Brisbane Southside’s Stormwater Drainage Specialists — 15+ Years Experience

Heavy rainfall in Brisbane doesn’t give much warning. When your stormwater drainage isn’t working properly, the damage it causes — to your foundations, your yard, your retaining walls, and your peace of mind — can be significant and expensive.

At Recovery Plumbing, we’ve been solving stormwater drainage problems for Brisbane Southside homeowners for over 15 years. From blocked drains and pooling water to full system installations and erosion control, we diagnose the real cause of your drainage issue and fix it properly — the first time.

Is Your Drainage Struggling? Watch for These Warning Signs:

Water pooling in your yard or around your home after rain If water isn’t draining away within a few hours of rain stopping, your system isn’t coping — and every storm is putting more pressure on your foundations and landscaping.

Soggy or waterlogged garden beds Consistently wet soil close to your home is one of the earliest signs of a drainage problem — and one of the easiest to miss until the damage is already done.

Cracks in retaining walls, concrete paths, or driveways Water moving through soil it shouldn’t be can shift and erode the ground underneath hard surfaces, causing cracking and subsidence over time.

Overflowing gutters or downpipes during moderate rain If your gutters are overflowing in anything less than a heavy downpour, your downpipes may not be connected to an adequate drainage system — or the system is blocked.

Water coming in under doors or pooling near your home’s foundations This is the most serious warning sign of all. Water consistently reaching your foundations will cause long-term structural damage that costs far more to repair than the drainage fix would have.

Our Stormwater Drainage Services:

Stormwater Drain Design & Installation Every property is different — slope, soil type, roof catchment area, and neighbouring properties all affect how water moves around your home. We assess your property properly and design a drainage system that handles Brisbane’s heaviest downpours, not just light rain.

Blocked Drain Clearing Leaves, sediment, roots, and debris build up in stormwater systems over time. We clear blockages using high-pressure water jetting and CCTV drain cameras — finding the real cause of the blockage rather than just treating the symptom.

Stormwater Drain Repairs Cracked or collapsed stormwater pipes, broken pits, and displaced connections are common in Brisbane Southside’s older homes. We repair or replace damaged sections with quality materials built to last.

Drainage System Upgrades If your existing system was undersized when it was installed — or just wasn’t designed for a Queensland storm — we upgrade pipes, add additional pits, and regrade surfaces to improve flow and protect your property.

Sump Pump Installation & Servicing For low-lying properties or areas where gravity drainage isn’t possible, sump pumps provide a reliable solution. We install and service sump pump systems so they’re ready to perform when the next storm hits.

Erosion Control Uncontrolled stormwater runoff erodes soil, destabilises slopes, and can damage fences, retaining walls, and garden structures. We implement erosion control solutions including correct grading, retaining walls, and surface drainage to keep your property stable.
