Blocked? We Clear It

Why Boksburg Drains Block

In the older suburbs it is usually roots. The sewer lines are clay, the trees are big, and the roots find every joint. Add grease from the kitchen, wet wipes down the loo and sand washed in by a Highveld storm, and the line chokes.

We do not just poke a hole and leave. We clear the whole line. If it keeps coming back, we put a camera down to see whether a pipe has cracked, sagged or collapsed, then fix that section.

  • Toilets, basins, showers and baths
  • Main sewer and manholes
  • Machines and high-pressure jetting
  • Camera checks for repeat blockages

On the Job List

Blockages We Clear

Toilet Will Not Flush

Slow or overflowing. Cleared, and the line behind it checked.

Sink Full of Water

Grease and food packed into the kitchen waste and gully. Flushed out.

Main Sewer Blocked

Everything backing up at once. Cleared through to the municipal connection.

Roots in the Line

Cut out with the machine, then a camera to see the damage.

Stormwater Overflowing

Gutters, downpipes and gullies cleared before and after the rains.

Same Blockage Again

The camera finds the broken or badly sloped pipe so you fix it once.

Local Conditions

What Is Behind These Jobs in Boksburg

Same suburbs, same causes. Here is what we run into over and over:

Roots in the Old Clay Sewer

The big old trees in Boksburg love clay sewer pipes. Roots find the joints, push in and grow into a net that catches everything. Slow toilets, gurgling basins and the same blockage every few months say it is happening. We cut the roots out, run a camera down the line and fix the broken section.

Highveld Storm, Overflowing Gully

A summer downpour can dump a month of rain in an hour. Sand and leaves wash into gullies and stormwater pipes and the sewer backs up into the yard. Stop flushing. Call us to clear the drain with a machine or a high-pressure jetter.

Moving Ground, Hidden Leaks

East Rand clay swells when it rains and shrinks when it dries, tugging at buried pipes every season. Water bill jumped? A patch of lawn that never dries out? There is probably a leak underground. Our leak detection finds it without digging up the whole garden.

Galvanised and Copper Past Their Prime

Plenty of houses in and around Boksburg were plumbed in galvanised steel or copper the day they were built. Galvanised rusts from the inside out. Copper springs pinholes. Brown water, a weak shower and damp spots on the wall are your warning. Ignore them and you get a burst. We swap out tired pipework a section at a time or all in one go.

Water Where It Shouldn't Be in Boksburg?

Close the stopcock first. If the geyser is the culprit, flip its switch off at the DB board too. Then phone 082 550 3306, day or night. Not urgent? Book on 087 700 7781 during office hours.

Blocked Drains Boksburg: Your Questions

Click a question. The answer drops open.

Roots in old clay sewers, mostly. Then grease, wet wipes and sanitary products, plus sand and leaves after summer storms.

Yes. Sewer overflows are handled 24/7 on 082 550 3306.

A high-pressure water hose that scours the inside of the pipe clean. It shifts grease properly instead of just opening a gap through it.

Something is wrong with the pipe itself: roots, a crack or a sag. A camera inspection shows exactly where.

Pipes on your property are generally yours. The main municipal sewer is the council's. We check where the blockage sits before we start.

Not in the day. After hours there is a surcharge, quoted on the phone first. The plumber quotes the work and you decide.
