What is Subsoil Drainage?

Stormwater drainage solutions involve installing systems that manage water pooling and prevent damage to your property. In areas with heavy clay soil like Drummoyne, Five Dock, and Summer Hill, rainwater often sits on the surface or around your foundations, causing damp walls, cracks, and backyard flooding.

 

Our residential drainage services include french drain installation, soakwell installation, and other yard drainage solutions to ensure your surface water drainage is effective, directing water safely to council stormwater or approved absorption points on your property.

Signs You Need Subsoil Drainage

Common warning signs of drainage issues in Inner West homes

Backyard flooding after heavy rains

Water pooling around foundations or lawns

Cracks appearing in your walls or floors

Damp patches inside your home

Retaining walls starting to lean

Bad or musty smells around your home

If you have been seeing any of these signs around your inner west home, your property likely needs a subsoil drainage solution. The longer water sits around your foundations, the more expensive the repairs become. Our drainage plumbers inspect the problem and provide the most effective solution.

Professional installation in a few easy steps

How We Install Subsoil Drainage

When you book a subsoil drainage service with Champion Plumbing & Drains, we will inspect your property to identify water collection points and drainage needs.

From there, we will:

  • Dig trenches in your garden
  • Install perforated drainage pipes with filter fabric
  • Surround them with gravel
  • Backfill the trenches
  • Restore your lawn or paving back to normal

Most drainage repair services take around 2 to 5 days, depending on the size of your Inner West property and specific soil conditions. For a more accurate timeframe, call our team today to organise a drainage inspection.
