Stormwater Drainage Adjustment In Loftus, NSW

CCTV Drain Inspection Upgrades for a Sloped Property In Loftus, NSW

The team at Bayside Plumbing recently did a job in Loftus, NSW. The homeowner called us after noticing two major signs that their home's drainage system wasn't coping effectively:

• Water pooling on the floor whenever they used the washing machine
• Large amounts of rainwater were collecting in the garage during storms and heavy rainfall

Since this Loftus homes its on a slope, surface runoff naturally travels towards the lowest section of the house- in this case, the garage. When drainage systems can't move water fast enough, excess runoff builds up around garages, strip drains and other outside drains.

To how exactly what was happening underground, our team of plumbers carried out a full CCTV drain inspection on the existing strip drain and stormwater line. This allowed the team to confirm the exact depth of the pipe, assess the direction of the flow and identify any repairs that would be needed before excavation began.

Why Does Water Pool Around Garages and Strip Drains

What many homeowners are surprised to learn is that stormwater issues are often caused by several smaller drainage limitations working together rather than one single blockage.

To permanently improve this home's drainage systems, our team carried out extensive work, including:

• Concrete cutting behind the garage wall and surrounding slab areas
• Excavation to expose the existing stormwater drainage system
• Installation of agline drainage connected into the strip drain network
• Waterproofing of the affected wall section with three protective coats
• Installation of blue metal drainage to improve groundwater dispersion
• New strip drain installation across the entire walkway
• New stormwater access point installation for future maintenance and diagnostics
• Reinstatement of backfill and preparation for re-concreting

This type of stormwater drainage works by intercepting surface runoff and subsurface moisture before hydrostatic pressure builds up against the structure.
