Avoid car park flooding with regular drain clearing

Looks like we are set for a wet time here in Brisbane. For anyone in low-lying areas or those who live near waterways, this can mean some flooding and rising water. Most buildings are well suited to this yearly deluge and efficient drainage systems allow the water to flow quickly away from houses, apartments and commercial buildings. However, these drains must be maintained regularly and inspected during dry periods to make sure issues are not discovered once the rain begins.

Drain Clearing Brisbane

This is especially important if the building you live or work in has below-ground car parking or storage facilities. Flooding in apartment buildings and commercial car parks is a common issue body corporate and building management committees deal with each year. It's also a problem that insurance companies have mixed responses to.

Shopping centres also need to stay ahead of any potential rising water issues to prevent water damage to customers' vehicles in sub-ground car parks.

Avoid Flooded Car Parks - Schedule Regular Drain Clearing

Maintaining and routinely clearing drains throughout the year will keep flooding to a minimum, enable water to get away easily and ensure rising water doesn't push silt and debris up into the building making a bad situation worse.

Tidal areas of the bay, rivers and canals are especially susceptible to rising water from heavy rain coinciding with high or king tides. Shopping centres or apartment building management must think ahead to be in the best position to deal with the flooding until levels subside.

Implement systems today so your building can successfully negotiate flood or rising water by regularly inspecting and clearing drains throughout the year.
