Stormwater Drainage Done Properly, the First Time

The Spit Plumbing & Drains handles every stage of stormwater drainage work across The Spit and greater Gold Coast, from stormwater drain cleaning, stormwater pit cleaning and blocked stormwater drain clearing through to full stormwater pit installation and new stormwater connections. Whether you're dealing with a flooded driveway near the beachfront or a stubborn blockage caused by tree roots and sand build-up, our team arrives with the cameras, jetting equipment and experience needed to sort it properly. We work on residential stormwater drainage for courtyards and unit blocks, plus commercial stormwater drainage for larger sites, throughout the area, so we understand how local soil conditions and coastal weather affect drainage performance. We also handle stormwater upgrades and correct illegal stormwater-to-sewer connections to keep every property compliant.

If water is pooling on your patio, a stormwater pit is bubbling or your yard floods every time it rains, don't wait for the problem to get worse. Give our The Spit team a call and we'll get someone out to inspect, diagnose and fix the issue with a fixed, upfront price. You'll receive honest advice and a plumber who turns up when promised, with no obligation attached.

Facing a Stormwater Problem?

The Warning Signs of a Failing Stormwater System

Stormwater drains work quietly in the background until something goes wrong, and then the problem shows up fast. Pooling water on the driveway or patio, a gurgling pit after rain, stormwater backflow through an overflow relief gully, or water tracking under the back door are all signs that your stormwater line is struggling to cope. Left unchecked, these issues can undermine paving, erode garden beds and even push water back towards your home's footings.

Properties near The Spit face an added challenge: sandy, low-lying ground and a high water table mean drainage systems have to work harder during the wet season. Cracked pipes, collapsed lines, hidden stormwater pipe leaks and tree root intrusion are common culprits, along with pits and grates that have simply filled with silt and leaf litter over time. In some cases, a charged stormwater line surging during heavy rain, a faulty kerb outlet or shared interallotment drainage can also be to blame, and older systems may even be cross-connected to the sewer, causing overflows and unpleasant odours.

If you're noticing any of these signs, including standing water that requires a sump pump stormwater pump out to make the yard usable again, it's worth having a licensed plumber inspect the system before the next heavy downpour arrives.

    Our Solution

    The Spit Plumbing & Drains's Approach to Stormwater Drainage in The Spit

    The Spit Plumbing & Drains takes a methodical approach to every stormwater job, starting with a proper inspection to identify the true cause, particularly on properties dealing with poor site drainage or a persistently wet yard. Once we know exactly what's happening underground, we recommend the most practical fix for your property and budget.

    • CCTV stormwater inspections to locate collapses, root intrusion and illegal sewer connections
    • High-pressure stormwater jetting to clear silt, leaf litter and stubborn stormwater blockages
    • No-dig stormwater relining for cracked or root-damaged pipes
    • Stormwater pit installation, pipe installation, grate replacement and soakwell solutions for driveways, courtyards and gardens
    • Ag drain, channel drain, strip drain and box drain installation to dry out persistently wet yards
    • Downpipe and roof water connections that divert water safely away from footings

    Every recommendation comes with a fixed price before any work begins, so you can make an informed decision without pressure.

      FAQs

      Stormwater Drainage FAQs

      Stormwater drainage can be confusing, especially when it comes to figuring out who's responsible for what. Here are some of the questions we're asked most often by The Spit homeowners and business owners, answered by our experienced plumbing team.

      Generally, homeowners are responsible for the stormwater drainage within their own property boundary, including pipes, pits and connections that carry runoff to the legal point of discharge. Council typically manages the stormwater infrastructure within the road reserve and public drainage network. If you're unsure where your responsibility ends, our plumbers can inspect your system and clarify exactly what falls under your care.
      Overflowing stormwater drains are usually caused by a blockage somewhere in the system, whether that's leaves and silt built up in a pit, a cracked or missing stormwater pit lid, tree roots working their way into a pipe joint, or a section of pipe that has cracked or collapsed. A missing leaf guard can also let debris straight into the line. Undersized or poorly graded pipework can also struggle to cope with heavy downpours, particularly on low-lying coastal properties. A camera inspection is the most reliable way to find the exact cause.
      Yes, tree roots are one of the most common causes of stormwater blockages we encounter. Roots are drawn towards the moisture inside a pipe and can enter through small cracks or joints, gradually growing until they restrict or completely block the flow of water. Once roots are established, high-pressure jetting, root cutting and stormwater root removal is usually needed to restore proper drainage, and pipe relining can help prevent regrowth.
      Illegal cross-connections between stormwater and sewer lines often show up as unpleasant odours, gurgling sounds or sewage surfacing during heavy rain. These connections are a health and environmental hazard and are not compliant with plumbing regulations. A CCTV inspection can confirm whether your property has a cross-connection, and our plumbers can carry out the correction work needed to separate the systems properly.
      A legal point of discharge is the approved location where your property's stormwater is permitted to leave the site and enter the public drainage network or a natural watercourse. Directing stormwater anywhere else, such as onto a neighbouring property, into the sewer, or across a stormwater easement without approval, can cause disputes, flooding and compliance issues. If you're renovating, extending or simply unsure about your current setup, it's worth having your discharge point checked to ensure stormwater compliance in The Spit.
