What to do first in Oatlands

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 Oatlands.

  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 City of Parramatta Council.

The line served and the problem location distinguish private, shared, council and Sydney Water responsibilities.

  • Blocked drains in houses and townhouses

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

  • Shared private-line checks

    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.
