As we move into the colder months and heavy rainfall becomes more frequent, it's good time to ensure that your storm water drains can handle the load.

Storm water drains are more susceptible to blocking up than sewers as they can be exposed to silt, leaves and tree root build up without us knowing. Generally we know if our sewer is blocked straight away as our toilet may not flush away properly or our shower will back up. In the case of storm water we usually only notice in heavy downpours as partially or fully blocked drains aren't capable of ridding water from areas such as channel and grate drains, pits or gutters.
