With our experience in the plumbing industry and working on older style homes built in the 60s and 70s, stormwater was never though about properly or where the stormwater pipework would end up or the council did not have the correct stormwater systems in place for the household to connect there stormwater to.

There are a few different options when it comes to what to do with your stormwater system. Sometimes your home is below street level and this may require a pit with your stormwater system of pipes from roofs, gutters, downpipes, strip drains connecting too a pump to be installed to drain the water to the upper street level, this can all be determined by a site inspection.

In other cases your stormwater system can drain by gravity to the street as it is higher than the street level.

The last option could also mean an absorption pit can be installed on your property which is a jumbo trench drain installed below surface level with blue metal aggregate and which stormwater enters and drains away into the surrounding surface so there are many options depending on the layout of your land.

What is sub soil drainage or agg lines?

Sub soil drains are a very important requirement for any home where you want to protect stormwater from intruding into a home or keeping and area dry. Sub soil drains are installed below ground to pick up ground water which is not at the surface level. These drains are excavated and installed at different depths to suit the sub soil needs of the property, the agg line drain should have a geo fabric layer around it with blue metal around the agg line pipe this acts as a filter for the stormwater passing through the system. The geo fabric layer separates the dirt from the blue metal and acts as a barrier between them which also allows water to flow through.
