Local knowledge
What we often come across in Groningen
Clay soil and movement
There is a lot of clay around Groningen. The ground moves in dry and wet periods, and that can shift the joints in a drain. A CCTV drain survey shows exactly what is going on.
Student houses
In the city centre and the Oosterpoort many students share one drain. We unblock quickly and advise on strainers and maintenance to keep it clear.
1930s homes
In Helpman and the Schildersbuurt the original clay pipes are often still in place. Relining gives these pipes a new inner wall without digging up the garden.
New builds in Meerstad
Drains in modern homes can also become blocked. We find the cause quickly and fix it in a single visit.

Drain services Groningen: what you can call us for
Toilet unblocking in Groningen
Our engineer quickly gets a blocked toilet working again, whether in an upstairs flat in the Korrewegwijk or a family home in Lewenborg. With a drain snake or high pressure we remove wipes, paper and deposits from the toilet drain. We then flush through and check that the toilet flushes powerfully again, so you can get on with your day.
More about toilet unblockingDrain and sink unblocking in Groningen
Groningen's city centre has many restaurants, cafés and eateries with busy kitchens. Grease and food scraps quickly build up in sinks and drains there. We unblock the pipe and clean it at high pressure, outside opening hours if you prefer. At home in Vinkhuizen or Selwerd too, we get a slow sink or shower flowing again quickly.
More about drain unblockingSewer unblocking in Groningen
If several drains are running poorly at the same time in your home in Paddepoel or Hoogkerk, the blockage is usually further along the sewer. Our drain unblocking service opens the access point and jets the pipe at high pressure to the street. We then check that everything drains freely to the main sewer again and tell you what the cause was.

In Groningen a CCTV drain survey is also useful for a renovation or extension. You then know exactly where the pipe runs before the builder starts. We follow the pipe to the main sewer, you watch live and on request receive footage and a report. That way you can plan the work with full knowledge.
More about CCTV drain surveyLeak detection in Groningen
A leak in an old townhouse in the Oosterpoort or a flat in the Ebbingekwartier is not always where the damp shows. With leak detection and a pressure test we search in a targeted way for the source. We then repair the pipe with as little breaking open as possible, so your home is dry again.

A sewer smell in a room that is rarely used, such as a guest room or a student room during the holidays, often comes from a dried-out trap. A loose vent or a cracked connection can also play a part. We trace the source in your Groningen home and repair it, so it smells fresh again.
