Proactive Drain Care
Prevention Is Better Than an Emergency
The most cost effective approach to drain management is preventing blockages before they happen. Mr Drain Mr Sewer offers scheduled preventative maintenance programmes for homes, businesses, and strata properties across Johannesburg, keeping your drains flowing freely and avoiding costly emergency callouts.
Our preventative maintenance service includes regular high pressure jetting to remove buildup before it becomes a blockage, CCTV inspections to identify developing issues like root intrusion or pipe deterioration, and grease trap cleaning for commercial kitchens. We create a customised maintenance schedule based on your property's specific needs and usage patterns.
For residential properties, we recommend annual or bi annual maintenance to clear accumulated grease, soap, and organic matter from your drain lines. For restaurants, food outlets, and commercial properties with heavy drain usage, quarterly or monthly maintenance is essential to prevent disruptions and maintain health code compliance.
Our maintenance clients enjoy priority response times should an emergency arise, discounted rates on all services, and detailed records of their drain system's condition over time. Many of our clients have gone years without a single blocked drain thanks to their proactive maintenance programme.

A typical maintenance visit includes high pressure jetting of main drain lines, CCTV inspection to check pipe condition, cleaning of drain traps and gullies, and a written condition report. For commercial clients, we also service grease traps and interceptors.
An emergency drain callout typically costs 3 to 5 times more than a scheduled maintenance visit. Add in potential water damage repair costs, business downtime, and health code penalties, and preventative maintenance pays for itself many times over.
