our process

The Steve Bennett Plumbing Blocked Stormwater Drain Process

We follow a structured process to deliver reliable, hassle-free plumbing solutions with minimal disruption:

01

Inspection & Diagnosis

Licensed plumbers use CCTV drain cameras to locate blockages, cracks, and root intrusions, providing an accurate diagnosis without unnecessary digging or guesswork.

02

Stormwater Drain Cleaning & Clearing

High-pressure water jetting blasts away debris, silt, and tree roots, clearing stormwater drains efficiently while preventing future clogs and overflows during heavy rain.

03

Repairs & Preventative Maintenance

Damaged stormwater pipes are repaired or relined to restore drainage efficiency. Ongoing maintenance, including inspections and cleaning, helps prevent recurring blockages and costly repairs.

04

Final Testing & Customer Satisfaction

Drains are thoroughly tested post-repair to ensure smooth water flow. Customers receive expert advice on maintaining clear stormwater systems for long-term reliability.

Common Causes of Blocked Stormwater Drains

Understanding what’s blocking your stormwater drains is the first step to preventing costly damage. Here are the most common culprits:

Tree Roots in Stormwater Pipes

Stormwater pipes attract thirsty tree roots, which squeeze into cracks, expand, and cause severe blockages or even pipe collapses. Using CCTV inspections and specialised root-cutting techniques, we remove the problem at the source without damaging your pipes.

Debris & Leaf Buildup

Leaves, dirt, and garden debris easily wash into stormwater drains, creating stubborn blockages that lead to pooling water and overflows. Regular drain cleaning and gutter maintenance prevent clogs, keeping your stormwater system running smoothly.

Collapsed or Damaged Stormwater Pipes

Old or damaged pipes collapse under pressure, stopping water from draining properly and causing backups. Depending on the damage, we use pipe relining for a seamless repair or full replacements for long-term stormwater drainage solutions.

How Blocked Stormwater Drains Cause Serious Property Damage

Blocked stormwater drains aren’t just an inconvenience—they can cause major damage to your home or business if left untreated. Here’s why fast action is crucial:

Flooding & Water Damage– When stormwater can’t drain properly, excess water pools around your property, flooding basements, driveways, and landscaped areas, leading to costly water damage.
Soil Erosion & Foundation Issues – Blocked drains force water to seep into the soil, weakening foundations and causing structural instability over time. Cracks in walls and sinking driveways are common signs.
Roof & Gutter Damage – Clogged downpipes and overflowing gutters push water back onto your roof, increasing the risk of leaks, rotting timber, and expensive roof repairs.
Health Hazards & Mould Growth – Stagnant water creates the perfect environment for mould, mildew, and mosquito infestations, affecting indoor air quality and increasing health risks.
Damage to Driveways & Walkways – Standing water from poor drainage can lead to cracks, potholes, and unsafe walking surfaces, creating trip hazards and costly repairs.

Don’t let a minor blockage turn into a major disaster. If you suspect a blocked stormwater drain, act fast before it leads to serious damage.

faq

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my stormwater drain is blocked?

Pooling water, slow drainage, and overflowing gutters are clear warning signs. Hidden blockages often require CCTV inspections to detect tree roots, debris buildup, or pipe collapses before serious flooding occurs.

What causes stormwater drains to become blocked?

Tree roots, leaves, dirt, and debris buildup are common culprits. Cracked or collapsed pipes and poor drainage design can also obstruct proper water flow, leading to backups during heavy rain.

Can heavy rain cause stormwater drain blockages?

Sudden downpours put extra pressure on clogged stormwater drains, often resulting in flooding, erosion, and potential structural damage. Regular maintenance helps prevent blockages from becoming a major issue during storms.

What’s the best way to prevent stormwater drain blockages?

Routine drain cleaning, installing leaf guards, and professional CCTV inspections help maintain clear stormwater pipes. Preventative maintenance reduces the risk of costly blockages and ensures efficient drainage during wet weather.

Do you offer emergency stormwater drain services?

Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency stormwater drain clearing across Sydney. Our team responds fast to urgent blockages, preventing water damage and restoring proper drainage as quickly as possible.

How quickly can you respond to a blocked stormwater drain?

Hi there. Work required to be was to install tapware and a laundry tub as well replace a burst inlet pipe in the bathroom. This was done well. However one of the new taps was not installed straight and it as an angle to the wall. Also the board under the waste-paper below the tub was cut roughly. Photos attached.
We have dealt with Steve Bennett Plumbing several times over the years and have been happy with their service.

Tracy Tang

My partner found this highly rated business online and we believed it was a great as we relied on Google reviews. We were thoroughly disappointed with the communication and the service provided in two occasions.

1. Day 1: Our apartment (where we have tenants now) drain was clogged and contacted Steve Bennett plumbing to access and fix on 7/3/24. They had managed use a drain solvent to unclog. We were charged $236 for call out fee and product used. At this point we were pleased that it was just clear and were happy to pay for their service.

2. Less than a week later 13/3/24 the drain was clogged again so we wanted to check in with the plumbing service and asked for their recommendation on what to do. They offered a pressure wash and to lodge a camera to see what they could do to help fix. They also offered no call out fee and mentioned they'd have a member check it out on the Friday 15/3/24 on the same week. We agreed to the service and wanted to go ahead with their recommendation.

3. The service was completed and we received a quote of the same exact service - liquid drain solvent poured down and call out fee. We were confused and frustrated that what was promised was not delivered but in fact the same solvent was poured down the drain with $236 invoice sent to us to be paid again. Frustratingly we called the team and asked why they offered to service of pressure wash and camera to access issue and why it was not actioned. We were fine to pay but would have appreciated some communication to what we agreed on.

4. We called today and they apologised and mentioned it could be a bigger issue. (This was why we agreed to the camera assessment). We are not happy customers and will no longer be using their services again.
