If you're in a house/unit/townhouse, check your storm water vent (outdoors). Could be a blockage down the line
Thanks! The Drano did nothing, my shower is a pool again ๐
If there's water coming out of the vent, call Melbourne Water. There may be a blockage in one of the pits. Happened to me a couple of times (live on the bottom of a court, and the pit is behind my place.
This. We had similar issues a couple of years back and it turned out tree roots had grown through and destroyed a pit a whole street away.
Three trucks and one tree removal later, at YVW's expense, all sorted.
We still had to pay the initial plumber that came out to take a look and prove the issue wasn't on our property, but they re-imbursed us for that once it was proven that the problem was on their end.
