Need a reliable drainage system? Our Brisbane plumbers are ready to help 24/7.
At CK Plumbing & Maintenance, we specialise in rainwater collection systems designed to suit Brisbane homes and businesses. Whether you want to save on water bills, reduce environmental impact, or comply with Queensland building codes, our licensed team makes it simple to get started.
From rainwater harvesting systems for gardens and toilets through to full domestic rainwater systems with pumps and filtration, we’ve got the experience and know-how to design, install, and maintain your setup properly.
Why Rainwater Collection Systems Matter in Brisbane
Water is one of our most valuable resources. Brisbane households use thousands of litres every week, and much of it could be replaced with rainwater reuse systems. With the right rainwater storage tanks, guttering, and filtration, you can easily harvest enough to cover gardening, laundry, and even drinking water (when properly treated).
Benefits of Rainwater Collection
Cut water bills – Less reliance on mains supply.
Perfect for gardens – Rainwater is free from chlorine, making it ideal for lawns and irrigation.
Eco-friendly living – Reduce demand on dams and reservoirs.
Boost property value – Buyers appreciate sustainable features.
Comply with codes – Some new builds require rainwater tank installation under Brisbane rainwater tank regulations.
Rebate options – Ask us about the Queensland water tank rebate to lower your upfront costs.
A well-designed rainwater reuse system can supply everything from garden taps to laundry, toilets, and even drinking water (with proper filtration).
Professional Rainwater Tank Installation
When it comes to rainwater tank installation, it’s not just about putting in a tank and walking away. A well-designed system requires:
Gutter systems for rainwater to direct flow properly.
Downpipes & first flush diverters to improve water quality.
Leaf debris filters to keep tanks clean.
Overflow valve setup to prevent flooding during heavy rain.
Pump & filtration unit to pressurise water for household use.
UV treatment rainwater for safe drinking supply.
We offer both above-ground and underground rainwater storage tanks, tailored to your property size, roof type, and water usage needs.
How Rainwater Systems Work
A rooftop rainwater harvesting system works by collecting water that runs off your roof, filtering it, and directing it into a storage tank. From there, it can be used in different ways depending on your setup.
Garden-only system – Water is gravity-fed or pumped to outdoor taps.
Laundry & toilets – Pumps supply water indoors for non-drinking use.
Whole-house systems – With UV and filtration, rainwater can be safe for showers, cooking, and drinking.
To keep things running smoothly, we also offer rainwater tank maintenance. Regular servicing includes flushing diverters, cleaning filters, inspecting pumps, and checking water quality.
Domestic & Residential Rainwater Solutions
Every home is different, and so are its water needs. That’s why our residential rainwater collection in Brisbane solutions are fully customised.
Common Options
Small tanks (2,000–5,000L): Perfect for gardens and outdoor taps.
Medium tanks (5,000–10,000L): Great for laundry, toilets, and lawns.
Large tanks (10,000L+): For households wanting near self-sufficiency.
We also design rainwater reuse systems with automatic switching to mains supply—so if your tank runs low, your home seamlessly switches back to town water.
Before installation, we provide a clear breakdown of the rainwater systems cost in Brisbane so you know exactly what to expect.
