Immediate drain help
What to do first in Killara
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 Killara.
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 Ku-ring-gai Council.

Getting a drain checked in Killara
Tell us what is backing up, when it started and where the drain can be reached safely.
Council places private stormwater maintenance with the owner, including clearing pits and lines. Strata common property and Sydney Water wastewater have separate boundaries, while seepage and natural runoff are not automatically pipe blockages.
House and apartment access checks before clearing
List which fixtures and levels are backing up so one unit’s branch can be separated from a shared stack or main line.
Determining whether one lot or a common line is affected
Confirm which lots or common areas have the problem so access can be arranged and the right person can approve the work.
CCTV after a blockage returns or the cause remains uncertain
Once the drain is flowing, CCTV can show why the same pipe keeps blocking and where the problem sits.
