Reporting to the municipality of Leidschendam-Voorburg
Blockage in municipal ground
A blocked sewer in municipal land should be reported to the municipality; outside office hours as an emergency via 14 070. You can also report via the Zo Gemeld app. For a new connection, the municipality does not permit rainwater to be discharged into the sewer.
We could not find on the municipality's website exactly where the boundary between your pipe and the municipality's lies in Leidschendam-Voorburg. If in doubt, check with the municipality. During an inspection, we record how many metres from the façade the problem is located, with images, so you can have that conversation with the facts.

Beach ridge, peat and three types of neighbourhood
Voorburg lies largely on the old beach ridge: sandy soil, with villas and townhouses from the early twentieth century and avenues with large trees. There we mainly see root ingress in old connections. Leidschendam and the neighbourhoods along the Vliet lie lower, on wet peat soil, where the ground subsides and connections come loose. In Stompwijk and the polders, the distances to the main sewer are large and the ground is soft.
Post-war neighbourhoods such as Prinsenhof, De Heuvel and Damsigt often have maisonette flats and terraced houses with a shared drain. A break there affects multiple households, and the owners' association (VvE) or landlord is then often the client.
How we tackle a sewer break in Leidschendam-Voorburg
- Call or WhatsApp. You tell us what you see. A photo of the subsidence, the manhole or the crawl space helps us assess what's needed.
- Camera inspection. We go into the pipe with the camera and determine with metre counter and transmitter where the fracture is and whether it's on your property or in the public section.
- Clarity about who is responsible. If the problem is on the municipality's side, we'll tell you and you'll receive the footage for your report.
- Price upfront and repair. If it's on your property, you'll receive a price and we'll carry out targeted repairs. Afterwards we check the result with the camera.
What we pay attention to in Leidschendam-Voorburg
- Tree-lined streets in Voorburg: roots in the connection. After unblocking, we inspect with the camera to see how far the roots have penetrated.
- Houses by the water and in rural areas: the drain sometimes runs via a pump or a long pipe; that requires a different approach.
- Ground-floor flats: sewer smell or a gurgling toilet at the downstairs neighbours' can indicate a problem in the shared pipe.
- Stompwijk and surrounding area: often a pressure sewer or pumping station. We do not open these ourselves if they belong to the municipality.

Questions about a sewer burst in Leidschendam-Voorburg
Where do I report a blocked sewer in Leidschendam-Voorburg?
With the municipality, if the blockage is on municipal land. Outside office hours, that's an emergency report via 14 070; you can also report via the Zo Gemeld app.
Is the sewer under my garden mine?
Usually yes: in virtually all municipalities the pipe on your own property belongs to the owner. If in doubt, check with the municipality of Leidschendam-Voorburg where exactly the boundary lies. We document the location of the break with images.
I have an old villa in Voorburg with trees. Should I be worried?
Not directly, but an old connection pipe with trees nearby is vulnerable to roots. If the drain runs slowly or a blockage recurs, have the pipe inspected with the camera.
How quickly can you be in Voorburg or Leidschendam?
For a blocked drain, we try to come the same day. Call 070 783 0224.
