Professional Blocked Drain Clearing in Midrand
A blocked drain can bring your home or business to a complete standstill. At Midrand Plumbing, our certified plumbers respond fast — day or night — with the professional equipment needed to clear any blockage quickly and completely, the first time.
We use high-pressure water jetting, drain rods, and CCTV camera technology to locate and clear blockages in every type of drain: kitchen sinks, bathroom basins, showers, bathtubs, toilets, floor drains, and outdoor stormwater drains.
Why Choose Midrand Plumbing for Blocked Drains
High-Pressure Water Jetting
Our powerful jetting equipment blasts through grease, roots, sludge, and solid obstructions — clearing the full bore of the pipe for lasting results.
Same-Day Emergency Response
We aim to have a plumber at your door within 60 minutes for emergency blocked drains in Midrand and surrounding areas, including evenings and weekends.
CCTV Diagnosis Available
For persistent or complex blockages, we use a drain camera to pinpoint the exact cause before clearing — no guesswork, no repeat visits.
All Drain Types Covered
Kitchen drains, bathroom drains, showers, toilets, main sewer lines, outdoor gullies, and stormwater drains — we unblock them all.
Common Causes of Blocked Drains
-
Grease & Fat Buildup The most common cause of blocked kitchen drains. Fat and grease cool and solidify inside pipes, gradually narrowing the flow until it stops completely.
-
Hair & Soap Scum Bathroom and shower drains frequently block from accumulated hair and soap residue that builds up over months of use.
-
Foreign Objects Wet wipes, sanitary products, cotton buds, and children's toys flushed down toilets cause severe and stubborn blockages.
-
Tree Root Intrusion Established trees send roots into underground pipes through cracks and joints, causing serious and recurring blockages.
-
Collapsed or Cracked Pipes Older properties often have deteriorated pipes that crack or sag — causing persistent drain blockages that clearing alone won't fix.

Frequently Asked Questions — Blocked Drains
How quickly can you clear a blocked drain in Midrand?
For emergencies we aim to respond within 60 minutes in Midrand and the areas we cover. Standard same-day appointments are also available. Call 073 707 8085.
How much does blocked drain clearing cost?
Cost depends on the type and severity of the blockage. We always provide a clear, fixed quote before starting — no hidden fees or surprise call-out charges.
What drain types do you unblock?
All drain types: kitchen sinks, bathroom basins, showers, bathtubs, toilets, floor drains, outside gullies, main sewer lines, and stormwater drains.
Can I unblock a drain myself?
Simple blockages can sometimes be cleared with a plunger. However, for stubborn or recurring blockages, professional high-pressure jetting is far more effective and prevents costly pipe damage.
Why does my drain keep blocking?
Recurring blockages usually indicate an underlying problem — root intrusion, a collapsed pipe, or a partial blockage not fully cleared. We use CCTV cameras to identify and fix the root cause permanently.
