How Does A Drainage Pit Work?

Also called a stormwater pit, a drainage pit is an essential part of your stormwater management system. Drainage pits redirect excess surface water away from your home, protecting it from flooding and damage. The surface water is collected in a small plastic or concrete container with a grate over the top and channeled safely away from your house through a network of pipes.

Without proper drainage, stormwater can seep into your garage and seep beneath the foundations of your home, leading to cracks, mould and mildew growth and significant structural issues. Drainage pits are best suited to high rainwater runoff areas such as driveways, footpaths, pavements, and homes on steep slopes.

What Are The Benefits of Installing Drainage Pits?

  • Prevent Property Damage: By redirecting stormwater away from your home, you are taking actionable steps to protect your property’s foundations, prevent soil erosion and reduce the risks of flooding.
  • Landscape Protection: Excessive surface water can pool in areas where you don’t want it to be. Lawns, plants, soil and your pristine garden beds are at risk of being washed away and becoming waterlogged. By installing a drainage pit correctly, you can stop worrying about your garden and create an environment for them to thrive.
  • Protect Your Waterways: Uncontrolled stormwater runoff collects harmful toxins and pollutants like fertiliser. These chemicals are then washed into rivers and streams, having devastating effects on your local waterways and wildlife. Installing a drainage pit allows you to control where your stormwater ends up, protecting the local rivers and creeks from contamination.
  • Safety Hazards: Stagnant water can hide potholes and create slippery surfaces in public areas like footpaths posing hazards to pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles.

When Do You Need a Drainage Pit?

While drainage and stormwater pits are beneficial, they aren’t a necessity for every home or business. Here are some common situations where installing drainage pits are recommended:

  • When you are building a new home or major renovations
  • Poor existing drainage
  • Sloping blocks
  • Local council requirements
  • Protecting Landscaping
  • Improving Yard Usability
  • Addressing Drainage issues from neighbouring properties
