Immediate drain help

What to do first in Curl Curl

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.

  1. 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 Curl Curl.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

For a blocked drain in Curl Curl, report whether the property is a house or unit, the fixtures or outdoor inlets with the problem, rainfall timing and safe access.

  • House and apartment blockage inspection

    List which fixtures and levels are backing up so one unit’s branch can be separated from a shared stack or main line.

  • Shared private-line access checks

    Confirm which lots or common areas have the problem so access can be arranged and the right person can approve the work.

  • Pit, grate and stormwater clearing

    Tell us when the pooling starts, which pit or grate fills and whether toilets or indoor drains are behaving normally.

What should be kept out of Curl Curl stormwater drains?

Council advises keeping leaf litter, garden clippings, soil, sediment, oils and other pollutants out of gutters and drains.

Who authorises unit common-area access?

The strata manager or owners corporation generally coordinates access where the drain that is backing up is on common property.

Does clearing show whether repair is needed?

Not always. Inspection after flow is restored may be needed to document a defect before repair is considered.
