but both play an important role in preventing flooding and maintaining sanitation. Problems in either system can lead to serious issues if not addressed.

  • What causes damage to stormwater or sewer pipes?

    Common causes include ageing pipes, corrosion, ground movement, heavy rainfall and tree root intrusion. In older properties, pipes may weaken over time, making them more prone to cracking or collapsing. External pressure from soil or traffic can also contribute to damage.

  • What are the signs of a sewer or stormwater problem?

    Signs can include slow drainage, gurgling noises, unpleasant smells, pooling water outside or frequent blockages. In severe cases, wastewater may back up into the property. These issues should be addressed quickly to avoid further damage and health risks.
