Australian properties run two independent drainage systems: sanitary (sewer) and stormwater. Stormwater collects from downpipes, surface pits and paved areas, discharging to the street kerb, an underground council network or approved on-site soakage.
Illegal cross-connections — stormwater into sewer or vice versa — cause sewer overflows in rain and contaminate waterways, and are a standard check during drainage inspections.

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.
