What to do first in Linley Point

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 Linley Point.

  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 Lane Cove Council.

For a blocked drain in Linley Point, report every fixture that is backing up, any outdoor overflow and the safest known access point. This helps distinguish an urgent house-sewer clear from a stormwater, inspection or repair question.

Lane Cove Council says owners maintain private stormwater drains and property-drainage pipes, including parts of the private system that cross council land. Public council assets and Sydney Water wastewater require separate confirmation.

  • House-sewer clearing where several fixtures or an overflow point are affected

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

  • Safe outdoor access checks before clearing equipment is chosen

    The clearing equipment is matched to the drain, the blockage and the safe access available at the property.

  • CCTV when the 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.
