Blocked Drain Clearing
Slow-draining sink, gurgling toilet or a drain that's overflowing outside — blocked drains are unpleasant and get worse quickly. Plumbalot clears blocked drains across Roodepoort, Honeydew and Weltevreden Park and finds out why they blocked in the first place.
Clearing the blockage properly
We clear kitchen sinks, showers, baths, toilets, sewers and outside drains, using the right method for the type of blockage. Once the drain runs freely, we check that the flow is healthy rather than leaving a partial blockage that will return in a week.
Why drains keep blocking
Repeat blockages usually have a cause: fat and food build-up, tree roots intruding on the sewer line, sagging or broken pipe sections, or foreign objects. If your drain blocks repeatedly, we can investigate the line so you're not paying to clear the same blockage every few months.

Questions
Can I unblock a drain myself?
A plunger can shift a simple sink blockage. If water still stands after that, or more than one fixture is affected, the blockage is deeper in the line and it's best cleared properly before it backs up into the house.
Are tree roots a common cause?
They're one of the most common causes of repeat sewer blockages in established suburbs. Roots enter through small joints and grow; clearing restores flow, but the entry point usually needs a proper repair.
