Trusted Local Experience

20 Years Keeping Inala Properties Dry

For two decades, Inala Plumbing & Drains has been the trusted stormwater plumber for homes and businesses across Inala and greater Brisbane. We understand how quickly a downpour can overwhelm an ageing stormwater pit or a pipe clogged with silt and tree roots, leaving driveways, courtyards and garages under water. Our licensed plumbers pair hands-on experience with CCTV inspection technology and high-pressure jetting equipment to diagnose the real cause of yard flooding, rather than treating only the symptoms. Whether you need a blocked stormwater drain cleared in a hurry or a full stormwater pit installation designed to meet council requirements, our team has worked across Inala's mix of older and newer properties.

Inala's Stormwater Drainage Specialists

Inala Plumbing & Drains provides complete stormwater drainage services across Inala and the wider Brisbane area, from clearing a blocked stormwater drain to installing new pits, relining damaged pipework, repairing kerb outlets and interallotment drains, and correcting illegal stormwater-to-sewer connections. We work on residential blocks, unit complexes and commercial sites, tackling everything from a bubbling stormwater pit after rain to a collapsed line running under a driveway. Every job starts with a proper inspection, often using CCTV cameras, so we can pinpoint the exact cause of your drainage issue before recommending a fix.

Living in Inala means dealing with heavy summer storms that can quickly expose weak points in an ageing stormwater system. If water is pooling in your yard, tracking under doors or backing up through pits after rain, don't wait for the problem to worsen. Call 0420 140 302 today and speak with a local plumber who can get your stormwater system flowing properly again.

Common Stormwater Problems

Is Your Inala Property Struggling With Stormwater?

A properly functioning stormwater system carries roof and surface water away from your home's footings and out to the legal point of discharge. When pipes crack, silt up or fill with tree roots, that water has nowhere to go except back into your yard, under your slab or, in the worst cases, into the sewer line. Many Inala homeowners only discover a problem once a storm hits and water starts pooling against the house or flooding a garage.

Left unaddressed, poor stormwater drainage can undermine retaining walls, saturate garden beds, crack paving and even contribute to structural movement over time. A charged or pressurised line that surges during heavy rain can blow fittings apart underground, while a collapsed pipe beneath a driveway might only reveal itself as a soft, sunken patch. In severe cases, a temporary sump pump may be needed simply to get a property through a storm safely. Illegal stormwater-to-sewer connections are another hidden issue, often only picked up during a council compliance check or a CCTV inspection.

If you're noticing water pooling on the driveway, a smell coming from a stormwater pit, or your yard staying wet for days after the rain has stopped, it's worth having a licensed plumber take a proper look before the damage spreads.

    How Inala Plumbing & Drains Fixes Stormwater Drainage in Inala

    Inala Plumbing & Drains takes a methodical approach to every stormwater job, starting with a CCTV inspection to map the line and locate the exact cause of blockage, flooding or damage. From there, we recommend the most practical fix for your Inala property rather than defaulting to the most expensive option.

    • High-pressure water jetting and hydro jetting to clear silt, leaves and root ingress from stormwater pipes and pits
    • Trenchless, no-dig pipe relining to restore cracked or root-invaded stormwater lines under driveways and gardens
    • Stormwater pit, ACO drain, box drain and channel drain installation at low points to intercept surface water before it reaches the house
    • Ag drain and strip drain installation to dry out persistently wet yards, retaining walls and paved areas
    • Downpipe and roof water connections carried out correctly to the legal point of discharge
    • Charged line diagnosis and repair for pressurised systems that surge or leak during heavy rain

    Every repair or installation is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee, and we provide upfront fixed pricing before any work begins, so you know exactly what's involved. Our tidy tradie approach also means we leave your Inala property as clean as we found it, whatever the scope of the job.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Stormwater Drainage FAQs

      Stormwater drainage can be confusing, especially when working out what falls to council and what's the property owner's responsibility. Here are some of the questions we're asked most often by Inala home and business owners, answered by our experienced team.

      Stormwater drainage carries rainwater and surface runoff from roofs, driveways and yards away from your property to an approved discharge point, such as a kerb, council pit or interallotment drain. Sewer drainage carries wastewater from toilets, sinks and other fixtures to the sewer main. These two systems must remain completely separate, as stormwater should never enter the sewer and wastewater should never be directed into a stormwater line. Cross connections between the two can cause overflows, unpleasant odours and council compliance issues.
      Pooling water is usually a sign that stormwater isn't reaching its legal point of discharge properly. This can happen when a pipe has collapsed, become blocked with silt or roots, or when the ground has settled and changed the natural fall of the yard. Sometimes an older property simply wasn't fitted with enough pits or drainage capacity to cope with heavier rainfall. A proper inspection can identify exactly where the water should be going and why it isn't getting there.
      Yes, tree roots are one of the most common causes of stormwater blockages we come across. Roots are naturally drawn to the moisture inside a pipe and will exploit even the smallest crack or joint to get in. Once inside, they grow quickly and can restrict flow or crack the pipe further as they expand. Regular root cutting or, in more serious cases, relining or replacing the affected section, can resolve the issue for good.
      In many cases, stormwater work needs to comply with local council requirements, particularly around where and how water is discharged from your property. Rules can vary depending on your specific site and its legal point of discharge, so it's important to have a licensed plumber assess the job properly rather than guessing. We can advise on what applies to your property and carry out the work in line with the relevant regulations.
      An illegal or accidental cross connection often isn't obvious until something goes wrong, such as sewage surfacing during heavy rain or an unexplained odour near a stormwater pit. In other cases, it's picked up during a CCTV inspection or a routine council check. If you notice unusual smells, gurgling or overflows during rain, it's worth having the system camera-inspected to rule out a cross connection before it causes a bigger problem.
      An overflowing pit usually points to a blockage or a system that's undersized for the volume of water arriving during a storm. In the short term, clearing any visible debris from the grate can help, but if the overflow keeps happening, it's best to have the line properly inspected rather than repeatedly clearing the surface. Persistent overflowing can point to a deeper blockage, a collapsed section of pipe, an overflow relief gully issue, or a drainage system that needs upgrading altogether.
