Blocked Stormwater Drain Services in Brisbane
When stormwater drains get clogged, they stop doing their job and that can quickly lead to flooding, erosion, and costly property damage. At Weekend Plumbing Co., we specialise in diagnosing and clearing blocked stormwater drains across Brisbane and Moreton Bay. Whether it’s a stubborn blockage or a recurring drainage issue, our licensed Brisbane plumbers will get your stormwater system flowing freely again.
Why Stormwater Drainage Matters
Your property’s stormwater system plays a vital role in directing rainwater away from your roof, gutters, driveway, and garden areas. When everything is working as it should, water flows quickly from hard surfaces into underground drainage and out to a safe discharge point. But if even one part of the system gets blocked, that water has nowhere to go and your property could flood.
Common causes of a blocked stormwater drain in Brisbane include:
- Garden waste and leaf buildup
- Mud, silt, or sediment clogs
- Intrusive tree roots
- Crushed or collapsed pipework
- Poor initial installation or aging infrastructure
Understanding the importance of stormwater systems is key to maintaining the safety and integrity of your property. A blocked stormwater drain can quickly escalate into a much larger issue if not dealt with promptly. The risks are not limited to flooding; blocked drains can cause extensive damage to your foundation, landscape, and potentially create health hazards due to stagnant water.
A Healthy Stormwater System Starts with Maintenance
Don’t wait until water is bubbling up from your grates or pooling near your home’s foundations. At Weekend Plumbing Co., we offer preventative maintenance and responsive repairs to keep your stormwater and drainage systems working their best, even during Queensland’s wettest months.
Key Components of a Stormwater Drainage System
- Stormwater Pits: Collect runoff water from ground surfaces, directing it toward the drainage system.
- Downpipes: Channel rainwater from roof gutters into the drain network, preventing overflow.
- Underground Pipes: Carry stormwater safely off-site or to council-managed systems for proper disposal.
Every one of these components needs to be clear and functioning to avoid flooding, erosion, or structural damage. With regular maintenance, you can ensure that your stormwater system remains operational and can handle the flow of water, especially during Queensland’s heavy rains. Our team is here to ensure every element of your system is working seamlessly to protect your property.
Preventing Future Blockages
Proactive care is the best way to avoid the hassle of a blocked stormwater drain. By maintaining your stormwater system, you can reduce the likelihood of costly repairs and ensure your home is safe during the wet season. Here’s how our team can help prevent blockages before they happen:
CCTV Drain Inspections
Our team uses high-definition drain cameras to inspect stormwater pipes and pinpoint blockages. This lets us see exactly where the problem lies, whether it’s tree roots, collapsed sections, or years of accumulated sediment without digging up your property unnecessarily. CCTV technology provides a fast and accurate method for assessing the condition of your stormwater system, allowing us to plan the best course of action with minimal disruption to your property.
High-Pressure Water Jetting
Forget harsh chemicals. We use powerful water jetters to blast away blockages and restore free-flowing drains. This method is fast, effective, and gentle on your pipes. Water jetting uses high-pressure streams of water to clear out debris and clean the walls of your pipes, ensuring that your stormwater system can handle water flow during storms without getting clogged again soon after. It’s a safe, eco-friendly, and efficient solution for stubborn blockages.
Gutter and Roof Maintenance
Keeping gutters free of leaves and debris stops clogs before they form. Gutter guards help, but they also need cleaning to stay effective. We recommend a roof and gutter check at least twice a year especially before storm season. By maintaining your gutters and downpipes, you can significantly reduce the risk of blockages in your stormwater system. Our team is equipped to clean gutters, clear downpipes, and ensure your roof drainage is working at its best before the heavy rains hit.

I had Tom from Weekend Plumbing Co. come out this morning, and I couldn’t be happier. From the moment I booked the appointment, the communication was smooth and friendly. Tom arrived on time, was professional, and took the time to explain what needed to be done before getting started. The quality of the work was excellent — efficient, thorough, and tidy. I would definitely recommend Weekend Plumbing Co. to anyone looking for reliable and top-notch plumbing service!

Tom came out to assess our blocked kitchen drains, he went above and beyond to ensure the sink was draining before he left. Even though we couldn’t afford the whole works required today, the quote was reasonable but out of my budget this week - he went to work with his plunger and made sure the sink was draining to see us through the next couple of weeks until we book in for repairs and maintenance. Really polite and punctual, highly recommend this business, especially grateful for Tom’s help today!
