The next step depends on the evidence

Restore safe flow
Clear the obstruction using a method suited to the accessible line and stop the immediate backup or overflow.
- 02 · Inspect

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 Prospect
What should a Prospect unit resident report?
Report the unit and level, fixtures affected, symptoms in other lots, overflow and authorised common-access contact.
Is a rain-only issue necessarily wastewater?
No. Check roofwater, private stormwater and surface runoff before treating it as a sewer blockage.
What if the pipe fault sits beyond private property?
Document the likely position and refer it to the responsible authority rather than treating it as a private repair.
