- A line repeatedly blocking
Wastewater backing up
Several fixtures backing up or wastewater appearing at an outside gully can indicate a restriction downstream. Reduce use of affected fixtures and keep people and animals away from any discharge. Call to discuss clearing and inspection. If the problem appears to involve a public asset, also report it to the local network operator.
Stormwater not draining
Leaves, sediment, roots and pipe-condition issues can restrict a stormwater line. Heavy rain can also exceed drainage capacity, so ponding does not always establish a blockage. Drain Kings can assess suitable private lines and discuss clearing or CCTV. Keep clear of floodwater and report public-road or wider network flooding to the responsible authority.
Common questions
Does ponding always mean a blocked drain?
No. Heavy rain can exceed drainage capacity, and other site or network factors may be involved. The pattern and location help guide an assessment.
Who handles a street drain?
Report an apparent public-network blockage or flooding issue to the relevant council or water network operator. Drain Kings can discuss suitable drainage at your property.
