South-East Queensland is famous for its sweltering summer afternoons followed by intense, torrential downpours. Whether you are situated in Brisbane, on the Gold Coast, or up the Sunshine Coast, our subtropical storm systems can dump tens of millimetres of rain in less than an hour. While modern flat roofs—also known as low-slope roofs—are designed to manage significant volumes of rainwater, discovering standing water long after the clouds have cleared is a clear sign that
