Situated on a ridge between the Merri Creek and Darebin Creek, Northcote can suffer from stormwater drainage issues during Melbourne’s notorious winter downpours. Leaves, twigs, and debris from the overhead canopy can easily clog gutters and stormwater pits, leading to flash flooding in backyards or garages.
Once your drain is cleared, prevention is key to ensuring you don't face a recurrence.
