- Multi-storey unit and common-line symptom triage
- House-drain clearing through a confirmed outdoor access point
- CCTV where repeat symptoms or ownership need evidence
- Private stormwater assessment before council reporting
The next step depends on the evidence
- 01 · Clear
Restore safe flow
Clear the obstruction using a method suited to the accessible line and stop the immediate backup or overflow.
- 02 · Inspect
Confirm the cause
Use CCTV when the blockage repeats, the condition is uncertain or the fault position must be documented.
- 03 · Repair
Fix a proven defect
Recommend repair or relining only when the inspection, condition and blockage history support it.
