Emergency drain unblocking in Rondebosch
A blocked drain never waits for a convenient time. If a toilet is backing up, a gully is overflowing in the yard or sewage is coming up through a floor trap, we handle emergency drain unblocking in Rondebosch 24/7. We clear the blockage, check that the line is running properly and tell you what caused it, so it does not happen again next week.
Why drains block in Rondebosch
Rondebosch has a lot of older housing, from Victorian and Edwardian homes to semi-detached houses and blocks of flats, and much of it still runs on clay sewer pipes that are decades old. Those pipes have a joint every metre or so, and roots from the area’s big oaks and other mature trees find their way in. Over time the roots fill the pipe and catch everything that goes down the drain.
The suburb also has many student houses and rental flats close to the university. More people sharing kitchens and bathrooms means more fat, wipes and food scraps in the drains, and blockages that keep coming back.
How we clear and repair blocked drains
- High pressure jetting. Instead of pushing a rod through to make a hole, we jet the full length of the pipe clean, including grease build up and fine roots.
- CCTV camera inspection. If a drain keeps blocking in the same place, we send a camera down to find the crack, root intrusion or sagging section. See CCTV drain inspection.
- Drain repairs. Where a section of pipe is broken or collapsed, we quote on repairing that section instead of replacing the whole line.
- Toilet, sink and shower blockages. Indoor blockages are usually quick to clear, and we check the main line while we are there.
Landlords, agents and student housing
We regularly work on rental properties and can invoice landlords and letting agents directly. If a property has repeat blockages between tenants, a camera inspection usually shows whether the problem is the pipe or simply what is going down it.
Frequently asked questions
Do you do drain unblocking after hours?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7. Call 076 402 7461 for emergency drain unblocking.
Is drain cleaning the same as drain unblocking?
Unblocking clears the immediate blockage so water flows again. Drain cleaning goes further and jets the whole pipe clean so the blockage is less likely to come back. For most blocked drains we do both.
Why does my drain keep blocking?
Repeat blockages in the same spot usually mean the pipe itself is cracked, sagging or full of roots. A camera inspection shows you exactly what is going on before any digging is done.
Do you cover the nearby suburbs too?
Yes. We also do drain cleaning in Newlands, Bishopscourt and across the Southern Suburbs.
