  • ABOUT THIS SERVICE

What does drain unblocking involve?

You will rarely clear a blockage with a bottle of drain cleaner from the supermarket. We remove the blockage at the source, with professional equipment, and then check that the water drains normally again. That applies to a single drain just as much as to the main sewer pipe of the house.

A blockage usually gives warning signs before things go completely wrong. If you recognise any of these signs, do not wait too long:

  • Water drains away slowly from the sink or shower
  • A nasty smell from the drain or floor drain
  • The toilet flushes poorly or not at all
  • A gurgling sound after flushing
  • Water comes up when the washing machine empties
  • Several drains blocked at the same time

Best avoid chemical drain cleaner

Chemical drain cleaners rarely clear a blockage and can damage older pipes. They are also dangerous for the tradesman who has to work on the pipes afterwards. If you have already used some, let us know before we start.

What is included?

  • The labour of the tradesman who comes to you
  • Professional drain unblocking equipment
  • Tracing the cause of the blockage
  • Checking that the water drains properly again afterwards
  • Advice on how to prevent the next blockage
  • No call-out charge within Almere
  • 1-year guarantee on the work carried out

Not included

  • Materials and parts
  • Camera inspection, high-pressure jetting and sewer replacement
  • MUNICIPAL OR PRIVATE SEWER

Blocked sewer in Almere?

Is water not draining away anywhere, or is it coming up in the shower or the downstairs toilet? Then the blockage is usually in the sewer. First look in the rodding point: the pipe with a cap, usually at the property boundary in the front garden.

Is the rodding point full of water? Then the blockage is probably in the municipal sewer. Call the municipality of Almere on 14 036 first, before you bring in a company. Otherwise you pay the costs yourself, even if the blockage turned out to be on the municipality's side.

Is the rodding point empty, or is there only a little water in it? Then the blockage is in your own sewer pipe, between the house and the rodding point. That part belongs to the owner of the home, and we will clear it for you, including at night and at weekends. If you rent, report it to your landlord first. Explained step by step: blocked sewer in Almere: municipality or plumber?

  • OUR SERVICES

What can we help you with?

Wall-hung toilet in a toilet room

Unblocking a toilet

A blocked toilet is the most common emergency job. We clear the drain without damaging the toilet and then check the flow.

Water draining away through the plughole of a stainless steel sink

Sinks and drains

Grease, hair and soap residue make a drain in the kitchen or bathroom empty slowly. We clear the pipe and flush it through.

Opened inspection chamber with a heavily soiled cover

Unblocking sewer pipes

If nothing drains away any more and water comes up in several places, the blockage is usually in the main sewer pipe. We tackle it at the inspection chamber.

Shower room with a floor drain

Blocked shower or bath

A shower that will not drain is almost always caused by hair and soap residue in the trap or the drain pipe. We clear it and put the drain cover back clean.

Inspection chamber in the paving next to a flower bed

Outdoor sewers and inspection chambers

A blockage in the garden, the rainwater drain or the outdoor sewer. We locate the inspection chamber, clear the pipe and flush it through.

    Mohammed got in touch quickly and was able to come the very same day. The blockage was cleared quickly, and when it later turned out that the water still was not flowing quite right, he came back to sort that out as well, which was really nice. I found Mohammed very friendly and helpful!

    Posted the job on a Sunday, got a response on the Sunday and the job was sorted. Friendly, fast, skilled and customer-focused. I already had the feeling there was some urgency on our side, hence his very quick response. Also very reasonably priced. Without exaggerating, very satisfied and happy. Thanks

When unblocking is not enough

If a blockage keeps coming back, the pipe may have sagged or be broken. In that case we replace the bad section; read more about replacing sewer pipes. If a toilet, basin or tap needs replacing or reconnecting, take a look at sanitary fittings and plumbing.

If the drain under the sink or toilet is leaking, we can fix that too: see leaks and pipework. Getting a new kitchen? Then we lay the water and drain pipes and connect everything through our kitchen installation service. What a visit costs is shown on our prices page. 

  • FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions about drain unblocking

Is your question not listed? Feel free to call or WhatsApp us, also outside office hours.

How much does it cost to unblock a drain or toilet?

We charge €181.44 incl. VAT (€149.95 excl. VAT) for the first hour on site and then €108.84 incl. VAT (€89.95 excl. VAT) per hour. Outside Almere, there is an added call-out charge of €42.35. Most blockages are cleared within an hour. For comparison: according to Werkspot, drain unblocking nationally costs between €100 and €250 per job.

How long does unblocking take?

A single drain or a blocked toilet is usually done within an hour. If the blockage is in the main sewer pipe, we allow one to two hours. We tell you in advance what we expect.

Can I use chemical drain cleaner?

Preferably not. Chemical drain cleaners rarely clear a blockage properly and can damage older pipes. If you have already used some, tell us before we start — it is dangerous for the tradesman who has to work in the pipe.

How do I prevent the next blockage?

Do not pour fat or frying oil down the sink, use a hair catcher in the shower, and do not flush wet wipes down the toilet — not even if they say 'flushable'. That last one is by far the most common cause.

Who pays for unblocking in a rented home?

That depends on the cause and on your tenancy agreement. A blockage in the pipes inside the home is often the tenant's responsibility; a blockage in the sewer under the street is for the municipality. If you rent, report the blockage to your landlord or housing association first. We note on the invoice what we found, so you can show it to them.

Do you also come out in the evening and at weekends?

Yes, we are available 24 hours a day. In an emergency we recommend calling rather than sending a WhatsApp message — on the phone we can hear straight away how urgent it is.
