Pijnacker-Nootdorp lies in the peat meadow area between Delft, The Hague and Zoetermeer. The ground subsides here faster than in large parts of the country. That is precisely the situation in which sewer connections sag and break. If the problem is in your section, we will help you further; if it is the municipality's, you will receive the footage for your report.

How Pijnacker-Nootdorp regulates this
Up to the property boundary it is yours
According to the municipality you are yourself responsible up to the property boundary for clearing a blockage. At the property boundary there is usually an access point for this. If it is full of water, the blockage is in the municipal section and you call 14 015, also outside office hours.
If the blockage is in the municipal section, according to the municipality you are eligible for reimbursement of your costs, via the liability claim form. In case of incorrect use the municipality recovers the costs from the user.

If you want to reclaim costs from the municipality, a clear invoice and the camera footage showing the location of the problem are your best evidence. You receive these from us after the inspection.
Peat soil that subsides
The municipal sewerage plan states that the ground in the west of the Netherlands subsides faster due to peat soil compaction. Residents of Pijnacker, Nootdorp and Delfgauw notice this in their gardens and on the street. For the sewer, this means that the pipe between the house (on piles) and the main sewer gradually becomes misaligned.
The sewerage plan also states that residents in neighbourhoods with a separate system and in new-build properties must discharge rainwater separately. In newer neighbourhoods such as Ackerswoude in Pijnacker and Emerald in Delfgauw, two systems therefore run side by side. A downpipe connected to the foul water sewer, or vice versa, causes problems there that resemble a blockage.

How we tackle a sewer break in Pijnacker-Nootdorp
- 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 look out for in Pijnacker-Nootdorp
- Raised gardens and driveways: due to subsidence, raising often takes place; the extra weight presses on an already sagging pipe.
- Older centres of Pijnacker and Nootdorp: older connections, sometimes made of stoneware, with a risk of cracks near the façade.
- Delfgauw: belongs to this municipality, not to Delft. So use 14 015 for Pijnacker-Nootdorp.
- Two systems: when there is a problem, we always check whether rainwater and wastewater are connected to the correct sewer.
