Frequently Asked Questions
Flood testing is a service that involves inspecting your property for potential flood risks. It’s important because unchecked flooding can cause severe structural damage to your home or business, leading to expensive repairs. Early detection of flood risks allows for proactive measures to prevent water damage, ensuring the long-term safety of your property.
Yes, a blocked stormwater drain can cause flooding. When a drain gets blocked by debris or roots, the water can’t flow properly, and it starts to build up around your property. This can lead to water entering your home or garden, potentially causing damage. It’s important to hire a professional plumber fix these problems quickly to avoid expensive repairs later.
If your stormwater drain is overflowing, you should call a plumber as soon as possible. Overflowing drains usually mean there’s a blockage or some other problem that needs urgent attention. The longer you wait, the more damage it can cause to your property. At Mint Plumbing & Relining we offer fast emergency plumbing services to clear blockages and stop any further damage.
Yes, tree roots can block stormwater drains. As trees grow, their roots can break into pipes and cause them to clog, crack, or even collapse. If you suspect that tree roots are blocking your drains, it’s important to have a plumber inspect and clear the pipes before it causes bigger problems like flooding.
To clear blocked stormwater drains, plumbers usually use high-pressure water jets to blast away debris, roots, and any buildup inside the pipes. If the blockage is harder to reach, plumbers might use cameras to inspect the pipes and find the exact location of the issue. Once located, they can clear the blockage and get your drains flowing freely again.
It’s recommended to have your stormwater drains inspected once a year. Regular inspections help catch problems early, like small blockages or damage that could turn into bigger issues, like a burst pipe, down the road. Scheduling an inspection along with a cleaning service can keep your drains working well and avoid costly repairs.
To prevent blockages, it’s important to maintain your stormwater drains regularly. Clean leaves and debris out of your gutters and downpipes, and have your drains inspected and cleaned at least once a year. Keeping trees away from your pipes will also help prevent roots from causing problems. Regular maintenance from a local plumber will help keep your drains clear and working properly.
Stormwater drains are usually separate from sewer lines. Stormwater drains are designed to carry rainwater away from your property, while sewer lines carry wastewater from your home. In some older homes, the two systems might be connected, which can cause problems if one system isn’t working right. If you’re unsure, it’s worth having a plumber check your system to make sure everything is in good shape.
