Drainage Solutions

Sewer drainage carries wastewater from toilets, sinks, and showers to the sewage treatment system. Stormwater drainage carries rainwater from roofs and surfaces to creeks and waterways. They are completely separate systems by law and must never be cross-connected.

Minor drainage work like connecting gutters to existing stormwater may not require approval, but new stormwater connections, significant changes to drainage patterns, and work near property boundaries typically require council approval. We handle the approval process and ensure all work complies with council requirements.

A french drain (also called an agricultural or agi drain) is a trench filled with gravel and perforated pipe that collects and redirects groundwater and surface water away from problem areas. It is one of the most effective solutions for waterlogged yards and rising damp issues.

Yes, sloped blocks present unique drainage challenges including concentrated runoff and erosion. We design drainage systems that manage water flow across the slope using catch drains, retaining wall drainage, stepped pits, and controlled discharge points.

A simple stormwater connection takes 1 day. A full subsoil drainage system around a house takes 2–3 days. Complex drainage projects for larger properties may take 3–5 days. We provide a detailed timeline with your quote.
