When water has nowhere to go during rain, a blocked, broken or collapsed stormwater drain is often the reason. At a McKinnon home with a flooding problem, Drain Solutions cleared the stormwater line with a jet and then sent a CCTV camera through it to see what was wrong.
In brief
- Where: a home in McKinnon
- Problem: flooding
- Method: the stormwater drain was jetted, then run with a CCTV camera
- Result: the homeowner received an assessment of what was wrong
Why jet first and film second?
Jetting clears the line so the camera can travel through it. The footage then shows the blockage or fault and where it sits, and the homeowner was given an assessment of what was wrong. See high pressure water jetting and CCTV inspections.
A stormwater drain carries rain runoff from roofs and yards away from the property. When it is blocked, broken or collapsed, that water backs up and can pool around the house. A camera inspection is the way to tell which of these problems is behind it without digging up the yard.
What should a homeowner do when the yard floods?
Note where the water collects and when, then call 0413 522 220. A jet and camera visit shows whether the stormwater drain is blocked or damaged.
