Immediate drain help

What to do first in Rhodes

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 Rhodes.

  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 Canada Bay Council.

For a blocked drain in Rhodes, report the building, unit and level, drains or fixtures that are backing up above or below, any overflow and the contact who can authorise access to common service areas.

A private branch, shared stack, common drain, private stormwater connection, council asset and Sydney Water network pipe may be managed by different owners or authorities. Multi-level symptom mapping should come first.

  • High-rise symptom mapping across units and levels

    List which fixtures and levels are backing up so one unit’s branch can be separated from a shared stack or main line.

  • Authorised common-service access

    Confirm site access, the tenancies or common areas involved and the person who can authorise work before equipment is brought in.

  • 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.
