The sewer pit is right behind our houses and gets clogged regularly. Once it’s past the property line, it’s Melbourne Water issued.
They clear it up within hours and spray our yards with antibacterial stuff to kill all the nasties.

That’s interesting!

If all your drains are backing up, the issue is definitely downstream and most likely not your responsibility. Unless your sewer pipe on your property gets clogged (which it really shouldn’t).
Our issue is that roots etc clog up the sewer pit (where all the street drains connect) and we’re the first ones to notice.

I’ve only had blocked outside drain maybe twice. I do the El Flusho for maintenance.
