Sewers in Amsterdam: what the ground does to them
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). Amsterdam is built on soft peat and clay, and many older buildings stand on wooden piles. 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. 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.
If the garden or street sinks relative to a building on piles, the sewer connection comes under strain. With a recurring blockage we therefore use a camera to see whether the pipe has sunk or broken.

Questions about sewers and drains in Amsterdam
Can’t find the answer to your question here? Feel free to call or WhatsApp us, outside office hours too.
Why does my drain in Amsterdam keep getting blocked?
Often the pipe itself is damaged: sunk, cracked or grown through by roots. Amsterdam is built on soft peat and clay, and many older buildings stand on wooden piles. We trace it and replace only the bad section.
Who is responsible for the sewer in Amsterdam?
You are responsible for the pipe on your own property, up to the property boundary. 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.
