Drainage is very important in any home and one way to achieve this is by having your guttering correctly connected to stormwater pits and drains. Read on for more.

Your home’s guttering is vital for draining the water from the roof but that water needs to go somewhere. For this reason, the downpipes in the guttering system connect to special pipes underneath the home. These channel the waste water from the home and redirect it out through the stormwater system so that the water doesn’t flood or pool around your property.

The pipes underneath the home then connect to the roadside gutters, larger stormwater drains, or stormwater pits. If the guttering system is not properly connected to these, you can cause damage to your guttering system or cause flooding that can cause further damages. This damage can be expensive to repair and if it gets into the mains water supply, there can be a lot of problems.

To connect your guttering to the stormwater pits and drains, you will need the help of a plumber or roof plumber. Ensure that yours is correctly qualified, licensed and insured and is experienced at connecting all types of guttering systems to the stormwater system
