Blocked Toilets
Toilets that will not flush or keep rising, cleared quickly without the mess left behind.
Home / Blocked Drains
Blocked toilet, a shower that will not drain, or a gully backing up in the yard after the winter rain? We clear it fast with high-pressure jetting and, where it keeps coming back, a CCTV camera to find the real cause, then leave the place clean.
Tell us what is blocked and we will call you back with an honest, upfront price before any work starts.
From a single slow drain to a sewer line backing up, we have the jetting and camera gear to clear it properly, not just poke it and hope.

Kitchen sinks clogged with fat and food, and slow bathroom basins, cleared and flowing again.
Showers that pool at your feet, often an ageing internal drain rather than a simple blockage.

Main sewer line and manhole blockages cleared with high-pressure jetting.
A drain that blocks again and again gets a CCTV camera inspection to find the real cause.
In Durbanville's leafy, established streets, from the older parts of the CBD and Sonstraal through the tree-lined roads of Kenridge, Vierlanden and Valmary Park, one of the most common causes of a blocked drain is tree roots. Roots find the joints in old clay and earthenware sewer lines, work their way in, and slowly choke or even collapse the pipe. A plunger will never fix that, which is why we camera the line to see exactly what is going on.
The newer townhouse complexes and security estates have their own version of the problem: slow-draining showers and basins caused by ageing or undersized internal drainage rather than a single blockage. And every winter, heavy rain overwhelms the City of Cape Town's stormwater drains and yard gullies, so we see a clear spike in outside drains backing up from May to September, one of Durbanville's most reliable seasonal call-outs.
One word of warning: reach for the caustic soda or a harsh chemical drain cleaner and you can do real damage to older plastic or metal pipework, and still not shift the blockage. High-pressure jetting clears the drain properly without wrecking the pipe, and a CCTV inspection tells you whether it is a once-off or something that needs a proper repair.
