  2. The recent rain that Sydney has experienced has come with many ups and downs. Many areas needed rain while sadly some others have had towns completely washed away with the torrent of water that came through without much time to prepare. We are aware that torrential downpours can come with destructive consequences. However, what we don’t always think of when it comes to flood-prone areas is the other side: our water resources that supply water to our cities, towns and suburbs can often be left dirty and contaminated. In recent times Sydney has had a massive amount of rainwater that has blocked stormwater drains. You must thoroughly inspect gutters, and stormwater drains for damage and if you find any, call your neighbourhood APT plumber in Sydney for assistance.

  3. When your stormwater is not working to capacity or is broken or blocked by silt and debris, you may suffer structural damage to your home. This is because large volumes of may fall quickly can cause significant property damage. Below is a guide you may use to make sure your property is always safe and protected with your help. Regular inspections can be done by yourself or a plumbing expert like APT Plumbing who will ensure you reduce the risk of incidents occurring.

  4. 4 Tips To Ensure Your Stormwater System Works To Its Best Capacity Tip 1. Clean Your Gutters Water backs up and can’t flow freely when leaves and other debris builds up and blocks your gutter and pipelines. This causes them to be unable to flow effectively. This will cause your gutters to overflow and put extra weight on your gutter line. This is when your Stormwater system is in trouble. If this blocks, it can cause damage to your roof and building structure from the weight of the water pooled in the gutter and roofline, so gutters must be cleaned regularly. It is also necessary to check whether channel grates are clear from leaves and debris. If you find it hard to accomplish this and need help, you can call APT Plumbing. They will ensure that your stormwater is running smoothly by cleaning the gutters and roofs of any debris.

  5. Tip 2. Monitor Your Water Flow During a storm when it is safe to venture outside, you should check to see if your stormwater is flowing. The stormwater should flow to the gutter and not towards your property at any time. You should note how the water flows at your home when storms hit so as any unusual flow. You can identify and call APT Plumbing to come, inspect and identify what could be causing the stormwater to change the way it flows. A CCTV camera inspection can assist to identify the nature and location of any obstructions like tree roots that you may have in your piping. If your pipes are blocked, you may find the stormwater will back up and cause damage to your property.

  6. Tip 3. Add A Pit And Pump If the subsoil of your property has been affected by regular storms that have caused flooding, or you have noticed water pooling or flooding ground floors in the home then you may need to install a pit pump with the assistance of APT Plumbing. Installing a pit pump will create a lower level for water to flow. You may require a CCTV Camera Inspection to help identify any issues surrounding your home.

  7. Tip 4. Pit maintenance Once you have a pit or multiple pits it is essential to make sure they are cleaned out and maintained immediately after a storm has passed. Storm pits should be examined and cleaned frequently before and after a storm as they may quickly collect silt and debris. Failure to do so can cause blockages in your stormwater system. With your help, we can make sure your stormwater system is evolving to its full potential! APT Plumbing is a blocked drain service provider experienced in sorting out blocked pits.
