Signs Of A Stormwater Problem

Is Your Property At Risk Of Flooding?

Stormwater drainage problems rarely announce themselves until heavy rain arrives, and by then the damage is already underway. A blocked stormwater drain, cracked pipe or undersized pit can send water pooling across lawns, driveways and courtyards instead of carrying it safely away. In Burnside's clay soils, that trapped water lingers against fences, retaining walls and building foundations, leaving behind poor site drainage that only gets worse each season.

Left unresolved, wet yard drainage can undermine paving, erode garden beds and eventually seep into subfloor areas or garages. A charged stormwater line, one under pressure during a downpour, may surge back through grates or blow fittings apart, while root ingress and a collapsed stormwater line gradually choke the system altogether. Some properties even have an illegal stormwater-to-sewer connection, which can trigger overflows and odours without an obvious cause.

None of these issues tend to improve on their own, and most worsen with each storm season. If you've noticed water pooling after rain, a bubbling stormwater pit, or dampness tracking along a wall, it's worth having a licensed stormwater plumber take a proper look before the next heavy downpour.

    Burnside Plumbing & Drains's Approach To Stormwater Drainage In Burnside

    Burnside Plumbing & Drains takes a methodical approach to every stormwater drainage job in Burnside, beginning with a proper CCTV diagnosis before recommending any repair. Using stormwater camera inspection equipment, we locate collapses, belly points, root ingress and illegal connections, so you only pay for the work your property genuinely needs.

    • Stormwater drain cleaning and high-pressure jetting to clear silt, leaves and root growth
    • Stormwater pit installation and pit repair at low points across driveways, courtyards and gardens
    • Trenchless stormwater pipe relining for cracked or root-invaded lines
    • Ag drain and channel drain installation for persistently wet yards and paved areas
    • Downpipe stormwater connections and legal point of discharge checks, including kerb outlet and interallotment drainage work many homeowners don't realise falls under their own responsibility

    Every repair or installation is completed under our upfront fixed-price agreement, so there are no surprise costs once work begins. Combined with our lifetime workmanship guarantee, Burnside homeowners get a stormwater solution built to handle whatever the Sunshine Coast wet season brings.

      Common Questions

      Stormwater Drainage FAQs

      Stormwater drainage can be confusing, especially when it comes to working out what's your responsibility and what isn't. Here are some of the questions Burnside customers ask us most, answered plainly by our experienced team.

      Stormwater and sewer systems are completely separate networks, even though both run underground around your property. Stormwater pipes carry rainwater from your roof, driveway and yard away to the local drainage system, while sewer pipes carry wastewater from toilets, sinks and showers. The two should never be connected, though older properties sometimes have an incorrect cross connection that causes overflows, odours and compliance headaches. If you're ever unsure which system a pipe or grate belongs to, it's worth having a licensed plumber confirm it for you.
      Generally speaking, property owners are responsible for the stormwater pipes and pits within their own boundaries, while the local council maintains the public network in the street. That means if a blockage, crack or collapse is happening on your side of the boundary, arranging the repair usually falls to you. It's worth understanding where your legal point of discharge is located, as this determines where your stormwater is meant to exit your property and connect into the wider system.
      Pooling water usually points to a blockage, an undersized pipe, or ground that isn't graded to carry water away properly. Leaves, silt and root growth are common causes of blocked stormwater drains, particularly where there are established trees nearby. In some cases, the issue is a poorly positioned or missing stormwater pit, meaning water has nowhere to enter the drainage system in the first place. A camera inspection is usually the quickest way to identify exactly what's happening underground.
      Yes, and the damage can be more serious than most people expect. When stormwater can't drain away properly, it lingers against fences, paving and building foundations, gradually softening the ground and putting pressure on structures never designed to sit in water. Over time, this can lead to cracked paving, unstable retaining walls, and water tracking into subfloor areas or garages. Addressing a blockage early is almost always simpler than dealing with structural problems later.
      In many cases, yes. Pipe relining is a trenchless technique that restores a damaged stormwater pipe from the inside, avoiding the need to excavate driveways, gardens or paving above the line. It's particularly useful for pipes affected by root intrusion or minor cracking, where the surrounding pipe structure remains sound. A CCTV inspection beforehand helps determine whether relining is suitable, or whether a section of pipe needs excavating and replacing instead.
      If a pit is overflowing, it's usually because something downstream is restricting the flow, whether that's a build-up of leaves and debris, root growth, or a collapsed section of pipe. Avoid disturbing the pit lid while water is actively flowing, and once conditions are safe, arrange for a licensed stormwater plumber to inspect the line. Regular clearing of grates and pits, especially heading into storm season, is one of the simplest ways to prevent overflows happening again.
