In a house, the overflow relief gully outside is your early warning. When it spills, the blockage is usually somewhere between the gully and the sewer. In a townhouse or apartment, slow drains in more than one home point to a shared pipe. Tell the body corporate or building manager, and let the plumber know which type of home you are in.

A few details help the plumber plan the job. Note which fixtures are affected and whether it started suddenly or built up over weeks. Say if you have noticed smells, gurgling or water around the gully. If you rent, mention who manages the property. With your permission, we’ll pass these details on to a licensed local plumber.
