Drainage FAQs
How do I know if I have a drainage problem?
Signs include pooling water after rain, soggy lawn areas that never dry out, water stains on
foundation walls, mould or damp smells near the house, and erosion in garden beds. If water
regularly collects near your home, it is worth getting a drainage assessment.
What is ag pipe and when is it used?
Ag pipe (agricultural pipe) is a slotted or perforated flexible pipe wrapped in geotextile
fabric. It is buried in trenches filled with gravel to collect and redirect groundwater away
from problem areas. It works well for waterlogged lawns and retaining wall drainage.
Do I need council approval for drainage work?
Minor drainage within your property usually does not require approval. However, connecting to
council stormwater systems or altering existing connections typically requires approval and
must be done by a licensed plumber. Your contractor can advise on permit requirements.
Can drainage be installed in an established garden?
Yes, experienced contractors can install drainage with minimal disruption to existing gardens.
Narrow trenching equipment reduces the impact on lawns and garden beds. Your installer can
discuss options to protect established plants during the work.
