How we fix it

1

Assess

Walk the property, identify problem areas, measure fall and flow, check where water is coming from and where it needs to go. Look for existing drainage and discharge options.

2

Diagnose

Explain drainage solutions — connection to street stormwater, absorption pit, or surface drainage. Provide upfront pricing, discuss council requirements if needed, show you the plan.

3

Fix

Excavate trenches, lay pipes with correct fall, install pits and grates, connect to outlet or absorption system. Work cleanly and efficiently, minimize disruption to your property.

4

Test and prevention advice

Run water test to verify drainage working, backfill trenches, restore surface (turf or paving), clean up site. Explain maintenance requirements and how to keep the system flowing.

Common outcomes
