Your local Adelaide plumbers

Stormwater Adelaide, done right.

Proper stormwater drainage is essential for protecting your home. When heavy rain hits Adelaide, your stormwater system should efficiently direct water away from the house — preventing flooding, erosion and costly structural issues to footings and foundations.

Hall & Baum are Adelaide stormwater drainage specialists, providing repairs, upgrades and new installs for homes across Adelaide. Whether you're dealing with blocked stormwater drains, overflowing pits, poor drainage, pooling water or damaged stormwater pipes, our experienced team can diagnose the issue and provide a long-lasting solution.

Using CCTV drain cameras and specialised equipment, we locate blockages, identify damaged pipes and make sure your system is working as it should. From repairs and maintenance through to complete stormwater installations and upgrades, we'll give you peace of mind through Adelaide's unpredictable winter weather.

We also handle blocked drains in Adelaide, cctv drain inspections in Adelaide and gutter cleaning in Adelaide, so one call covers the whole job. Browse our full range of residential plumbing services in Adelaide, or book a plumber online in under a minute.

Puddles against walls or footings after rain mean water isn't being carried away properly.

Overflowing pits & gutters

Stormwater pits or downpipes that overflow in heavy rain usually point to a blockage further down the line.

Soggy lawns & erosion

Constantly wet patches or washed-out garden beds can signal a broken or poorly designed stormwater system.

Stormwater questions

Why stormwater problems are so common in Adelaide homes

These are the questions Adelaide homeowners ask us most about stormwater, answered by plumbers with 70+ years of local experience.

Why do stormwater drains overflow after heavy rain?

Adelaide's short, heavy downpours after dry spells wash leaves and silt into pipes that are already partly blocked.

Can tree roots get into stormwater pipes?

Yes. Older PVC and earthenware stormwater lines are easy targets for roots looking for water through dry summers.

Where should stormwater drain to in Adelaide?

Most councils require stormwater to go to the street kerb or an approved system, never into the sewer. We'll make sure yours complies.

Why is water pooling around my house?

Poor falls, blocked downpipes or cracked pipes in clay soil let water collect against footings, which can lead to cracking and damp.

FAQs

Stormwater Adelaide: your questions answered

Can’t find what you’re after? Our friendly Adelaide team is happy to help.

A stormwater drainage system collects rainwater from roofs, gutters, downpipes, driveways and outdoor areas, directing it safely away from your home and property.

Common signs include water pooling around your home, overflowing stormwater pits, soggy lawns, slow-draining outdoor drains, flooding after rain, or water entering your home or garage.

Leaves, dirt, tree roots, garden debris, sediment build-up and other material washed into the system during heavy rain are the most common causes in Adelaide.

Yes. We use specialised drain clearing equipment and high-pressure water jetting to remove blockages and restore proper water flow.

Pooling water may indicate blocked stormwater drains, inadequate drainage design, damaged pipes or insufficient capacity. We’ll inspect your system and recommend the best solution.

Absolutely. Poor drainage can lead to flooding, foundation movement, erosion, water ingress, mould growth and long-term structural damage if left unresolved.

Yes. We design and install new stormwater drainage systems — including pits, pipes, soakage solutions and drainage upgrades for renovations and new homes.

We recommend regular inspections, particularly before Adelaide’s winter and periods of heavy rainfall, to catch blockages or maintenance issues before they become costly.
