What is a Stormwater System?
A stormwater system is a network of pipes and drains designed to collect and redirect rainwater runoff from roofs, driveways, and hard surfaces away from your home. Unlike sewer systems, stormwater flows directly into the environment, so it needs to be carefully managed to prevent property damage and environmental impact.

Common Questions
-
Storm drains — the metal grates you see along streets and curbs — are designed to collect rainwater and runoff from roads, driveways, and other hard surfaces. Their main purpose is to prevent flooding by directing excess water into underground drainage systems, which then flow into natural waterways like rivers or creeks.
-
Stormwater is rain runoff from roofs and surfaces. Sewerage is waste water from toilets, sinks and appliances. They require separate plumbing systems.
-
It could be poor drainage design, blocked pipes or insufficient stormwater capacity. We can inspect and identify the root cause.
-
Some installations, especially for new builds or subdivisions, may require council approval. We’ll handle all necessary compliance and paperwork.
-
No — this is illegal in most cases and can cause system overloads. We’ll ensure all drainage meets SA Water and council regulations.
-
Annually is ideal — particularly before winter. Regular checks prevent blockages, leaks and water damage.
