In one of the suburb’s unit blocks, check whether your neighbours have slow drains too. If they do, the problem may be in a shared pipe, so tell the building manager or body corporate. In a house or townhouse, look at the outside gully. Water rising or spilling there after you run a tap is a common sign of a blocked line.

Knowing who looks after which pipe helps. The City of Gold Coast maintains the sewer pipes from its main up to your property connection point. The drains and inspection openings on the property side are the owner’s to maintain. A licensed local plumber can tell you which side of that point the blockage is on.
