Brisbane Stormwater Drainage

Control roof runoff, overflowing pits and water collecting around your property with a connected stormwater plan.

Your property, considered

Stormwater Drainage in Brisbane

Heavy rain should drain away from your property, not collect against the house, flood the garage or leave the driveway under water. A connected stormwater system gathers roof and surface runoff and sends it somewhere suitable, which is especially important during Brisbane's summer storm season. Good drainage protects your property.

Every site has different levels, soils and catchments, so the right solution varies and may need Council approval. Tell us what happens during a downpour at your property, and we can help you plan stormwater drainage that fits. Reactive clay and sloping blocks across much of Brisbane can influence which approach works.

What we handle

Stormwater Drainage Services in Brisbane

Stormwater Pipe Installation

We install stormwater pipes and connections for homes and commercial properties, laying them to correct falls and connecting to approved discharge points so rainwater leaves your site safely and efficiently.

Pits and Grates

We install stormwater pits and grates at low points and downpipe connections, collecting surface water efficiently and giving you easy access for inspection and cleaning, helping prevent blockages and flooding.

Stormwater Repairs

Cracked, blocked or collapsed stormwater lines cause flooding and erosion. We locate the fault, repair or replace pipe and restore full flow so your property drains properly and safely again.

Kerb and Street Connections

We connect your stormwater system to the street drainage or kerb outlet where permitted, installing correct fittings and completing the work to council requirements, giving you a legal, reliable outlet.

Flood Prevention Upgrades

If your property floods in heavy rain, we assess capacity and upgrade pipes, pits and outlets, helping your system handle the heavy, intense storms that are common in Brisbane summers.

Stormwater Drain Cleaning

We thoroughly clear leaves, silt and debris from stormwater lines and pits using powerful high-pressure equipment, restoring capacity and reducing the risk of blockages and overflows when heavy rain arrives.

Stormwater Drainage / In detail

Follow the water before choosing the drain.

Water pooling at the lowest part of a driveway can be a symptom of a wider problem. The starting point is to trace where water arrives, check surface falls and understand where the existing system sends it. Photos taken during or after a storm can help show where the water comes from.

For a new build or renovation, drainage needs to work with roof catchments, paving and landscape levels. An assessment should consider soil conditions, available space and the suitability of infiltration or an approved discharge point. Taking time to assess these factors helps plan a solution that stays practical.

Where it goes

Understanding lawful point of discharge for stormwater

Stormwater cannot simply be sent anywhere convenient. A lawful point of discharge is the place water is permitted to leave your property, and getting it wrong can create problems for neighbours and you.

In Brisbane that point may be a kerb outlet, an underground Council pipe or an approved inter-allotment connection, depending on the lot. Where it is, and what is allowed, can vary between properties, so confirm with Brisbane City Council or a qualified professional. Pumping or redirecting water onto a neighbour’s land is generally not acceptable.

  • Kerb and channel outlets

    Many lots drain to the street, but the pipe size, position and any approvals can vary and are worth checking.

  • Inter-allotment drainage

    Some lots drain through a neighbour’s easement. Check for easements and records before changing anything on that line.

  • Avoid redirecting onto neighbours

    Sending runoff across a boundary can raise legal and practical issues, even if the water was always heading that way.

  • Ask before you build

    New extensions and paving may change the catchment, so confirm discharge and any approval requirements early in planning.
