Sewer unblocking Laak (The Hague): wc or drain blocked?

Ground and sewer in Laak (The Hague): low-lying with extensive pumping; during heavy rain, water enters cellars and crawl spaces more quickly. Characteristic of Laak (The Hague): pre-war workers' houses and commercial buildings, with narrow crawl spaces and old drains.

The soil in Laak (The Hague) is soft. This can cause external sewers to subside unevenly, and in such a dip water and waste remain standing: the classic cause of a blockage that keeps recurring. Homes with a cellar, basement or low crawl space lie lower than the street. If the sewer fills up, the water rises there first; a clear, free-flowing pipe then makes all the difference. Older properties often still have clay pipes or cast-iron drains. We treat those with care: pushing through too hard can break an old pipe, and a camera shows the condition of the pipe. We also unblock and inspect commercial drains, in consultation about timing, so that work can continue with minimal disruption.

What we most often encounter in Laak (The Hague) in this area: leaking drains under the floor and subsided external sewers. We also frequently attend for water in crawl spaces.
