In a related announcement, Mountain shared that Josh Chafin, the company’s former CFO, has been appointed to Chief Operating Officer (COO).

Australia, 17th Jul 2026 – The Brisbane Plumbers, a respected provider of residential and commercial plumbing services, has announced an expansion of its blocked stormwater drain clearing services across Brisbane. The move addresses a recurring seasonal challenge across South East Queensland, where heavy rainfall regularly deposits leaves, silt and other debris into stormwater systems, causing overflows, pooling water and, in some cases, damage to gardens, driveways and building foundations.

Stormwater drains are designed to carry rainwater away from properties and into the broader council drainage network, keeping yards, car parks and building surrounds free of standing water during storms. When these drains become blocked, water can back up onto footpaths, driveways and lawns, creating slip hazards and, over time, contributing to structural issues if left unresolved. The Brisbane Plumbers reports that blocked stormwater drains are among the more frequent service requests received during Brisbane’s wetter months, particularly in areas with established trees or older drainage infrastructure.

To identify blockages, technicians use CCTV drain inspection equipment to examine the interior of stormwater pipes without the need for exploratory digging. This allows the exact location and cause of a blockage, whether root intrusion, silt build-up or collapsed piping, to be identified before clearing work begins. Once a blockage is located, high-pressure water jetting or mechanical clearing methods are used to restore normal water flow, an approach intended to minimise disruption to gardens, paving and other surface features while resolving the underlying issue.

The stormwater drain clearing service is offered alongside the company’s existing range of plumbing work, which includes blocked drain solutions for sewer and wastewater lines, pipe relining for burst or damaged pipes, and general plumbing repairs and maintenance. The Brisbane Plumbers operates across the greater Brisbane region and responds to both scheduled maintenance requests and urgent callouts related to drainage and flooding concerns.

“Blocked stormwater drains are something The Brisbane Plumbers sees regularly, especially after periods of sustained rain,” said Joseph, Director of The Brisbane Plumbers. “Property owners often don’t realise there’s a problem until water starts pooling near the house or along the driveway. Having the right equipment on hand to inspect and clear these drains quickly helps prevent further damage to a property.”

Blocked stormwater drains can result from a range of factors, including fallen leaves and garden debris, silt washed in during heavy rain, encroaching tree roots, and ageing or damaged pipework. In many cases, the problem is not visible from the surface until water begins to pool during or after rainfall. Regular inspection and clearing can reduce the likelihood of sudden blockages occurring during major storm events, when drainage systems are under the greatest strain. The Brisbane Plumbers advises property owners to arrange an inspection if water is observed pooling in yards, driveways or near building foundations following rain, as early identification of a blockage can reduce the extent of remedial work required.

“Brisbane’s rainfall patterns mean stormwater drainage will remain an ongoing consideration for property owners across the region,” said Joseph. “Continued investment in inspection technology and clearing equipment is expected to support faster response times as demand for these services continues.”

The Brisbane Plumbers is a plumbing services company based in Geebung, Queensland, servicing residential and commercial customers across the greater Brisbane area. The company provides a range of services including 24/7 emergency plumbing for burst pipes, gas leaks and water leaks, pipe relining, blocked drain solutions with CCTV inspection, hot water system diagnostics and repairs, gas fitting, and general plumbing maintenance. The expanded stormwater drain clearing service forms part of the company’s broader drainage offering for property owners across the region.

The company’s integrated design build construction capabilities further simplify project delivery by combining engineering, architectural planning, budgeting, procurement, construction, and installation within a single coordinated process. Design-build delivery enables project teams to identify challenges early, accelerate decision-making, minimize unnecessary costs, and shorten overall project timelines without compromising quality.

These capabilities allow organizations to expand, relocate, consolidate, or upgrade facilities while minimizing downtime and protecting operational productivity.

Long-term operational success depends on maintaining facilities well after construction is complete. As a trusted facility management company, MTLI Group provides comprehensive maintenance programs, inspections, repairs, asset management, modernization planning, and lifecycle support designed to maximize infrastructure performance. The company works closely with clients to improve equipment reliability, extend facility life, reduce maintenance costs, and support continuous operational improvement.
