Drain Cleaning in Randburg – When Water Won't Go Down, We Show Up
It starts as a slow drain — then the gurgling begins. Before you know it, your sink's full of yesterday's rinse water and your shower's turning into a shallow bath. In Randburg, we've seen it all. In Fairland, a kitchen drain blocked by years of dish soap and food bits. In Northcliff, tree roots growing straight into a stormwater line.
One family tried clearing their kitchen sink with every DIY trick in the book. Nothing worked. We showed up, cleared the line properly, and gave them back their weekend.
If your drain's acting up, don't wait. We'll come out, sort it, and leave it working like it should — without drama.
What Causes Blocked Drains in Randburg?
Blocked drains are more common than you think. Especially in older Randburg homes, where the original pipes are still running the show.
Most clogs come from the same few things:
- Grease and food scraps in kitchen sinks
- Hair and soap in bathroom drains
- Tree roots in garden lines
- Toys, wipes, or "accidents" in toilets
We find the issue, clear it properly, and check the flow before we pack up.
Blocked Toilet Services
A blocked toilet is the kind of problem that doesn't wait for business hours. Whether it's paper overload or someone flushed what they shouldn't have — we'll get things flowing again.
One callout in Northcliff involved a curious toddler, a toothbrush, and a very expensive mistake. We cleared the line without damage and got everything back in working order.
If your toilet bowl is rising instead of draining — give us a shout. We handle it cleanly, quickly, and without turning your home into a worksite.
Drain Cleaning That Doesn't Wreck Your Pipes
We use smart, safe tools — not big machines that scratch old pipes or make a mess in your kitchen.
Whether it's rods, pressure, or a clean-out method suited to your type of home, we clean the drain properly, test it fully, and show you what we've done.
And if the problem runs deeper — we'll explain it clearly and walk you through your options.
What Makes Drain Cleaning in Fairland and Northcliff Different
Fairland's homes often have long, shallow drain lines with lots of bends. That means more places for gunk to collect. In Northcliff, large trees can lead to root intrusion and cracked pipes.
We've worked in both areas for years. We know the common issues and how to solve them without overcomplicating it.
Whether you're in a heritage home or a modern build, we've seen your setup before.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How quickly can you clear a blocked drain?
Most drain blockages can be cleared within 30-60 minutes once we arrive. Simple blockages like hair or soap buildup are quick fixes. More complex issues involving tree roots or deep pipe problems may take longer, but we'll give you an accurate timeframe after inspection.
Should I try chemical drain cleaners before calling you?
We recommend avoiding harsh chemical cleaners as they can damage pipes and are often ineffective on serious blockages. If water is still draining slowly, try hot water and dish soap first. For complete blockages, it's best to call us straight away to avoid making the problem worse.

Yes, we provide emergency drain cleaning services for urgent situations like sewage backups or completely blocked toilets. We understand that some drain problems can't wait, so we offer quick response times for emergency call-outs across Randburg.
Can you detect tree roots in drain pipes?
Yes, we use CCTV camera inspections to detect tree root intrusions in drain pipes. This helps us see exactly where the problem is and determine the best method for clearing roots and preventing future intrusions. We can also provide advice on tree management near drain lines.
