Common stormwater problems
- Water pooling in the same spot after every storm
- Water running down the driveway into the garage
- Downpipes emptying onto the ground and washing out garden beds
- Water sitting under the house or against the slab
- Stormwater lines full of silt, leaves and sand
How we work out the fix
We look at where the water actually goes, not where it should go. We walk the site, find the low points, check where the downpipes run, and put a camera down the existing lines. Often the fix is a blocked or broken pipe, not new drainage.
What we install
- Stormwater pits at low points, with a pipe run to the existing system
- Channel drains across driveways, garage entries and patios
- Downpipe connections so roof water goes into the pipes, not onto the ground
- Repairs to broken or blocked stormwater lines
Every system runs to a lawful point of discharge, with enough fall for the water to keep moving, and is tested before the trench is closed.
In heavy rain
South East Queensland gets intense summer storms. A system that copes with a normal shower can be overwhelmed by a downpour. We size pits and pipes for the roof and yard area they serve, not just the spot where the water sits.
