⚡ Common Storm Season Problems

Blocked Stormwater Drains
Leaves, gravel, and debris can quickly block stormwater drains and pits, causing flooding around homes, sheds, and work sites.
Septic & HSTP Overflows
When rainwater enters your treatment system, it can overload tanks and pumps — leading to system failure, odours, and contamination.

Power Failures Impacting HSTPs
Systems like Taylex, Ozzi Kleen, BioCycle & more rely on power to run pumps and aerators. When the power drops, treatment stops — and alarms can sound fast.

Erosion and Drainage Damage
Heavy runoff can wash away soil around trenches, irrigation lines, and soakage areas, reducing your system’s efficiency and lifespan or causing failed septic trenches.

💧 How to Get Storm-Ready

✅ Book a Pre-Storm Wastewater Check

Our licensed technicians will inspect your system, pumps, and alarms to make sure everything’s running efficiently before the rain hits.

✅ Jet Clean Your Stormwater & Sewer Lines

We use high-pressure water jetting to remove debris, roots, and sediment — keeping drains clear and ready for heavy rain.

✅ Check Your ORG (Overflow Relief Gully)

A blocked or buried ORG can cause water to back up into your home or building — it’s a small check that prevents a big mess.

✅ Know Your Alarm System

If your HSTP alarm goes off during a storm, call us immediately — we can guide you through it and attend if needed.
