Worth knowing about Ormeau

Nine in ten Ormeau homes are separate houses: 91.0% at the 2021 Census. The Norfolk Village estate was mapped out in the mid-1980s, but little was built until the early 1990s. So a blocked drain here is most likely your own house drain rather than a shared pipe. For that, we connect Ormeau homeowners with a licensed local plumber.

In a house, the overflow relief gully outside is the key sign. It is the grated outlet in the yard, usually near the bathroom or laundry. If it is overflowing, the blockage is usually further down the line, towards the sewer. If only one fixture is slow, the problem is more likely in that fixture’s own pipe. Avoid using the toilet or shower until it has been checked.

The City of Gold Coast maintains the sewer from its main to your property connection point. You, as the owner, maintain the drains and inspection openings on your side. A licensed local plumber can find which side the blockage is on. If you rent, tell your landlord or property manager too.
