Slot drains
A recent innovation, slot drains are long, narrow linear ‘slots’ that usually run the length of an entire area such as a garden or driveway. They are perfect for areas in Australia that don’t require excessive drainage.
Open storm drains
Open storm drains are long, uncovered drains that run parallel to roads and properties. Open storm drains are usually more expensive to install but easy to maintain once completed.
Closed storm drains
Closed storm drains, or stormwater grates, are incredibly common drainage solutions in Australia that move water to underground sewer systems.
French drains
French drains are a type of stormwater drainage that’s commonly used to prevent pooling at a structure’s foundation. They utilise small grates that move groundwater into long pipes that carry water away from a property.
Detention and retention tanks
Both of these tanks are designed to collect rain and stormwater. However, detention tanks drain water gradually whilst retention tanks keep water that can be used at a later date.
The advantages of high-quality stormwater drainage
Good stormwater drainage is a crucial element of any building and property. As the climate changes, having high-quality stormwater drainage ensures your property will be able to withstand heavy rainfall and other intense weather conditions.

How to choose stormwater drainage that’s right for you
The first factor to consider is your local environment. Examining annual rainfall levels in your region of Australia as well as frequency and the chance of intense deluges of rain is important. You may wish to further consider if your area has lots of debris, as some systems handle debris from trees, soil, and grass better than others. You should also understand your area's soil type and the likelihood that it shifts or expands in different seasons. Secondly, you should consider where your drainage system will be installed. If you are installing a system in a large area with good natural drainage, you might be fine with a more basic system. In small areas that are likely to flood, a high-quality system may be a better choice to consider.
