Common Drain & Sewer Problems in Kempton Park
Industrial waste and chemical discharge near the airport corridor
The logistics, warehousing, and light manufacturing zone between OR Tambo Airport and the R21 generates wash-down water, oil residue, and chemical waste that can corrode pipes and cause unusual blockages. We carry specialist flushing equipment and can advise on pre-treatment requirements to keep drainage compliant.
Root damage in Glen Marais and Aston Manor's older sections
Glen Marais and Aston Manor were developed in the 1970s and 1980s with generous plots and mature trees. Root intrusion into clay sewer pipes is a recurring issue — particularly from indigenous trees planted close to sewer runs. We cut roots mechanically and jet the line clean, then report on whether relining should be considered.
Guest house and B&B overloading near OR Tambo
Kempton Park has a high concentration of guest houses, B&Bs, and Airbnb properties serving airport travellers. These properties put significantly more load on residential drainage than a typical household — more showers, more laundry, more kitchen use. Sewer lines sized for a family of four can struggle with 10+ guests per night.
Flat terrain causing slow-draining sewer lines
Much of Kempton Park sits on the relatively flat East Rand plateau. Sewer lines laid at minimum gradient accumulate silt and paper debris over time, progressively narrowing until a complete blockage occurs. Annual preventative jetting is the most cost-effective way to avoid emergency callouts on flat-gradient runs.

Why Kempton Park's Location Creates Specific Drainage Demands
Kempton Park's identity is shaped by OR Tambo International Airport. The airport precinct and surrounding logistics corridor generate drainage demands that are fundamentally different from residential suburbs. Industrial floor drains carry heavier loads, need more frequent cleaning, and are subject to environmental compliance requirements. We understand these commercial drainage standards and service several facilities in the airport zone.
The residential side of Kempton Park spans three decades of development. Glen Marais and the original Kempton Park township date to the 1960s–70s, while Birch Acres, Aston Manor extensions, and the newer estates along the R21 are post-1990s. Pipe materials range from clay and asbestos cement in older sections to PVC in newer areas. Our vehicles carry equipment for all pipe types.
Kempton Park falls under the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality. Municipal sewer faults are handled by Ekurhuleni's water and sanitation department, not Johannesburg Water. We know the Ekurhuleni reporting process and can help property owners determine whether a blockage is on the private lateral or the municipal main — and escalate with the correct depot if it's a municipal problem.
Frequently Asked Questions — Kempton Park
Do you service industrial properties near OR Tambo Airport?
Yes. We provide drain cleaning, jetting, and CCTV inspections for warehouses, logistics facilities, and light industrial properties in the OR Tambo corridor, Spartan, and Isando. We understand the drainage compliance requirements for these facilities and can provide inspection reports for environmental audits.
How often should guest houses in Kempton Park have their drains cleaned?
Guest houses and B&Bs with high guest turnover should have main sewer lines jetted at least every 6 months, and kitchen waste lines quarterly. The higher-than-residential load means blockages develop faster. We offer maintenance contracts with priority emergency response for hospitality properties.
Is Kempton Park on Ekurhuleni or Johannesburg's sewer system?
Kempton Park is in Ekurhuleni. Municipal sewer issues are handled by the Ekurhuleni Municipality, not Johannesburg Water. We can confirm whether a blockage is on your private connection or the municipal main, and help lodge faults with the correct Ekurhuleni depot.
Can you do a pre-purchase drain inspection for a Kempton Park property?
Yes. A CCTV drain survey before purchasing a property in Kempton Park can reveal hidden problems — cracked pipes, root intrusion, collapsed sections, or incorrect connections. We provide a video recording and written report that you can share with your conveyancer or use in price negotiations.
What causes the drains to smell in some older Kempton Park suburbs?
Sewer odours in older suburbs like Glen Marais and Kempton Park central are usually caused by dried-out floor trap water seals, cracked inspection eyes, or missing manhole covers. We check all visible access points, re-seal or replace damaged fittings, and flush the line to confirm the smell is resolved.
