Drain unblocking in Amsterdam: do I call the municipality or a plumber?
Amsterdam has more than 474,000 homes. 87% are flats, 70% are rented (40% from a housing association) and 80% were built before 2000 (CBS, 2023). A blockage in the sewer in the street is reported to the City of Amsterdam on 14 020 or with the reporting form on amsterdam.nl; the same goes for Weesp. Almost nine in ten homes in Amsterdam are flats. Many Amsterdam homes were built before 1960. Lead was banned in 1960, but checks in 2021 still found lead in 3,987 of the 87,312 pre-1960 homes of Amsterdam housing associations, mostly in Amsterdam-Noord.
In a block of flats, several homes share the same soil stack. If water drains slowly at your place and at the neighbours', the blockage is probably in that shared pipe; report it to the owners' association or landlord as well.
