Immediate drain help
What to do first in Avalon Beach
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 Avalon Beach.
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 Northern Beaches Council.
