Outdoor plumbing is easy to overlook until a garden tap fails, a yard floods after heavy rain, or water sits against the house slab. Across Ipswich and Brisbane, intense storms make storm water drainage a real property-protection issue — not just a landscaping nicety.
McKay's repairs outdoor taps and pipework and installs or repairs storm water drainage so water moves away from your home as intended.
Outdoor taps and garden lines
Leaking outdoor taps waste water and can undermine paths or garden beds. New taps need solid fixing, quality valves and sensible placement for hoses and irrigation. Damaged poly or copper lines in the yard should be repaired properly rather than clamped as a long-term fix.
Why storm water matters
When downpipes disconnect, pits block, or pipes collapse, runoff pools where it should not. Water against the house increases damp risk and can affect landscaping, paving and subfloor areas. Good drainage — pipes, pits, grades and connections — protects the building.
Blocked storm water drains often show up during the first big dump of the season. Clearing and repairing those lines before the wetter months reduces stress when the weather turns.
Practical property tips
- Keep leaves and mulch out of grated pits.
- Check downpipe connections after storms.
- Do not pave over pits without access.
- Investigate damp edges of the house early.
