- Apartment or managed-site access checks
- CCTV for recurring restrictions
- Private and public network referral
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.

Blocked drain FAQs for Belrose
What should a managed Belrose property provide?
Provide the affected area or amenities, operating constraints, available drainage plans and the contact authorised to give access.
Can a unit symptom share a cause with neighbouring lots?
Yes. Compare the affected fixtures and lots so a branch restriction can be separated from a common line.
Does Council maintain private drains?
Routine private property drainage remains distinct from Council’s public stormwater assets. The fault position decides the right pathway.
