Storm Water Drainage on the Sunshine Coast

Have a plumbing emergency?

Heavy rain can expose weak points around a property fast, especially when gutters overflow, yards pool or water tracks toward foundations. At Oxplumb, we design, repair and maintain storm water drainage systems for homes and properties across the Sunshine Coast, helping manage runoff safely during both sudden downpours and long wet periods.

Effective storm water management keeps surface water moving away from buildings, paths and landscaping before it causes damage. Storm water drainage covers everything from roof runoff and downpipes through to underground drains, pits and discharge points.

Problems often show up as pooling water, soggy lawns, erosion, overflowing grates or damp areas near slabs and retaining walls. These issues may come from blocked lines, damaged pipes, incorrect fall or systems that were never sized for current conditions.

A proper approach looks at how water flows across the block, where it collects and how it exits the property. The goal is to direct water away efficiently, reduce pressure on structures and protect surrounding surfaces.

Storm water systems need to cope with local conditions, not ideal ones. That means allowing for heavy rainfall, leaf litter, soil movement and changes around the property over time.

Repairs may involve clearing or replacing blocked lines, adding or relocating pits, adjusting fall or upgrading pipe sizes to handle increased runoff. In some cases, poor drainage is linked to landscaping changes or extensions that alter how water moves across the site.

Regular checks help prevent small issues from turning into erosion, flooding or structural problems. Addressing drainage early can protect foundations, driveways and garden beds while improving usability during wet weather.

Well-planned storm water drainage also reduces maintenance and keeps outdoor areas safer and cleaner year-round. Explore related plumbing services to see how drainage fits into overall property care, then get in touch to organise the right solution.
