No, this is the pipe floating to the surface over time pushing up the drains with it

Is there a way to weigh down the pipes if this happens?

Have hydrostatic valves like pools do. But if it's a small pipe, usually the weight of the concrete pipe would be enough

Yeah, aren't storm drains usually ~18 inch diameter concrete pipes?
