What is sewer unblocking and why is it important?
Unblocking a sewer means removing a blockage in your drainage system, so that wastewater can flow away smoothly again and you will no longer suffer from unpleasant odors, water damage, or even flooding in your home. Ontstoppen.nl We know from experience how annoying a blocked drain is. A blockage can occur anywhere in the sewer system: from the toilet to the kitchen drain, the rainwater drain, or even the main sewer. It pays to take immediate action, because a blocked drain can cause pipe damage, leaks, and the risk of an unhealthy indoor climate due to bacteria and mold.
Blockages occur throughout the Netherlands, whether you live in a historic city center or a modern, newly developed neighborhood. The most important thing is to act quickly and professionally. Often, buildup of grease, soap, hair, or toilet paper is the culprit, but sometimes it's deeper and caused by a collapsed pipe, root growth, or subsidence in the sewer system.
How does sewer unblocking work? Ontstoppen.nl?
Our sewer service is all about expertise and modern techniques. We apply a customized approach to every blockage. First, we use advanced equipment to locate the exact blockage. This includes an inspection with a sewer camera, which provides a live view of the situation. We then use various unblocking methods, depending on the type of blockage and its location:
- High pressure cleaningWe spray water through your pipes under high pressure, completely loosening grease, limescale, sand and other dirt.
- Mechanical unblockingWe use spring machines, spirals, and milling cutters to remove stubborn blockages such as tree roots or accumulations of cloth.
- Sewer camera inspection: With this we detect blockages, cracks or subsidence in the sewer system quickly and efficiently.
- Preventive cleaningRegular cleaning is the recipe for preventing future blockages and extending the life of your system.
We apply each technique with professional systems from A-brands such as Ridgid, Kessel and Rioned, known in the industry for their reliability.

Frequently asked questions
How do you recognize a blocked drain and what should you do first?
A blocked drain is easily identified by signs such as slow water drainage, gurgling sounds from the drain, or a sewer smell in the house. It's also common for multiple drains to become blocked simultaneously, such as the toilet and sink. This indicates a problem further down the sewer system and requires immediate action, as it can otherwise cause indoor flooding.
If you notice the water isn't draining, we recommend first checking whether it's just one drain or if the entire household is affected. Avoid excessive flushing and don't try to solve the problem with harsh chemicals, as these can damage the pipes. Contact specialists such as Ontstoppen.nl for a professional and, above all, safe approach. Want to know more about how we tackle stubborn blockages?

What are the most common causes of a sewer blockage?
The most common causes of a blocked drain are accumulations of grease, hair, food scraps, toilet paper, and non-soluble products like wet wipes or sanitary napkins. Kitchen grease solidifies in the pipes and builds up over time into a hard plug, preventing the wastewater from flowing properly. Limescale, tree root growth, or subsidence can also cause structural blockages.
Regular maintenance of your sewer and paying attention to what you flush prevents many problems. We often see that a simple explanation of what can and cannot be flushed can prevent blockages. However, for serious problems, it's always wise to call an experienced professional for a lasting solution. Prefer to avoid the hassle of a clogged drain?

Can I unclog my drain myself, or is it better to call in a professional?
