Frequently asked questions.

Got questions? We’ve got answers! In this section, we address the most common inquiries

How do I know if I need surface drainage installed?

If you see standing water after rain, have flooding under the house, or water flowing toward your home or shed, you likely need improved drainage. We can inspect your site and recommend the most effective solution—whether it’s strip drains, pits, or subsoil lines.

Do you work with builders or landscapers?

Yes—we often work alongside builders, concreters, landscapers and earthworks contractors to install drainage during construction or renovation. We can quote off plans or assess onsite and coordinate with your project schedule.

What’s the difference between stormwater and surface water drainage?

Stormwater generally refers to water from your roof and gutters, while surface water is rain runoff that pools or flows across the ground. We manage both, ensuring water is safely redirected away from structures and into compliant stormwater systems.
