Waste water

Common storm water drain issues

Storm water drainage systems, particularly in commercial and industrial sectors, are vital for managing large volumes of runoff generated from impermeable surfaces such as rooftops, paved areas, and roads. However, they come with their set of challenges.

These are the services we provide for you commercial waste water system:

• Repair
• Replacement
• Installation
• Maintenance
• Servicing
• Inspection

‍

Inadequate system design

Arguably, the most prevalent issue, an inadequately designed system, can lead to localized flooding, soil erosion, and infrastructure damage. It’s crucial that the system accounts for the area’s rainfall intensity, frequency, and catchment characteristics.

‍

Clogging & blockages

Over time, sediment, debris, and waste can accumulate in drainage systems, leading to blockages. Regular inspection and maintenance are pivotal to ensure that these systems remain obstruction-free and function optimally.

‍

Pollution and contaminant runoff

Industrial areas, in particular, are prone to producing storm water runoff mixed with oils, heavy metals, chemicals, and other pollutants. Without adequate filtration and treatment mechanisms, these contaminants can harm aquatic ecosystems and, eventually, human health.

‍

Inefficient filtration systems

While some drainage systems might incorporate filtration mechanisms, these can sometimes be inefficient, especially when faced with high volumes of runoff containing varied contaminants.

‍

Aging infrastructure

Many commercial areas, especially older ones, operate with outdated storm water infrastructure. These can be more susceptible to failures, cracks, and other structural issues, demanding regular upgrades and repairs.

‍

Lack of facilities

The absence of detention basins or retention ponds can strain the system, especially during high-intensity rainfall events. These facilities are designed to hold storm water temporarily, allowing for gradual release or infiltration, thus reducing peak flow rates.

How do charged storm water systems work?

A convential stormwater system typically relies on gravity to allow water to flow freely through pipes, draining away from buildings and into appropriate outlets, such as the local stormwater drainage system or water bodies. In these systems, the pipes remain dry or empty until there’s rainfall.

On the other hand, in a charged stormwater system, the pipes remain partially full of water, or “charged”, even during dry periods. This design is beneficial for specific scenarios where traditional gravity-fed systems might not be efficient or feasible.

How to deal with commercial & industrial storm water drainage

Stormwater, if not drained correctly, can lead to water pooling, flooding, suspended drainage issues, or even damage to property. These issues can disrupt your business operations, making it crucial to ensure a functional drainage system.

‍

Problem of blocked drains

Drains can quickly get blocked due to fallen leaves, debris, trash, and sometimes even the unfortunate misplaced object. Royal Flush Plumbing doesn’t just offer solutions, but prevention too. Our regular maintenance checks involve inspecting drains with specialized cameras. This lets us spot and clear blockages before they lead to bigger issues. It’s like giving your drainage system a spa day!

‍

Aging infrastructure

Like everything else, drains age over time. Cracks, leaks, and breaks are inevitable, especially in older buildings. Regular check-ups are key. Our team can detect minor issues and address them early on. If a problem is significant or the drain is too old, we can carry out parts replacement or even an entire system overhaul, ensuring the best solution for your needs.

‍

Drains with insufficient slope

For effective drainage, water needs a path. If your drains aren’t sloped correctly, water won’t flow efficiently, leading to stagnation. Royal Flush Plumbing is all about ensuring optimal flow. We assess the existing gradient and modify it if necessary. We’ll adjust and set things right, ensuring that water takes the shortest and quickest route out.

Importance of efficient storm water drainage

Storm water management is not just about diverting rainwater. It encompasses a broader spectrum of considerations, from environmental implications to infrastructural sustainability. Efficient drainage systems ensure:

Sustainability: Proper drainage systems can significantly reduce soil erosion, prevent flooding, and curtail the discharge of pollutants into water bodies.

Infrastructure Longevity: A robust drainage system can prevent waterlogging, which, if unchecked, can weaken building foundations and compromise the structural integrity of infrastructure.

Economic Implications: Efficient storm water drainage can lead to savings in the long run by preventing damage to infrastructure, reducing maintenance costs, and enhancing the longevity of the built environment.

Health and Safety: Proper drainage is vital to prevent the accumulation of stagnant water, which can become breeding grounds for disease-causing vectors like mosquitoes.
