Why Book a Downpipe Inspection?

Downpipes are vital for directing rainwater safely away from your roof and into compliant stormwater systems. If they become blocked, cracked, or disconnected, your property is at risk of flooding, dampness, and structural damage. Our inspections give you peace of mind that your system is storm-ready and performing at its best.

Regular downpipe inspection helps identify problems early and ensures your property complies with Queensland stormwater regulations. Common issues we uncover include:

 

  • Blocked downpipes due to leaves and debris
  • Rust, cracks, or holes in pipes
  • Loose or misaligned joints and fittings
  • Water leaking into walls or foundations
  • Downpipes discharging incorrectly onto the ground

Inspections are especially important before Brisbane’s storm season, when heavy rainfall puts your drainage system under maximum stress.

Our Downpipe Inspection Process

At LJM Plumbing, we use a structured process to ensure every downpipe inspection is thorough and accurate:

 

  1. Visual assessment of gutters, downpipes, and connections
  2. Water flow testing to check for leaks or blockages
  3. Inspection of stormwater connections and discharge points
  4. Identification of structural issues such as sagging or corrosion
  5. Recommendations for cleaning, repairs, or replacement

If needed, we can also carry out CCTV drain inspections to check underground connections for tree roots or damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should I book a downpipe inspection?

    At least once a year, ideally before storm season. Older homes or properties with many surrounding trees may require more frequent checks.

  • What are the signs I need a downpipe inspection?

    Overflowing gutters, damp walls, mould, or pooling water around the base of your home are all common warning signs.

  • Do you provide inspections for both residential and commercial properties?

    Yes. We service homes, apartment complexes, offices, retail buildings, and industrial sites.

  • Can you repair issues found during the inspection?

    Absolutely. We provide cleaning, resealing, repairs, and replacements as needed, often on the same day.

  • Do you check stormwater connections as part of the inspection?

    Yes. We ensure all downpipes discharge into compliant stormwater points and check underground connections for blockages.

  • Can you help prepare my property for storm season?

    Yes. A full downpipe inspection with gutter cleaning and stormwater checks ensures your property is ready for heavy rain.

    I've used LJM for years and am always very satisfied and grateful for their work. I've had a couple of jobs this year (thanks to Greg, Ethan, Jack, Andy and Danyelle) which are always scheduled promptly. The plumbers always turn up on time or early, are clear with all communication and advice, friendly, polite, and well mannered. The team is such a delight to deal with, and so rare to receive the standard of service LJM consistently delivers these days. Thank you!!

    I had Ethan from LJM Plumbing and Drainage come out today to fix a leaking shower, and I’m so impressed with the service. After a bad experience with another plumber who was going to rip me off, Ethan was a breath of fresh air. He was honest, professional, and very courteous. He fixed the problem quickly and explained everything along the way. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable plumbing.
