Professional Stormwater & Drainage Solutions
MJP Plumbing provides professional stormwater solutions across the Sunshine Coast, helping homeowners, builders, engineers, businesses and property owners manage drainage issues caused by heavier rainfall, site changes, increased hard surfaces and ageing stormwater systems.
Stormwater problems can quickly lead to flooding, pooling water, erosion, water ingress, property damage and disputes with neighbouring properties. Our team delivers practical, compliant and site-specific drainage solutions designed to protect your property and improve long-term stormwater performance.
Whether you are dealing with repeated flooding, poor drainage, a renovation, a subdivision, a commercial site upgrade or stormwater runoff affecting surrounding properties, MJP Plumbing can assess the issue and recommend a solution tailored to your site.
When Existing Stormwater Systems Are No Longer Enough
Many stormwater systems were designed for how a property originally functioned — not how it is used today.
Extensions, new roofs, patios, sheds, garages, driveways, paved areas, pools, landscaping, car parks and other hard surfaces can significantly change how water moves across a site. These changes can increase runoff volume, alter drainage paths and place extra pressure on older stormwater systems.
Heavier rainfall events can also expose drainage systems that no longer have the capacity to perform properly.
What may have worked years ago can now contribute to:
- flooding around homes or buildings
- water pooling in yards, driveways or hardstand areas
- overflow from pits, gutters or downpipes
- water ingress into garages or structures
- erosion and surface damage
- nuisance runoff affecting neighbouring properties
- non-compliance with council or approved drainage requirements
A practical stormwater solution starts with understanding the site, identifying the cause of the issue and designing drainage that suits the current property layout and conditions.

Why Stormwater Compliance Matters
Stormwater problems are not just inconvenient — they can create structural, financial, legal and operational risks.
Poorly managed stormwater can lead to:
- building and garage flooding
- water ingress into structures
- erosion and surface damage
- damage to landscaping, paths and driveways
- nuisance runoff onto neighbouring properties
- disputes over drainage responsibility
- non-compliance with approved plans or council requirements
- expensive rectification works later on
When runoff from one property impacts another, the property owner may be responsible for resolving the issue. This is why stormwater management often requires careful planning, proper levels, suitable drainage capacity and coordination with builders, engineers, certifiers or council where needed.
MJP Plumbing focuses on practical stormwater solutions that help protect your property, reduce risk and support compliance with relevant requirements.
Our Stormwater Solution Process
Site Assessment
We begin by reviewing the site, current drainage layout and how water moves across the property. This includes identifying where water is collecting, where the existing system may be underperforming and what site changes may be contributing to the issue.
Compliance & Coordination
Some stormwater projects require coordination with builders, hydraulic or civil engineers, certifiers, designers, surveyors, councils or other relevant authorities. Where required, we work with the appropriate parties to help ensure the solution aligns with approved plans and site requirements.
Fit-for-Purpose Drainage Design
Every property is different. We provide stormwater solutions based on the site layout, levels, outfalls, existing infrastructure, surface water flow, access constraints and compliance requirements.
Careful Installation
Stormwater work can involve excavation, underground services, finished surfaces, tight access and coordination with other trades. MJP Plumbing completes stormwater installations carefully, with clear communication and a strong focus on minimising disruption wherever possible.

MJP Plumbing provides residential stormwater solutions for Sunshine Coast homeowners dealing with drainage problems around homes, gardens, driveways, garages, sheds, pools and outdoor living areas.

Yes. MJP Plumbing provides stormwater solutions for renovations, extensions, new roofs, patios, sheds, driveways, pools and other property changes that affect how water moves across the site.
Yes. We install stormwater pits, drainage pipes, downpipe connections and surface water drainage solutions for residential and commercial properties across the Sunshine Coast.
Often, yes. Commercial sites may have larger roof areas, car parks, hardstand surfaces and higher drainage requirements, so they often need more robust stormwater and drainage systems.
