Worth knowing about Nerang

The Nerang township was surveyed in 1865, and its urban growth began in the 1970s. The Nerang River runs through the town. After ex-Tropical Cyclone Debbie in 2017, Energex named areas around Nerang among the worst affected. Older drains and big storms can both lead to blockages. We connect Nerang locals with a licensed local plumber who can find where a drain is blocked.

Much of Nerang’s housing dates from the growth that began in the 1970s. In these homes, a blocked drain tends to start with one slow fixture, then spread to others. Look for a gurgling toilet, a smell in the yard or water around the outside gully. Inspection openings are a legal requirement in Queensland, but older homes without one don’t have to add one. Investigating a blockage in those homes may cost more.

Check your overflow relief gully as well. It should let sewage spill outside before it backs up inside. The City of Gold Coast says the grate must be loose and clear and sit 75 mm above the surrounding ground. If it is buried under turf or paving, ask the plumber to look at it while they are there.
