After heavy rain or flooding, silt and debris can settle in house drains and stormwater pits. A slow shower, a gurgling toilet or a smell in the yard can follow. Check the overflow relief gully outside, too. Water or sewage rising through its grate usually means the blockage is downstream. It is worth having a plumber look at it before the next big rain.

If the blockage is in the City’s part of the sewer, it is the City’s to maintain. The City of Gold Coast looks after the pipe from its main to the property connection point. Owners look after the drains and inspection openings on their side of that point. A licensed local plumber can tell you which part is blocked.
