20 Years Keeping Marsden Properties Dry

What's Really Happening Under Your Yard

A stormwater system that's working properly should carry roof and surface water away without you ever thinking about it. When it isn't, you'll usually notice water pooling near the house after rain, a driveway that turns into a small lake, or a stormwater pit that bubbles and overflows during a downpour. These aren't small inconveniences; left alone, they can undermine slabs, saturate retaining walls and push water back towards your home's footings.

Root ingress, collapsed sections and silt build-up are the most common culprits we find when we camera inspect a line, especially in older parts of Marsden where clay pipes have been in the ground for decades. Charged lines that surge or blow fittings during heavy rain point to undersized or poorly graded pipework, while a strong smell from a grate can indicate an accidental connection into the sewer. Whatever the cause, ignoring it rarely makes it disappear, it tends to get worse with the next heavy storm.
