Blocked drain decisions in Cremorne Point

Responsibility follows the served pipe and confirmed fault position. A branch serving one lot differs from a common drain, a private stormwater easement and a fault inside Sydney Water’s wastewater network.
- Checking whether one lot or a common line is affected
- Coordinating access to shared service areas
- CCTV and locating where the fault position affects ownership
- Safe clearing before a repair decision is made
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 Cremorne Point
Is a blockage inside one Cremorne Point unit always private?
No. The fault may be in a branch serving one lot or in a shared pipe. The fixtures and lots affected and the fault position need to be established.
Should strata authorise CCTV?
Strata or building management should be involved when common property must be accessed or inspected. The purpose and deliverable of the inspection should be agreed first.
Can nearby project proof establish the cause here?
No. Nearby proof shows recorded work at another property only. The cause at Cremorne Point must be established from the actual line and evidence.
