Why Proper Drainage Matters in Townsville

Townsville's climate makes good drainage essential. Our region receives significant rainfall during the wet season (November to April), often in intense bursts that can overwhelm inadequate drainage systems. Poor drainage can lead to:

• Foundation damage and cracking
• Water pooling in yards and gardens
• Erosion of soil and landscaping
• Water ingress into homes and buildings
• Mould and mildew growth
• Damage to retaining walls
• Pest infestations (mosquitoes in standing water)
• Damage to underground services

French Drains

French drains are an effective solution for managing groundwater and surface water. They consist of a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel, installed in a trench to redirect water away from problem areas. We install French drains for:

• Basement and below-ground level water management
• Yard drainage in low-lying areas
• Retaining wall drainage
• Foundation protection
• Garden drainage

Soakwells

Soakwells (also called soakage pits or soakaway pits) are underground structures that allow stormwater to slowly drain into the surrounding soil. They're essential for managing roof runoff and yard drainage in Townsville. We install, repair, and replace soakwells of all sizes.

Council Compliance

Stormwater drainage work in Townsville must comply with Townsville City Council regulations. We ensure all drainage installations meet current codes and standards, including:

• Proper sizing of pipes and pits
• Correct fall and gradient
• Legal connection points to council infrastructure
• WSUD (Water Sensitive Urban Design) requirements where applicable
