Professional French Drain Repair Services

A French drain is designed to redirect groundwater and stormwater away from vulnerable areas such as retaining walls, basements, and foundations. When a system becomes blocked, collapsed, or improperly installed, it can lead to rising damp, mould, and costly damage. Our licensed plumbers diagnose the issue and carry out precise repairs to restore full function.

Our team provides comprehensive French drain repair solutions using advanced equipment and in-house expertise. Services include:

  • CCTV inspections to identify blockages, cracks, or collapsed sections
  • High-pressure jetting to clear debris, silt, or root intrusion
  • Relining or replacement of damaged drain sections
  • Re-grading and reinstallation where drains were incorrectly installed
  • Integration with stormwater systems for improved performance

We ensure every repair complies with Queensland standards and is designed for long-term efficiency.

Signs You Need French Drain Repairs

If your French drain is no longer performing properly, you may notice:

 

  • Pooling water around retaining walls, lawns, or foundations
  • Damp patches inside basements or subfloors
  • Overflow or backflow during heavy rain
  • Visible erosion or subsidence near the drain area
  • Mould or mildew forming inside your property

If left untreated, these issues can escalate into costly structural damage, which is why timely French drain repair is essential.

    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.
