Reliable Stormwater Drainage Solutions in Burwood

Blocked or damaged stormwater drains can cause flooding, foundation damage, and long-term issues like mould. Burwood homes are especially vulnerable because of Melbourne’s unpredictable weather.

Even well-maintained systems can struggle during heavy downpours. During the 2022 Tasmanian floods, more than 22,000 insurance claims were lodged - a clear reminder of how much damage poor drainage can cause.

At Moz Plumbing, we’ve spent over 10 years helping Burwood homeowners fix and prevent stormwater problems. Our licensed plumbers specialise in cleaning, repairing, installing, and replacing stormwater drains to keep your property protected.

If you notice pooling water, gurgling sounds, soggy ground, or overflowing gutters, call our local team today for fast, reliable stormwater drain cleaning.

Common Stormwater Drain Issues We Fix

Stormwater drain problems can start small but quickly turn into major headaches if left unchecked. Whether it’s pooling water on your lawn, gurgling sounds from the drains, or flooding around the house after heavy rain, these are all signs that your system needs attention.

Blocked Stormwater Drains and Pits

Homes built 30 to 40 years ago often have ageing pipes that can collapse or crack. Tree roots, construction work, and shifting soil can make it worse, leading to backups, flooding, or water pooling on the lawn.

At Moz Plumbing, we accurately locate and repair or reline pipes using non-invasive methods wherever possible. If the damage is extensive, we’ll replace the pipes while ensuring full compliance with local regulations.

Flooding, Pooling & Surface Water Problems

When drains are undersized or poorly maintained, water can’t flow away fast enough during storms, leading to flooding, soil erosion, and damage to your landscaping or foundations.

We offer tailored drainage solutions based on your property’s unique layout. After assessing the cause, we may recommend drainage pit upgrades, channel drains, or grading improvements for long-term protection.

Collapsed or Damaged Drainage Lines

At Moz Plumbing, we accurately locate and repair or reline pipes using non-invasive methods wherever possible. If the damage is extensive, we’ll replace the pipes while ensuring full compliance with local regulations.

I must agree with the other reviewers 🙂 Cam is a great communicator who provided a friendly service, professional advice, and a did a great job replacing the toilet for us. He took the time beforehand to confirm that the toilet I had in mind would fit into the (specific and limited) space, and took the time after to provide advice on other plumbing matters I asked him about. I will not hesitate to hire him for future plumbing jobs (and already have the next one in mind 🙂 ). (Oh, also... he left the place clean, which is not something I am used to after such jobs...)
