What to do first in Glenorie

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 Glenorie.

  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 The Hills Shire Council and Hornsby Shire Council.

For a blocked drain in Glenorie, provide the exact address, fixture or pit with the problem, whether rain changes the problem and safe access to the drain. The locality spans a council boundary and cannot be treated as one public-drainage contact.

Owners maintain private drainage, while the address identifies The Hills Shire or Hornsby Shire for applicable public stormwater. Sydney Water wastewater remains managed separately.

  • Checking property and drain access

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

  • House wastewater-line clearing where access is appropriate

    Note every wastewater fixture that is slow or backing up, including any overflow at the outside gully.

  • Private stormwater assessment after rain-linked symptoms

    Start with the drain that is backing up, how quickly it changed and the nearest safe access point.
