Drainage Melbourne

Poor drainage is behind more property problems than most owners realise, pooling water, wet patches on the lawn, damp under a slab, or water running back toward the house instead of away from it. SMM Concreting Landscaping installs stormwater and subsoil drainage for homeowners, builders and businesses across the whole of Melbourne, with every job completed by our own crew, not subcontractors.

What Is

Drainage?

Drainage covers the pipes, pits, agricultural drains and grading that move water away from a property, whether that's stormwater off a roof and hard surfaces or groundwater sitting in the soil around a house. Done properly, it protects the structure of a home, the health of a lawn and the usability of paved and paved-over areas.

Most drainage problems come down to the same two issues: no fall, or no connection. A pipe laid flat won't move water no matter how good the pipe is, and a drain that isn't tied into stormwater or an agricultural line properly just relocates the problem instead of solving it. We grade and connect every system correctly the first time, which matters more for drainage than for almost any other part of a property.

Types of Drainage Work We Do

Stormwater Drainage Pipes and pits that capture and carry roof and surface water away from the property to the correct stormwater connection.
Subsoil & Agricultural Drainage Drainage laid to manage groundwater and keep it away from footings, slabs and garden beds.
Drainage Pits & Connections Pits, junctions and connections installed and tied in correctly so water is carried through the system, not trapped in it.
Site Grading & Regrading Correcting the fall across a site so surface water moves toward drainage instead of pooling or running back toward the house.
Downpipe & Surface Water Connections Connecting downpipes, driveways and paved areas into the drainage system so water is captured at the source.

Our Drainage Process

01 Site Assessment & Water Flow Check We assess the site, existing drainage and where water is currently pooling or running.
02 Drainage Design & Planning A drainage layout is planned around the site's falls, connections and the source of the problem.
03 Excavation & Pipe Laying Trenches are excavated and pipes laid to the correct depth, fall and connection point.
04 Pits & Connections Installed Drainage pits and connections are installed and tied into stormwater or agricultural lines correctly.
05 Backfill, Test & Handover The system is backfilled, tested to confirm water flows correctly, and the site is handed over.
