Stormwater Pit

What is a Stormwater Pit?

In short, a stormwater pit is an underground structure/pit to capture stormwater and to manage the run off.

What do Stormwater Pump wells do?

The main purpose is to capture runoff from roofs, roads, driveways, and paved areas. We also see many backyards with drainage issues select smaller pits to remove

This often comes with other debris like sand, rubbish and leaves.

How do they work?

Excess or overflow Water flows will enter the pit through a grate or often a PVC inlet. Heavier materials and the debris will settle at the bottom overtime. The water that sits on top will exit the pit via an outlet pipe or overflow pipe and will be forced into the stormwater.

Where do we find them?

Storm water Pits are installed underground in many locations.

• Residential properties (downpipe connections, yard drainage, basements, backyards)

• Roads and car parks – these will have a grated lid with larger pit capacity

• Commercial and industrial sites for water management

How to assemble?

Installers can opt for a pit – whether this be concrete, polyethylene, fibreglass or other and then plumb the inlet and outlet/overflow and pumps themselves.

Otherwise there is a pre-plumbed solution where most often Polyethylene tanks arrive on site with plumbing already installed. The installer simply drops the pumps into the chamber and then plumbs the outlet and overflow from the pit to the stormwater.

What pre-plumbed options are available?

Pre-plumbed smaller domestic options for water pooling in the backyard to larger stormwater pits required for new build homes as nominated by plans.

Smaller domestic pit options are found on our website – these are delivered with a small courier feed to Australia.
