What it is
The kerb outlet where your roof water drains to the street is damaged or silted up.
Why it matters
If it can't drain, water backs up into your yard.
How we check it
We check where the stormwater discharges, including the kerb outlet.
The fix
Repair or replace the outlet and clear the line.
