Worth knowing about Burleigh Heads

Goodwin Terrace, the first apartment block in Burleigh Heads, went up in 1967, nearly a century after the township was surveyed. Some 20-storey blocks followed in the 1980s. A blocked drain here might be in a house drain or in pipes shared by a whole building. We connect Burleigh Heads residents with a licensed local plumber who can work out which.

In an apartment block, tell the building manager or body corporate first. Shared pipes can carry a blockage from one unit to the next, and the plumber may need access to common areas. In a house, an overflow relief gully that is spilling points to a blockage further down the line. After a storm, also check stormwater pits and downpipes for leaves and sand.

Sewer upkeep is split at the property connection point. The City of Gold Coast maintains the pipe from its main to that point, and the owner maintains the drains and inspection openings on the property side. A licensed local plumber can tell you where your blockage sits. For sewage spilling from a street manhole, call the City on 1300 GOLDCOAST (1300 465 326).
