- Compliance with stormwater regulations
- Peace of mind during Brisbane’s storm season
Leak Sealing and Preventative Repairs
If your downpipe is leaking at the joints, rusted in sections, or cracked, our team provides targeted leak sealing and repairs. We use durable sealants, replacement fittings, and high-quality materials to restore watertightness and prevent further deterioration. Common issues we resolve include:
- Leaks where downpipes join gutters or stormwater drains
- Rust holes in metal downpipes
- PVC cracks caused by UV exposure or impact
- Poorly installed joints that allow water to escape
Where leaks are too advanced for sealing, we provide partial or full replacements to ensure long-term protection.

- How often should I schedule downpipe maintenance?
We recommend at least once a year, preferably before storm season, to ensure your system is clear and functional.
