A sewer inspection shaft is the point where the property owner’s private drainage line is connected to Council’s sewer main. Common terms for this are:
- sewer boundary shaft
- sewer riser
- sewer inspection point.
Property owners are responsible for making sure your sewer inspection point is easy to get to. Your plumber will then be able to check if there is a blockage.
