FAQ

Most frequently asked questions

Do you undertake downpipe and box gutter design?

No, we do not provide these services. A building hydraulics engineer should be able to assist you with this.

Are you a hydrologist that can assist with my insurance claim?

Yes, we are able to assist with flood and stormwater reports for insurance claims.

My property is very steep and I receive a lot of runoff from my rear neighbours' property and from my backyard. Can you attend my property to inspect the issue and design a solution to fix the localised flooding issue?

It is recommended that you first contact a plumber or builder. Usually these professionals can provide you with an adequate solution to resolve the issue.

If a plumber or a builder is unable to assist then it is recommended you contact our office to see if we can assist.

My property is not located within the Council’s mapped flood overlay but the Council have asked me to engage a hydraulic engineer to assess the flood water affecting my proposed building works. Do I need to comply and can you assist?

Each individual property is different. It would be best to contact our office so we can assess the potential flooding problems on the property and formulate an acceptable response to Council.

My neighbour's stormwater discharges onto my land and is causing damage to my property. Are you an engineer that can assist with my dispute?

Yes, we can assist. It would be best to contact our office so we can discuss your concerns.

Do you assess sewer design?

No, we do not provide that service. A civil engineer (or civil designer) should be able to assist with that service.

How much does your services cost?

It would be best to call or email us to discuss your project needs. Usually, we can provide a fee proposal within 1 business day.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family needed some urgent advice in relation to future possible flood levels and storm water issues that could affect our property in the future, as we wish to build another dwelling on the property and needed council permission.
Out time range was short due to various reasons and instead of waiting out the usual time frames that experts are quoting these days due to the number of projects they have on the go, Steve and Anthony were able to assist us within a few days.    We thank you for that guys;  it’s taken a lot of pressure off us from the build point of view.
As I understand the work that Storm Water Consulting do they also offer services that deal with non-flood reports such as flood risk management and insurance reports as well as a plethora of other services, none of which we required fortunately.
I would highly recommend this business.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I engaged Storm Water Consulting to perform an Overland Flow assessment of my property in Wooloowin. I was very pleased with the communication, professionalism, promptness and willingness to try and work with me that Pavle did to attempt to achieve the desired outcome.  While the result was not as I had hoped, it was due to QLD Government flood maps and nothing that Pavle or Storm Water Consulting could do to change that.

If you have a difficult site to work with I can thoroughly recommend Pavle and Storm Water Consulting to try their best within the rules, regulations and laws.

Their reports are detailed, precise, and are exactly want Council need to approve building works in areas that have flood and overland flow issues.
I highly recommend Storm Water Consulting for all of your flood survey requirements.
