Worth knowing about Ashmore

Ashmore's residential estates were built mainly during the 1970s and 1980s, beside the Nerang River. About two in three homes are separate houses, and many of their drains have been in the ground for 40 years or more. Older drains can shift, crack or let in tree roots. When one blocks, we help Ashmore homeowners reach a licensed local plumber.

In a separate house, the first sign is often one fixture draining slowly, then several. A gurgle from the toilet when the washing machine empties is another clue. Check the overflow relief gully, the grated outlet in the yard, usually near the bathroom or laundry. If water or sewage is coming out of it, the blockage is usually further down the line, towards the street.

That gully lets sewage spill outside instead of backing up into your home. The City of Gold Coast says its grate must stay loose and clear. It must not take stormwater, pool water or tap water. Keep pavers, pot plants and mulch off it. A licensed local plumber can check that it sits at the right height.
