Blocked Drains
in Paarl

Blocked toilet, a shower that will not drain, or a gully backing up in the yard? 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.

Report a Blockage

Tell us what is blocked and we will call you back with an honest, upfront price before any work starts.

Blockages We Clear

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.

Blocked Toilets

Toilets that will not flush or keep rising, cleared quickly without the mess left behind.

Sinks & Basins

Kitchen sinks clogged with fat and food, and slow bathroom basins, cleared and flowing again.

Slow Showers

Showers that pool at your feet, often an ageing internal drain rather than a simple blockage.

Outside Drains & Gullies

Yard drains and gullies backing up after rain, cleared before they flood the paving.

Sewer Lines & Manholes

Main sewer line and manhole blockages cleared with high-pressure jetting.

Recurring Blockages

A drain that blocks again and again gets a CCTV camera inspection to find the real cause.

Why Drains Block In Paarl & The Older Suburbs

In Paarl's leafy, established streets, from the older parts of Lemoenkloof and Courtrai to the tree-lined roads around Boschenmeer, 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.

Older apartment blocks and townhouse complexes have their own version of the problem: slow-draining showers and basins caused by ageing internal drainage rather than a single blockage. And every winter, heavy rain off the Berg River overwhelms stormwater and yard gullies, so we see a spike in outside drains backing up from June to August.

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.
