What is a Stormwater Pit?

A stormwater pit is an essential component of a well functioning drainage system, designed to safeguard your property from the damaging effects of excess rainwater. Essentially, it acts as an underground reservoir that collects and manages runoff from your roof, driveway, patios, and other hard surfaces. This prevents water from pooling in your yard, causing flooding, erosion, and potential damage to your home's foundation.

Think of it like this: when it rains, water flows across your property, picking up debris and pollutants along the way. A storm water pit intercepts this runoff, capturing it in a contained space. The pit then gradually releases the water into the stormwater drainage system at a controlled rate, preventing the system from being overwhelmed and ensuring efficient drainage.

Benefits of Stormwater Pits

By effectively managing stormwater runoff, a stormwater pit provides many benefits, including:

  • Protecting your home, landscaping, and surrounding environment from flooding and erosion
  • Safeguarding your house’s foundations and preventing costly repairs due to water damage
  • Keeping your yard dry and enjoyable all year round
  • Filtering out pollutants and reducing the demand on local waterways.

If you're experiencing drainage issues in your backyard, installing a stormwater pit can be a smart and effective solution.

Our Stormwater Pit Installation Process

At Eco Earth Plumbing, we take the hassle out of stormwater pit installation with our efficient and professional service. Here's how we get the job done:

Step 1 - Planning & Preparation for the Storm Pit

  • Our Eco Earth drainage specialists will visit your property to assess your drainage needs and determine the best location for your stormwater pit. We consider factors like the slope of your land, soil type, and where the water tends to gather.
  • We'll also obtain any necessary permits and approvals to ensure your installation complies with local regulations and legislation.

Step 2 - Digging the Pit Hole

  • Our team will excavate the area where the stormwater pit will be installed. We'll make sure the hole is the right size and depth for your specific pit.

Step 3 - Setting the Pit Foundation

  • We'll create a stable base for the pit using gravel or crushed rock. This makes sure there is proper drainage and prevents the pit from moving over time.

Step 4 - Installing the Stormwater Pit

  • We'll carefully lower the stormwater pit into the hole, making sure it's level and secure the installation.

Step 5 - Connecting the Stormwater Pipes

  • We'll connect the pit to your existing drainage system using long lasting pipes. This allows the collected storm water to flow away from your property safely.

Step 6 - Backfilling the Pit & Final Inspection

  • We'll fill the area around the pit with soil and compact it to give stability. We'll also clean up the work area, leaving your property neat and tidy.
  • We'll perform a thorough inspection to ensure your new stormwater pit is functioning properly and efficiently.

Our experienced plumbers handle every step of the process with care and precision, ensuring a long lasting and effective solution to your drainage problems. You can rest assured that your stormwater pit installation is in expert hands!
