In a house, a stormwater blockage and a sewer blockage look different. Water pooling in the yard or spilling from downpipes after rain usually points to stormwater. A slow toilet, a gurgling shower or a smell from the overflow relief gully points to the sewer drain. If that gully is overflowing, the blockage is usually further down the line.

The City of Gold Coast says the overflow relief gully must not take stormwater, pool water or tap water. Its grate must stay loose and clear. After a storm, clear away leaves and debris that have built up around it. If you find a downpipe draining into the gully, ask a licensed plumber to reconnect it to the stormwater system.
