The Tweed and southern Gold Coast get heavy summer downpours. If stormwater can't get away from your home, it can pool against foundations, flood yards or find its way inside.
A4plumbing inspects and repairs stormwater pipes, downpipe connections, pits and yard drainage, and can advise on improvements for problem areas — particularly on sloping blocks around Terranora and Banora Point.
Common problems we help with
- Blocked or broken stormwater pipes
- Downpipes not connected or discharging against the house
- Water pooling in yards or under houses
- Silted or blocked stormwater pits
- Tree root intrusion

Questions customers ask
Is stormwater connected to the sewer?
No — stormwater and sewer must be kept separate. Connecting stormwater to sewer is not permitted.
