A blocked drain here may be in an older or newer building, and it may sit in a pipe that several units share. We connect Coolangatta residents with a licensed local plumber for blocked drains.

In Coolangatta’s unit blocks, a blocked drain can affect more than one home. If your shower or sink drains slowly and the neighbours report the same, the blockage is probably in a shared pipe. Tell the building manager or body corporate first. When you talk to the plumber, give the building name, floor and unit number, and say which fixtures are affected.

Shared pipes are only as clear as what every unit sends down them. The City of Gold Coast says only pee, poo and paper should go down the toilet. Wet wipes, sanitary items and cotton buds go in the bin. Fats, oils and food scraps should never go down the sink. Put fats and oils in a sealed container in the bin instead.
