Bosmans Rioolservice Rotterdam
Your drain engineer in Rotterdam
Rotterdam is a city of contrasts: pre-war homes in Kralingen and the Oude Noorden, post-war reconstruction in the centre and modern high-rises on the Kop van Zuid. Every type of building calls for its own approach to the drains. Our drain engineers work in Rotterdam every day and know the city from north to south.
A blocked toilet in Delfshaven, a slow sink in Prins Alexander or a leak in a commercial building in the port: one phone call and the nearest engineer comes to you. Day and night, weekends included.

Local knowledge
What we often come across in Rotterdam
Clay and peat soil
Rotterdam is largely built on soft clay and peat. The ground settles slowly, which can shift household connections. We map this with a camera and repair the pipe or apply relining.
Post-war reconstruction buildings
The centre and Delfshaven have many buildings from the 1950s and 1960s, often with cast iron or clay pipes. We clean these pipes thoroughly and advise whether replacement or relining gives the best result.
High-rises and apartments
Rotterdam has more high-rise buildings than any other Dutch city. In towers with long soil stacks we use powerful equipment that clears the whole pipe in one go.
Businesses and restaurants
From the Witte de Withstraat to the Markthal: restaurants and businesses benefit from regular maintenance. We schedule preventive jetting at a time when your business can simply stay open.

Drain services Rotterdam: what you can call us for
Toilet unblocking in Rotterdam
We quickly clear a toilet that will not flush in a ground-floor flat in Blijdorp or a gallery flat in Ommoord. Our engineer chooses the technique that suits the pipe, from hand snake to high-pressure jetting, and then checks that the toilet flushes powerfully again. So your toilet in Rotterdam is fully usable again in no time.
More about toilet unblockingDrain and sink unblocking in Rotterdam
In the pre-war homes of the Oude Noorden and Crooswijk, kitchen drains often run through old, narrow pipes with many bends. Grease and limescale build up there. We clean the drain from your sink, shower or washing machine along the entire run, so the water drains away smoothly again.

If the shower is bubbling or the garden drain in Hillegersberg or Pendrecht is full, the blockage is usually in the house connection. Our drain unblocking service jets the sewer through to the municipal sewer, on both the north and south banks of the Maas, so your drain in Rotterdam is clear again, even in the middle of the night.
More about sewer unblockingCCTV drain survey in Rotterdam
With an inspection camera we map the inside of your pipe. For the 1930s homes in Blijdorp and Lombardijen we use it to decide whether cleaning is enough or relining will keep the pipe going for years to come. You watch along live and, if you wish, receive a report, also when buying a home.

A leak in an apartment on the Kop van Zuid or an upstairs flat in the Oude Westen does not always start where the water becomes visible. With leak detection and a pressure test we find the real source, so the repair is precise and needs little breaking open. That way you are dry again in Rotterdam quickly.
More about leak detectionSewer smell in Rotterdam
A sewer smell in a Rotterdam home often comes from a trap that dries out, a loose connection in the crawl space or a soil stack vent that is not working properly. In older buildings in Katendrecht and Crooswijk, a forgotten drain can also be the source. We investigate precisely and make sure the air is fresh again.
