Immediate drain help
What to do first in Rushcutters Bay
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 Rushcutters Bay.
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 City of Sydney Council.

Getting a drain checked in Rushcutters Bay
Tell us what is backing up, when it started and where the drain can be reached safely.
For a blocked drain in Rushcutters Bay, report the building, unit and level, fixtures that are backing up in other lots and the person who can authorise access to shared services.
A shared private pipe is not automatically a Sydney Water main. The lots served, strata records, problem location and network boundary should be identified before responsibility is allocated.
Multi-unit symptom and level mapping
List which fixtures and levels are backing up so one unit’s branch can be separated from a shared stack or main line.
Authorised shared drain access
Confirm which lots or common areas have the problem so access can be arranged and the right person can approve the work.
CCTV where a shared pipe boundary is uncertain
A camera inspection can show the pipe, its direction and where the problem sits when clearing alone does not explain the cause.

View all drain questionsIs a shared pipe in Rushcutters Bay always common property?
Not automatically. The lots or properties served, strata plan and pipe position matter. A shared private pipe also remains different from a Sydney Water main.
What symptoms should neighbouring units compare?
Compare slow or overflowing toilets, sinks, floor wastes and inspection points, including when each symptom began and whether it occurs together.
Who should report a main-sewer overflow?
When details points to Sydney Water’s network, report it to Sydney Water. A licensed plumber can assess the private side and help identify the boundary.
