Immediate drain help
What to do first in St Ives Chase
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 St Ives Chase.
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 Ku-ring-gai Council.

Getting a drain checked in St Ives Chase
Tell us what is backing up, when it started and where the drain can be reached safely.
For a blocked drain in St Ives Chase, report whether the symptom affects fixtures, an outdoor drain or only appears during or after rain. The timing and water path help distinguish wastewater, a private stormwater line, runoff and seepage.
Council puts private stormwater maintenance with the owner but treats natural overland flow and groundwater seepage as different matters. A licensed assessment should follow the actual water source.
Clearing blocked house drains through a safe access point
Tell us when the pooling starts, which pit or grate fills and whether toilets or indoor drains are behaving normally.
Private stormwater pit and line assessment
Start with the drain that is backing up, how quickly it changed and the nearest safe access point.
Distinguishing seepage or runoff from a pipe blockage
Repair advice comes after the drain is made safe and the damaged section has been found inside the accessible pipe.
