Drainage specialists
A blocked drain rarely clears itself and gets worse fast. Plumbers X clears kitchen, bathroom and main sewer blockages across Fourways, Broadacres, Bryanston, Sandton, Randburg, Midrand and the surrounding northern Johannesburg suburbs, and cleans the line properly so the same blockage does not come back next month.
We clear blockages mechanically rather than pouring chemicals down a line. Drain machines and rodding remove the obstruction itself, whether that is fat, hair, roots, sand or something that should never have gone down the drain.
Kitchen lines block with congealed fat and food waste. Bathroom, basin and shower drains block with hair and soap. Both respond to proper cleaning of the pipe wall rather than just punching a hole through the blockage.
When more than one fixture backs up at the same time, the problem is in the main line, not the fixture. We work from the inspection chamber, clear the run and check the flow afterwards.
Repeat blockages usually have a cause — root ingress, a bellied section, a collapsed pipe or a bad fall. We tell you what we found so you can fix the cause instead of paying for clearing every few months.
A slow drain is an early warning. Cleaning the line while it is still flowing is quicker and cheaper than an emergency call out when it stops completely, and it is worth doing before guests, holidays or a tenant moves in.
Sewage backing up into a shower or overflowing outside is an emergency. We take those calls 24 hours a day and clear the line so the property can be used again.
Tell us what is happening and we will let you know what the work involves and what it costs. No call out fee, free quotations, and emergency plumbing available around the clock across northern Johannesburg.
