Blocked drain customers
The Plumbers Jhb’s drainage team arrived at my house in a timely manner. I had a blocked drain in my apartment, and it was not the first time it has happened so I knew it was time to call in the professionals as no over the counter solution had a long-lasting effect. The guys arrived with all the necessary tools and equipment to get the job done. The guys spent a good 45 minutes or so trying to unblock the drain the eventually got it right with the snake drain. They pulled out all sorts of things and disposed of them for me kindly. I was very impressed with the service received from them. I needed a good pipe cleaning! 😉

My drain had a terrible smell coming from it and a weird gurgling sound so I visited this page and knew I had to call Plumbers Jhb to come to solve this issue. It took maybe 5 minutes of them flushing out my drain and pouring an industrial drain cleaner down it. Very happy and they didn’t charge me an arm and a leg like most plumbing companies.
Definitely recommend these guys!

On Wednesday night I went down to the laundry room and noticed my drain was blocked. I called out the Plumbers Jhb’s emergency team and they determined my drain would need to be snaked and industrial detergent used. Unfortunately, they said that this poses a risk but the problem was so bad it was either this or a drain replacement. All the stores were closed and they had no stock of the detergent so would have to come back the next day. When I awoke the next day I had received several texts that they had purchased the detergent and were on their way to the job. The unclogging was roughly an hour. I have never received such good service in my life and will definitely be recommending drain unblocking services from Plumbers Jhb!
