Stormwater & Drainage
Cape Town's winter rainfall makes stormwater drainage a real concern, not a nice-to-have — poor drainage around a property leads to pooling, damp foundations, and in bad cases, water finding its way inside. We assess how water moves across and away from your property and fix the parts that aren't working.
How to tell
Signs you might need this
How it works
Our process
Assess
We trace how water moves across the property and where the drainage system is failing.
Repair or reroute
Clearing, repairing, or rerouting stormwater lines and connections as needed.
Test under load
Where possible, we test the fix with a real water flow, not just a visual check.
What's included
- Stormwater drain clearing and repair
- Downpipe and gutter connection checks
- French drain and rerouting solutions
- Municipal stormwater connection assessment
What it costs
Stormwater work varies enormously by scope — clearing a blocked drain is a standard call-out, rerouting a drainage line is a bigger project. We assess and quote on-site.
Questions about this service
Is stormwater drainage my responsibility or the municipality's?
Generally, drainage on your property is yours; the connection point to the municipal system is theirs. We can tell you which side of that line your issue sits on.
Can bad drainage actually damage my house?
Yes — persistent pooling near a foundation can lead to damp, and in serious cases, structural issues over time. It's worth fixing before it becomes a bigger repair.
