Drainage Challenges Unique to Stafford
Stafford's position in the Kedron Brook catchment creates specific drainage problems we see every day. The combination of older infrastructure and modern development continues to put stress on the whole system.
Kedron Brook Flooding
Living near Kedron Brook Parklands means you're in a flood-prone area. When the brook rises during heavy rain, it affects how well your home's drainage works. The high water levels can prevent your pipes from draining properly, causing sewage to back up into your house. Streets along Beaconsfield Terrace are particularly at risk because they sit so low compared to the surrounding areas.
Mixed Pipe Systems Causing Problems
Stafford has a mix of old clay pipes and newer PVC networks. The clay pipes were built decades ago and are now cracking and letting tree roots in. When roots get into these pipes, they create massive blockages that catch everything from toilet paper to kitchen waste. The newer areas have PVC pipes that work better, but they still connect to the older clay system, so problems upstream can affect your whole street.
Commercial Runoff Issues
All the hard surfaces around Stafford City Shopping Centre and commercial areas create extra runoff during storms. This water has to go somewhere, and it puts extra pressure on the residential drainage network. Your home's stormwater system gets overwhelmed when it has to handle water from roads, car parks, and rooftops in addition to the rain falling on your property.
Tree Root and Debris
The beautiful trees throughout Stafford are constantly dropping leaves and growing roots that search for water. Older clay pipes are like magnets for tree roots because they have so many joints and small cracks. Near Stafford State School and the parklands, we often find drains completely blocked with organic matter and root systems that have been growing for years.
Advanced Drainage Solutions for Stafford
We don't just clear blockages and hope they don't come back. Our approach involves finding the real cause of your drainage problems and fixing them properly so they stay fixed.
Our Proven Method
- Professional CCTV Drain Inspection: We start every job by putting a camera into your pipes to see exactly what's wrong. This shows us if you have tree roots, cracked pipes, or debris buildup. No guessing means we can fix the real problem.
- High-Pressure Water Jetting: Our industrial grade hydro jetting equipment cuts through the toughest blockages and cleans your pipes completely. It removes tree roots, strips grease off pipe walls, and flushes out years of accumulated debris.
- Trenchless Pipe Relining: When we find damaged clay pipes, we can create a brand new pipe inside the old one without digging up your yard. This modern solution is faster, cleaner, and lasts for decades.
- Emergency Pit Cleaning: After heavy rainfall, we clean out inspection pits and stormwater systems that get clogged with mud and debris from street runoff.

Keeping Your Stafford Drains Working Year Round
Simple maintenance can prevent most drainage emergencies. Here's what works best for Stafford properties:
- Clear your outdoor drains regularly: Remove leaves, sticks, and debris from stormwater grates, especially during autumn and before storm season. This stops blockages before they happen.
- Be smart about what goes down drains: Only toilet paper should go down toilets. Kitchen sinks should never get cooking oil, coffee grounds, or food scraps.
- Schedule regular inspections: If you live in an older part of Stafford with clay pipes and big trees, yearly CCTV inspections can catch root problems early.
- Keep gutters and downpipes clean: Blocked gutters overflow during storms and can flood your foundation or basement areas.
- Know your flood risk: If you're near the parklands or in low-lying streets, have a plan for heavy rainfall and know where your main water shut-off valve is located.
