Blocked drain in Johannesburg? Professional drain cleaning and unblocking. Fast response, permanent solutions. High-pressure jetting technology. Call 060 348 8268.
A blocked drain is more than just an inconvenience—it's a problem that gets worse if ignored. In Johannesburg, drain blockages are incredibly common due to older municipal systems, mineral-rich water, and the way homes and businesses accumulate debris in pipes over years of use. What starts as slow drainage in a shower can escalate to backed-up sewage affecting your entire property.
Our professional drain cleaning service in Johannesburg uses advanced technology to identify and eliminate blockages quickly and permanently. Whether it's a simple hair clog in your bathroom or a serious tree root blockage in underground sewage lines, we have the expertise and equipment to fix it. We've cleared thousands of drains across Sandton, Midrand, Randburg, and all Johannesburg suburbs.
The key to preventing drain problems is professional maintenance. We don't just clear your current blockage—we show you how to prevent future problems and recommend preventive maintenance to keep your drains flowing freely for years.

We use a small camera to inspect inside your drain line. This shows exactly where the blockage is and what's causing it—hair, grease, roots, etc.
Based on the inspection, we recommend the best solution: mechanical snake removal, high-pressure water jetting, chemical treatment, or professional extraction.
Our technician uses the selected method to completely clear the blockage. Most blockages are cleared within 1-2 hours.
We test the drain to confirm it's flowing freely and problem-solved. We'll show you what caused the blockage and provide prevention tips.
We advise on maintenance to prevent future blockages—drain screens, avoiding grease, regular flushing, or professional maintenance schedules.
