Does anyone know how I can track where the drains connect and where a problem may be? Without calling a plumber I've dug up this access point: http://www.flickr.com/photos/67133211@N ... hotostream It was completely filled with mud. Am I supposed to connect the pipe on each end or is it designed to fill up and flow out the other end? Also, are stormwater drains supposed to have overflow relief gullys? http://www.flickr.com/photos/67133211@N ... hotostream Re: Storm water drain blocked - help please? 2Sep 05, 2011 10:13 am Can you find a storm water on the street that is in line with the pipe direction? The best way tell where it should be is on the original plans from when the house was built, but it may not be 100% accurate either. Has there been a lot of rain recently? If so it may take a while to drain out. A good way to see if the pipe is clear for a way is to get a really long piece of yellow tongue groove and stick in the pipe, try to feed it through and if it stop in the next few meters there is likely a blockage.
