The next step depends on the evidence
- 01 · Clear
Restore safe flow
Clear the obstruction using a method suited to the accessible line and stop the immediate backup or overflow.
- 02 · Inspect
Confirm the cause
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 The Ponds
What shared-line details matter in The Ponds?
Report whether neighbouring dwellings have symptoms, which fixtures are affected and any known common inspection points or easements.
Is natural runoff a neighbour’s blocked drain?
Not necessarily. Council distinguishes water following the land from water redirected by structures or private drainage.
When is inspection better than repeated clearing?
When the blockage recurs or the fault position is unclear, inspection can document whether a different maintenance or repair decision is justified.
