Stormwater Drainage Springvale

Clay soil significantly slows water absorption and can cause pooling around drainage points. This creates pressure on aging systems built during Springvale's main development period in the 1960s-1980s. Clay expansion during wet periods can also shift pipes and create blockages that require professional assessment.

Major stormwater modifications typically require South East Water notification and council approval.
