Immediate drain help
What to do first in Alexandria
Tell us what is backing up before choosing a service. It helps to know whether water is still rising, if rain changes the problem and where the drain can be reached.
01
Active overflow
Stop using the drains or fixtures that make the water rise, keep people and pets clear and call for blocked drain help in Alexandria.
02
Recurring or slow drains
Tell us which drains are slow and whether the same problem has been cleared before. CCTV may help if it keeps returning.
03
Shared or rain-related symptoms
Tell us if several homes or units have the problem, or if pooling appears only during rain.
Not sure who is responsible?
Who arranges the work depends on where the blockage is. Private drains are generally managed by the property owner, shared pipework may involve strata, Sydney Water manages its wastewater network and public stormwater questions for this address may involve City of Sydney Council.

Getting a drain checked in Alexandria
Tell us what is backing up, when it started and where the drain can be reached safely.
For a blocked drain in Alexandria, the first step is to identify whether the problem affects one fixture, a shared building line or a commercial service area. That distinction guides safe access, the right clearing approach and who needs to authorise the work.
Assessment of a blocked fixture against a possible shared building line
Confirm which lots or common areas have the problem so access can be arranged and the right person can approve the work.
Commercial or trade-waste drain access where work must be planned around operations
Confirm site access, the tenancies or common areas involved and the person who can authorise work before equipment is brought in.
CCTV inspection when the problem location is unclear or it is not yet clear who needs to arrange the work
A camera inspection can show the pipe, its direction and where the problem sits when clearing alone does not explain the cause.

View all drain questionsIs a blocked drain in an Alexandria unit common property?
It depends on where the blockage is and which lots the pipe serves. A branch serving only one lot may be managed by the property owner, while shared pipework may be common property. Confirm the drains or fixtures that are backing up and the problem location, then check the strata plan or manager before approving invasive work.
Can you work around an operating Alexandria business?
The job first needs to be planned around safe access, affected equipment, trade-waste arrangements and the hours available for disruptive work. Blocked Drains Sydney has recorded commercial drainage access work in Alexandria, but the approach and timing still depend on the individual site.
When is CCTV useful for an Alexandria blockage?
CCTV is useful after safe flow is restored when the blockage repeats, the drain or pipe causing the problem is uncertain, or the problem location needs to be documented for an owner, strata manager or other responsible party.
