- Private house-drain clearing
- Rain-related stormwater checks
- CCTV for recurrence
- Council or Sydney Water referral after asset identification
The next step depends on the evidence
- 01 · Clear
Restore safe flow
Clear the obstruction using a method suited to the accessible line and stop the immediate backup or overflow.
- 02 · Inspect
Confirm the cause
Use CCTV when the blockage repeats, the condition is uncertain or the fault position must be documented.
- 03 · Repair
Fix a proven defect
Recommend repair or relining only when the inspection, condition and blockage history support it.

Blocked drain FAQs for Melonba
Why does rainfall timing matter in Melonba?
It helps separate fixture-use wastewater symptoms from roofwater, private stormwater and wider surface runoff.
Can a plumber determine Council responsibility?
A plumber can document the private pipe and fault position. Council decides reports about its assets or qualifying cross-boundary runoff.
What is not proven by a suburb dwelling statistic?
It does not prove the property’s pipe material, age, route, access or current condition. Those require site evidence.
