Immediate drain help
What to do first in Lane Cove North
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 Lane Cove North.
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 Lane Cove Council and Willoughby City Council.

For a blocked drain in Lane Cove North, report the building or property type, fixtures or lots with the problem and who can provide service access. In a unit building, the immediate clearing need and common-property authorisation may need to be handled together.
Lane Cove North spans Lane Cove and Willoughby council areas. Confirm the council for a public stormwater asset. Private drainage remains with the relevant owner, strata responsibility depends on the pipe served, and Sydney Water handles confirmed problems in its wastewater network.
Building-manager assessment before common service access
Confirm site access, the tenancies or common areas involved and the person who can authorise work before equipment is brought in.
Determining whether one lot or a shared 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 when a blockage keeps returning or the pipe involved is unclear
Once the drain is flowing, CCTV can show why the same pipe keeps blocking and where the problem sits.
