Immediate drain help
What to do first in Croydon
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 Croydon.
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 Burwood Council and Inner West Council.

Getting a drain checked in Croydon
Tell us what is backing up, when it started and where the drain can be reached safely.
For a blocked drain in Croydon, report the property type, fixtures or lots with the problem, whether the issue is recurring and which private or common access points are available.
Drain responsibility turns on the served pipe and the problem location, not the suburb label. Private branches, common lines, private stormwater, council drainage and Sydney Water wastewater must be separated.
Blocked drains in houses and townhouses
Tell us when the pooling starts, which pit or grate fills and whether toilets or indoor drains are behaving normally.
Unit and shared drain inspection
List which fixtures and levels are backing up so one unit’s branch can be separated from a shared stack or main line.
CCTV for problems that keep returning or unclear pipe position
Once the drain is flowing, CCTV can show why the same pipe keeps blocking and where the problem sits.
