Stormwater Drainage Brisbane — Keep Your Property Safe and Dry

Heavy Brisbane rain can turn small drainage issues into major flooding fast.
At CK Plumbing, we’ve spent over 15 years helping homeowners across Holland Park, Mount Gravatt, Coorparoo, Carina, Tarragindi, and Brisbane’s Southside fix and improve their stormwater drainage systems.
From backyard pooling to collapsed pipes, we keep water flowing away from your home — not into it.

Why Proper Stormwater Drainage Matters

Stormwater drainage protects more than just your yard — it safeguards your foundations, retaining walls, and even electrical systems. Poor flow or blocked lines can cause:

  • Flooded lawns and soggy soil
  • Water pooling around slab edges
  • Damp walls and structural movement
  • Mould growth and foul odours
  • Driveway erosion and property damage

A professionally designed system channels rainwater safely to the street or soakwell, keeping your home dry year-round.

Our Stormwater Drainage Services

We handle everything from small repairs to full drainage installations:

  • Blocked stormwater drains cleared with water jetting
  • Pipe repairs and replacements for cracked or collapsed lines
  • New drainage design & installation for renovations or new builds
  • Downpipe and pit connections to improve flow
  • Stormwater pump installations for low-lying properties
  • Gully and soak well maintenance

We use high-pressure jetters, pipe locators, and inspection cameras to diagnose issues accurately before starting work.

Our Stormwater Drainage Services

Tree Root Infiltration

Brisbane’s leafy suburbs mean roots often invade pipes, breaking joints and blocking flow.

Old Clay or PVC Pipes

Age and ground movement can crack older pipes, allowing sediment to enter and water to escape.

Poor Slope or Design

Improper gradients or small pipe diameters cause slow drainage and pooling.

Blocked Grates and Gutters

Leaves, soil, and debris reduce water entry points during storms, quickly leading to flooding.

Stormwater Repair Process

Step 1
Inspection

We assess the entire network using pipe cameras and locators to find the true cause of the issue.

Step 2
Clearing or Excavation

Minor blockages are cleared with high-pressure jetting; major damage may require short, targeted excavation.

Step 3
Repair or Replacement

We replace damaged sections with durable PVC or upgrade to larger capacity lines if flow is insufficient.

Step 4
Testing & Prevention

All repairs are water-tested, and we provide maintenance tips to avoid future problems.
