// Why It Matters

CONSEQUENCES OF POOR DRAINAGE

🏚️

Foundation Damage

Poorly drained surface water can saturate soil around foundations, causing cracking, subsidence, and costly structural repairs.

💦

Basement & Floor Flooding

Blocked or absent storm drains allow water to back up into buildings during heavy rainfall — particularly common in Cape Town's winter months.

🐛

Damp & Mould

Standing water and poor drainage leads to damp penetration, mould growth, and long-term damage to walls, floors and ceilings.

🚗

Driveway & Paving Damage

Water pooling on driveways and paved areas erodes the sub-base and causes cracking, sinking and trip hazards.

// FAQ

STORM DRAIN FAQ

How do I know if my storm drain is blocked?

Common signs include water pooling on your property after rain, slow-draining gutters, waterlogging in the garden, or visible debris build-up in gullies and channel drains.

When is the best time to install storm drains in Cape Town?

Ideally before Cape Town's rainy season (June–August). However, we install drainage year-round — and we also handle urgent clearing and repairs during the wet season.

Can you install a French drain for a waterlogged garden?

Yes. French drains are one of our most requested drainage solutions for Cape Town gardens. We assess the gradient, soil type, and best outlet point before installation.

Do you clear blocked storm drains as an emergency?

Yes. If your storm drain is blocked during heavy rain and causing flooding, call us on 067 926 4879 — we offer 24/7 emergency drainage services.
