Stormwater Drainage Central Coast | All About Quality Plumbing Services

Call Now

Heavy rain shouldn’t leave your yard flooded, your driveway underwater or water pooling around the side of your house. If it does, chances are your stormwater drainage isn’t doing its job—and that can lead to serious damage if left unchecked. At All About Quality Plumbing Services, we design and install stormwater solutions that are built to handle the conditions we get here on the Central Coast, including Lake Macquarie and Newcastle. If your system needs an upgrade or a complete redesign, we’ll find the best way to move water away from your home and keep your property safe.

We work with homeowners, builders and property managers to create custom drainage solutions that suit each site’s layout, elevation and surface materials. That includes everything from stormwater pits, grates and soak wells to underground pipework and connection points. We also repair damaged or collapsed stormwater systems and bring older drainage up to modern standards.

Call 0412 555 782 today to speak with a licensed expert that knows how to handle water the right way.

Stormwater doesn’t follow a script, so neither should your drainage. We design each system to match your property’s layout and drainage needs, whether you’re dealing with runoff from a steep driveway, excess roof water or a low-lying backyard that never seems to dry out. Our systems are designed to last, not just survive the next storm—that's why when you work with us, you're getting professionals who care about keeping your foundations safe and your outdoor areas usable, no matter the season.

We’re experienced with both new drainage installations and fixing existing systems that no longer cope with heavy rainfall. From installing new pits and pipework to reconnecting outlets or repairing cracked lines, we’ll make sure your system works as it should and keep you informed at every step so you know exactly what’s happening.

Why is stormwater drainage important for my home?
Stormwater drainage is essential for directing rainwater away from your property to prevent flooding, water pooling and long-term damage to your home’s structure. Without proper drainage, water can collect around the base of your house, leading to foundation cracks, rising damp or even internal water damage. It can also damage driveways, landscaping and retaining walls. A good system ensures water flows to appropriate discharge points and reduces the risk of costly repairs down the track.
How do I know if my stormwater system isn’t working properly?
Some of the most common signs include water pooling in your yard after rain, overflowing gutters or downpipes, water running back toward the house and soggy patches that stay wet for days. You may also notice water backing up during storms or signs of erosion along garden beds and footpaths. If you’re seeing any of these signs, it could mean your stormwater system is blocked, damaged or not properly designed for your property.
Do I need council approval for stormwater drainage work?
In many cases, yes—especially for new builds, major drainage installations or if you’re redirecting water flow to the street or neighbouring property. Each council has its own set of guidelines, but in general, any significant changes to stormwater drainage must meet local and national standards. Licensed plumbers are familiar with these requirements and can ensure the work is compliant. It’s always best to check before starting any drainage project.
