Bosmans Rioolservice Amsterdam
Your drain engineer in Amsterdam-West
Amsterdam-West consists largely of the nineteenth-century ring and the extensions from the interwar years. Oud-West and the Kinkerbuurt have long four-storey blocks, built quickly and simply at the time. The Spaarndammerbuurt shows the brickwork of the Amsterdam School, and De Baarsjes and Bos en Lommer have somewhat roomier homes from the 1920s to the 1950s, all on piles in the peat.
Those blocks have one thing in common: many households on relatively few drains. Grease, hair and wet wipes come together in a soil stack or in the shared underground drain beneath the inner courtyard. Our drain unblocking service in Amsterdam-West clears those pipes along their full length and uses the camera to show what the pipe looks like inside, so you know exactly where you stand.

Local knowledge
What we often come across in Amsterdam-West
Underground drains beneath the inner courtyard
In the closed blocks of Oud-West and De Baarsjes, the drainage often runs through a shared pipe beneath the inner courtyard. Roots from trees and shrubs find their way in there. We cut the roots out and map the pipe with the camera, so the whole block drains freely again.
Amsterdam School homes
The Spaarndammerbuurt has protected housing blocks with distinctive brickwork. Breaking anything open is often not an option there. With relining, an old drain gets a new inner wall from within the existing pipe, so the facade, stairwell and floors stay untouched.
Shopping streets and eateries
Along the Kinkerstraat, the Jan Pieter Heijestraat and the Bos en Lommerweg there are shops and eateries with a kitchen on the ground floor. We clean their drains with high pressure jetting and schedule preventive jetting, so the business keeps running smoothly during busy hours.

Toilet unblocking in Amsterdam-West
In an upstairs flat in the Staatsliedenbuurt or Oud-West, a blocked toilet can often be traced to a narrow trap or a bend just behind the pan. For toilet unblocking in Amsterdam-West we clear that waste pipe and check straight away that the soil stack behind it flows properly.

A sewer backing up in several homes at once usually points to the shared underground drain in West. We locate the access chamber, jet at high pressure to the street sewer and show you the camera footage. That way the pipe is clear again for the whole stairwell or block.

Wooden floors and joists in the old blocks absorb moisture quickly. For leak detection in Amsterdam-West we use leak detection equipment and a pressure test to find exactly where the water is coming from, so only one floorboard or tile at that spot needs to come up and your home is dry again soon.

Frequently asked questions about Amsterdam-West
Is your question not listed? Feel free to call us, we will think along with you straight away.
+31 85 200 93 27Can you jet the soil stack of an upstairs flat in Oud-West?
Yes. We flush the soil stack from the top access point or the roof all the way to the sewer. That way the pipe is clear again for every home in the stairwell, not just yours.
Is relining possible in a listed building in the Spaarndammerbuurt?
Often it is. After a camera inspection we assess whether the pipe is suitable. Relining is done from within the existing pipe, without breaking into the facade or floor, and comes with a ten-year guarantee.
What does an emergency call-out cost?
The call-out starts from 45 euros. Work is charged per hour; the rate depends on the type of work and the time you call. You hear the rate before we drive out.
Do I get a guarantee on the work?
Yes. You get a two-year guarantee on our work and ten years on relining, plus the manufacturer's warranty on supplied materials.
