Concrete Driveway Drainage Adelaide — How We Handle Stormwater

Intro — Adelaide's storms after long dry periods overwhelm poorly drained driveways fast

Why drainage matters before the pour — can't fix a flat driveway after installation

SA stormwater requirements — drainage must stay on-property or connect to Council system; no sheet flow to neighbour

Drainage design options

• Cross-fall (1:50 — drains to one side)
• Centre crown (drains both sides)
• Channel drain at entry or garage threshold
• Agricultural pipe to soakwell

Sloped vs flat blocks — different drainage risks

What we assess on-site — existing drainage, downpipe locations, kerb invert level, neighbour fence proximity

Pool surround drainage — 1:50 fall to linear drain; never pools at coping (links to pool surrounds page)

CTA — site assessment includes drainage planning at no extra cost
