Stormwater drainage is essential for protecting your Brisbane property from water damage, erosion, and costly repairs. At Top Tier Plumbing, our stormwater drainage experts design, install, and maintain effective systems tailored to your home or business. Our team of stormwater plumbers will keep your outdoor areas safe, dry, and compliant year-round.
Brisbane homes face real challenges with stormwater drainage, especially during summer storms. Poor drainage can lead to:
These issues often build up slowly. But once they hit, the damage can be quick—and expensive. Fixing your stormwater drainage early can save you time, stress, and money. According to the Brisbane City Council, poor drainage and runoff can also damage property and block public infrastructure—another reason to act before problems escalate.
This usually signals a blockage in your downpipes or stormwater system, preventing water from draining properly.
Persistent standing water can lead to foundation damage and long-term structural issues.
In severe cases, stormwater can overflow into sinks, toilets, or showers—especially during heavy rains.
At Top Tier Plumbing, we offer full-service stormwater drainage solutions for homes across Brisbane. Whether you need a quick repair or a completely new system, our team delivers practical, long-lasting results with upfront pricing and no surprises.
Every job starts with a detailed assessment. If you’re dealing with water pooling, unpleasant odours, or flooding, we’ll inspect your system to identify the root cause.
Our team uses advanced tools—like CCTV drain cameras and water flow testing—to uncover collapsed pipes, blockages, or poor system design. Once diagnosed, we’ll offer honest advice and a fixed-price quote so you know exactly what to expect.
We don’t believe in quick patches. Our drainage repairs are built for long-term performance, improving water flow and reducing stress during heavy rains.
From clearing out stubborn blockages to reworking flawed pipe layouts, we focus on proper, permanent solutions that restore your system’s reliability.
If your property lacks an effective drainage setup—or you’re building from scratch—we can design and install a complete stormwater system from the ground up.
We take into account your site’s slope, roof area, soil type, and council requirements. Whether it’s trenches, pits, downpipes, or dispersal points, we plan every element for safe and efficient water management.
When drainage issues can’t wait—like during storms or major overflows—we’re ready to act fast. Our emergency plumbing team can respond quickly to minimise damage and disruption.
We offer urgent repairs, full pipe replacements, and upgrades for ageing or damaged systems, helping you get back to normal without delay.
Whether it’s a quick clean-out or a full rework, you’ll get expert help from a licensed stormwater plumber who knows Brisbane’s conditions inside out.

We recommend checking and cleaning your stormwater drainage system at least once a year—ideally before Brisbane’s storm season. Leaves, dirt, and debris can build up fast, especially around pits and downpipes.
No—this isn’t allowed in Brisbane. Stormwater and sewer systems must remain separate to avoid overloading the sewer network during rain events. Improper connections can also lead to fines or property damage.
Occasional gurgling during heavy rain is normal, but ongoing noise may point to a blockage, venting issue, or trapped air in the pipes. It’s best to have it checked before it leads to bigger problems.
