Two Decades of Local Drainage Experience

Trusted Stormwater Drainage Experts in Burbank

For 20 years, Burbank Plumbing & Drains has helped homeowners and business owners across Burbank and greater Brisbane keep their properties dry through heavy rain. Our licensed plumbers know the local clay soils and low-lying blocks around Burbank that often cause stormwater pits to surcharge and yards to pool after a downpour. We've cleared, relined and installed thousands of stormwater systems, from a simple pit unblocking to full drainage upgrades on larger commercial sites. That depth of hands-on experience means we diagnose the real cause of your drainage problem quickly, rather than guessing at it.

Ready to Stop the Flooding?

Call Burbank Plumbing & Drains for Stormwater Drainage in Burbank

When heavy rain hits Burbank, a blocked or undersized stormwater system can turn your driveway, courtyard or garage into a shallow pool within minutes. Burbank Plumbing & Drains attends properties throughout Burbank and Brisbane to clear stormwater pits, jet out silted pipes and repair collapsed lines before they cause structural damage. We work on residential blocks, retaining walls and commercial sites, using CCTV cameras and sonar tracking to pinpoint the exact cause of a blockage or break. Fixed, upfront pricing means you know the cost before we start, with no surprises once the job is done.

If your yard is pooling after every downpour, your stormwater pit is bubbling, or you've noticed water tracking under a door, don't wait for the next storm to make things worse. Our team can attend Burbank properties promptly, jet clear the line, camera inspect it and explain exactly what's happening underground. We'll also check your legal point of discharge to make sure runoff is leaving your property the way council requires. Call {{phone_number}} and we'll arrange a local plumber to sort your stormwater drainage.

Noticed Water Pooling After Rain?

Common Stormwater Drainage Problems in Burbank

Stormwater problems rarely announce themselves until a heavy downpour, when a driveway grate that's coped fine for months suddenly can't keep up. Fallen leaves, silt and tree roots gradually narrow stormwater pipes, and once a pit starts to surcharge, water backs up towards garages, alfresco areas and even under external doors. In older parts of Burbank, ageing earthenware pipes are also prone to cracking or collapsing, particularly where established trees have sent roots searching for moisture.

Left unresolved, poor stormwater drainage does more than create a soggy lawn. Pooling water can undermine retaining walls, erode garden beds and, over time, seep towards footings and slabs, leading to far costlier repairs than a simple drain clean. A charged, or pressurised, stormwater line that surges or blows fittings during heavy rain is another sign the system is undersized or poorly graded for the property.

If you've noticed a smell near a stormwater pit, water sitting on the driveway long after the rain has stopped, or a downpipe that seems to discharge nowhere useful, it's worth having a licensed plumber inspect the system before the next storm season arrives.

    Our Solution

    How Burbank Plumbing & Drains Fixes Stormwater Drainage in Burbank

    Burbank Plumbing & Drains takes a methodical approach to stormwater drainage across Burbank, starting with a proper diagnosis rather than guesswork. Using CCTV cameras, sonar tracking and drain mapping, we locate the exact point of blockage, collapse or root ingress before recommending any repair, so you only pay for the work your property genuinely needs.

    • High-pressure water jetting to clear silt, leaves and root intrusion from stormwater pipes and pits
    • CCTV camera inspections to locate collapsed sections, belly points and illegal connections
    • Trenchless pipe relining to restore cracked or root-affected lines without digging up driveways or gardens
    • New stormwater pit and grated drain installation at low points in yards, courtyards and driveways
    • Legal point of discharge checks to confirm runoff is directed where council requires, not onto neighbouring properties

    Whether you need an emergency stormwater plumber after a storm or a planned drainage upgrade for a renovation, our Burbank team carries the equipment to handle it in one visit, with every job backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Stormwater Drainage FAQs

      Stormwater drainage can be confusing, especially once council requirements and shared drainage lines come into it. Below, our Burbank plumbers answer the questions we're asked most often, drawing on our experience working on properties throughout Brisbane.

      Stormwater and sewer systems are entirely separate networks that should never be connected. Stormwater pipes carry rainwater and surface runoff from your roof, driveway and yard away from the property, usually to a kerb, easement or council drain. Sewer pipes carry wastewater from toilets, sinks and showers to the sewer main. If the two systems become cross connected, whether through a renovation, an old repair or a damaged pipe, it can cause overflows, unpleasant odours and breach council plumbing requirements. If you're unsure which system a pipe belongs to, it's worth having a licensed plumber check before any digging or renovation work goes ahead.
      Pooling water usually points to a stormwater system that can't keep pace with the volume of runoff reaching it. This can happen because pipes have narrowed with silt and leaf litter over time, a pit or grate has become blocked, or the original drainage was undersized for the property. Tree roots searching for moisture can also crack or collapse older pipes, restricting flow even though the surface grate still looks clear. A camera inspection is usually the quickest way to identify exactly where the restriction sits and what's causing it.
      As a general rule, property owners are responsible for the stormwater pipes and pits within their own boundary, while council maintains the drainage infrastructure in the street and public easements. Interallotment drains, which carry stormwater from one property through a neighbouring lot to reach the legal point of discharge, can complicate this, since maintenance responsibility may be shared between owners. If you're not sure where your responsibility ends and council's begins, a local plumber familiar with the area can usually clarify this by reviewing your property's drainage plans.
      Yes, roof water from gutters and downpipes should be directed into the stormwater system rather than left to discharge against the house or soak into garden beds near footings. Connecting downpipes correctly helps prevent water pooling against the slab, which over time can contribute to dampness or structural movement. If your downpipes currently empty onto the ground, or worse, into the sewer, it's worth having them properly connected to the stormwater line.
      A legal point of discharge is the specific location where a property is permitted to release its stormwater runoff, whether that's a kerb, council drain, easement or watercourse. Council sets these points so that runoff from one property doesn't create flooding or erosion problems for neighbouring land. If stormwater is being directed somewhere other than the approved discharge point, perhaps due to a previous renovation or an incorrect original installation, it can create compliance issues and disputes with neighbours. Confirming your legal point of discharge is a straightforward job for a licensed plumber familiar with local council requirements.
      Tree roots are one of the most common causes of stormwater blockages, particularly in established gardens with older earthenware or concrete pipes. Roots are drawn to the moisture and nutrients inside stormwater lines and can enter through joints, cracks or minor imperfections, gradually filling the pipe and restricting flow. Left unaddressed, root intrusion can eventually crack or collapse the pipe entirely. Depending on the extent of the damage, this is often resolved with root cutting and jetting, or in more established cases, pipe relining or replacement.
