Stormwater sump cleaning is essential for maintaining proper stormwater management. It involves removing debris, sediment, and pollutants from sumps and drains to prevent blockages and flooding.

The frequency of sump cleaning depends on several factors, such as the size and design of the sump, the amount and type of runoff, the rainfall patterns and the local regulations. Generally, it is recommended to clean your storm water sump at least once a year, or more often if you notice signs of clogging, such as slow drainage, standing water, foul smell or mosquito breeding.

A soak hole is a hole in the ground that allows rainwater runoff to soak into the soil. It is usually connected to a stormwater drain or a downpipe from a roof gutter. A soak hole helps to reduce surface runoff and replenish groundwater. A storm water drain is a pipe or channel that carries rainwater runoff away from your property to a larger drainage system, such as a stream, river or sea. A storm water drain on your property helps to prevent flooding and erosion by diverting excess water.

Some signs that your soak hole is blocked are: water pooling or overflowing around the soak hole, water backing up in your storm water drain on your property or downpipe, reduced water pressure in your taps or shower, wet patches or sinkholes in your lawn or garden.

If you suspect your soak hole is blocked, contact Gizzy Waste immediately. They can assess the situation and provide necessary soak hole drainage or soak hole maintenance services.

The duration of sump cleaning depends on the size and condition of the sump. Typically, it takes about an hour to clean a standard residential stormwater drainage. However, it may take longer if there are complications, such as hard-to-reach locations, heavy sediments, large volumes or damaged components.
