When the Brisbane sky turns dark and the first clap of thunder rolls through, the last thing you want is water backing up through your drains.
At Turbo Plumbing Solutions, we see it every summer, storms hit hard, and unprepared drains hit harder.
Before the next downpour, here’s how to make sure your plumbing system is ready to handle Brisbane’s wild summer weather.
1. Stormwater Drains Get Overwhelmed – Fast
Heavy rain can turn a small blockage into a backyard flood.
Leaves, silt, and debris from your roof or garden wash straight into stormwater lines — and if your drains are already sluggish, that water has nowhere to go.
We recently cleared a system in Warner where a simple leaf clog caused stormwater to back up under the patio and flood the garage. One quick pre-summer inspection could’ve saved thousands in damage.
2. Tree Roots Love Wet Weather
Tree roots don’t stop growing just because it’s raining – in fact, they grow faster.
We often find roots breaking into older pipes around Albany Creek, Eatons Hill, and Brendale, where large trees sit over aging drainage lines.
A CCTV drain inspection shows exactly where those roots are creeping in, so we can jet them out before they cause a full collapse.
3. Cracked or Misaligned Pipes Can’t Handle Pressure
Brisbane’s clay and PVC pipes expand and shift with heat and rain.
Cracks that seem small now can open wide during a storm, letting stormwater infiltrate your sewer or push wastewater back up into your home.
Our CCTV camera identifies every weak spot – and our Hydrojetter clears the way so repairs can be done before disaster strikes.
