Storms, tree roots and stormwater in Brisbane

Brisbane's sub-tropical storms can overwhelm gutters, downpipes and stormwater drains in minutes, and fast-growing fig and other tree roots find their way into old sewer lines. After heavy rain, a plumber can check stormwater connections, clear roof drainage and camera the sewer if a drain keeps backing up. Ask the plumber to show you the problem on camera before anything is dug.

Common questions

Why does my Brisbane drain back up after heavy rain?
Stormwater and sewer lines can be overloaded, blocked by roots or silt, or connected where they should not be. A plumber can inspect with a camera and tell you which one it is.
Who do I call for a blocked drain or toilet?
A plumber. Clearing drains is everyday plumbing work; if it keeps coming back, ask about a drain camera inspection to find the cause.
Should I repair or replace my hot water system?
It depends on its age and what failed. Send the plumber a photo of the unit and its label so they can tell you before coming out.
