Connection Point

1 min read Updated 6 Jul 2026 DrainSpy Brisbane
In short The junction where a property's private sanitary drain joins the public sewer — and the legal boundary between owner and utility responsibility.

Every sewered property has a defined connection point, recorded on the authority's drainage plans with its position and invert depth. Upstream of that point, drains are private assets the owner maintains; downstream is the utility's network.

Knowing where the connection point sits is essential when a blockage is being diagnosed — it determines who is responsible for the fix.

What Is It For?

Defines where private drainage ends and the public network begins.

Where You'll Find It

Usually near the property boundary, at the depth recorded on drainage plans.

Common Problems

  • Uncertainty over responsibility when blockages sit near the point
  • Old plans showing inaccurate positions
  • Damaged connections from historical works

How DrainSpy Brisbane Deals With It

A CCTV drain inspection is the standard way to confirm whether this is what's happening in your pipes: the camera shows the condition on screen, a locator pinpoints the exact position and depth, and you get a recorded report before any repair decisions are made.
