Immediate drain help
What to do first in Riverview
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.
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 Riverview.
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.
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.

Getting a drain checked in Riverview
Tell us what is backing up, when it started and where the drain can be reached safely.
For a blocked drain in Riverview, report all drains or fixtures that are backing up, any outdoor overflow and the safest known access point. The immediate priority may be restoring flow, while problems that keep returning can justify inspection before a repair decision.
Lane Cove Council says owners maintain private stormwater drains and pipes. A public stormwater maintenance request should first confirm that the affected pit or drain is council infrastructure, while Sydney Water manages its wastewater network.
House-sewer clearing where several fixtures are slow or backing up
Note every wastewater fixture that is slow or backing up, including any overflow at the outside gully.
Safe access checks before jetting, cable or camera equipment is chosen
A camera inspection can show the pipe, its direction and where the problem sits when clearing alone does not explain the cause.
CCTV and locating where repeat symptoms need a documented cause
Once the drain is flowing, CCTV can show why the same pipe keeps blocking and where the problem sits.
