Melbourne, March 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Melbourne, Victoria –
Fix-It Right Plumbing is calling on homeowners to take immediate action to ensure their stormwater drains are adequately maintained. With the approaching winter season, the company warns that increasingly unpredictable weather patterns are expected to bring heavier rainfall, and adequate stormwater drainage is essential to protecting homes from flooding and water damage.
“Homeowners need to be proactive in addressing their stormwater drainage systems, particularly as we head into the storm season,” said a representative for Fix-It Right Plumbing. “As we’ve seen with Cyclone Alfred and the upcoming winter rains, the risk of severe weather events is real, and inadequate stormwater drainage systems can lead to costly damage to properties.”
Fix-It Right Plumbing is dedicated to raising awareness among homeowners about the crucial role that properly maintained stormwater drains play in preventing flooding and water damage during extreme weather events. As Australia faces more drastic weather pattern changes, the risk of intense rainfall, cyclones, and storms has grown significantly.
“With the growing frequency of extreme weather events, it’s more important than ever to ensure that your stormwater drainage system is in top condition,” said a representative for Fix-It Right Plumbing. “A blocked or inadequate drain can turn a heavy rainfall into a flood emergency. Preparation is key.”
Ensuring that stormwater drainage systems are transparent and functioning efficiently is one of the most effective ways homeowners can protect their properties from the adverse impacts of these events. Regular inspections and drain clearing are necessary to avoid blockages that could lead to backups and flooding. Fix-It Right Plumbing is encouraging homeowners to act now rather than waiting for a storm to strike, ensuring their drains are fully prepared for the weather ahead.
“Ensuring your drains are clear today can save you from costly damage tomorrow,” said the representative for Fix-It Right Plumbing.
Fix-It Right Plumbing, an industry leader in plumbing services since 2007, offers an array of services, including blocked drain clearing, drain relining, leak detection, and tap repairs. The company has built a strong reputation across Australia, particularly in Melbourne, Geelong, Canberra, and surrounding areas, for its dedication to quality service and customer satisfaction.
The company stresses that, with the increase in rainfall expected during the coming months, ensuring stormwater drains are clear and functioning properly is a critical step in preventing flooding. Blocked or inadequate drains can quickly result in water overflow, leading to potential property damage and expensive repairs. Fix-It Right Plumbing recommends regular inspections and maintenance to avoid these risks.
