Main Causes of Blocked Stormwater Drains in Greenslopes
In Greenslopes' subtropical setting, blocked stormwater drains are common due to heavy rainfall (averaging 1,200mm annually), dense vegetation, and urban development. Unlike broader Brisbane issues, Greenslopes sees more erosion from its hilly terrain and root growth from eucalypts and figs in leafy streets like Cornwall or Logan Road.
Natural Debris: Leaves, twigs, and dirt wash into drains during storms, especially in autumn or after cyclones.
Tree Root Intrusion: Common in older Greenslopes homes where roots seek moisture, cracking clay pipes.
Sediment and Soil Erosion: Hilly areas like Greenslopes Heights lead to mud buildup in low-lying drains.
Human Factors: Improper disposal of waste (e.g., garden clippings, oils) or construction debris from renovations.
Overwhelmed Systems: During Brisbane's wet season (November-March), flash floods overload outdated infrastructure.
These causes can lead to flooding, property damage, or health hazards like stagnant water breeding mosquitoes. Our local knowledge helps us address them faster than generic services.
