Expert Drain Unblocking for Your Home
A blocked drain at home is more than an inconvenience. It can lead to unsanitary conditions, water damage, and costly repairs if left untreated. At Mr Drain Mr Sewer, we specialise in fast, effective residential drain unblocking across Johannesburg, getting your household back to normal with minimal disruption.
Our experienced technicians handle every type of domestic blockage, from kitchen sinks clogged with grease and food waste to shower drains blocked by hair and soap buildup. We use professional grade drain snakes, high pressure water jetting, and CCTV drain cameras to diagnose and clear blockages at the source, not just the symptom.
We understand that drain emergencies don't wait for business hours. That's why we offer 24/7 emergency callout for residential properties across greater Johannesburg, including Sandton, Midrand, Randburg, Fourways, and surrounding areas. Our fully equipped vehicles carry everything needed to resolve most blockages in a single visit.
Prevention is always better than cure. After clearing your drain, we'll advise you on how to keep it flowing freely and can set up a regular maintenance schedule to prevent future blockages. Our transparent pricing means no surprises. You'll know the cost before we start work.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
We offer same day service across Johannesburg. For emergencies, we aim to arrive within 1 to 2 hours. Our 24/7 availability means we can help even outside business hours, on weekends, and on public holidays.
The most common causes are grease and food buildup in kitchen drains, hair and soap scum in bathroom drains, tree root intrusion in underground pipes, and foreign objects accidentally flushed down toilets. Older properties with clay pipes are particularly prone to root intrusion.
Costs vary depending on the severity and location of the blockage. Simple blockages start from a competitive callout fee. We always provide a clear quote after initial assessment, before starting any work. There are no hidden charges.
In most cases, no. We use non invasive methods like high pressure jetting and mechanical drain snakes that clear blockages through existing access points. Only in rare cases of severely damaged pipes would excavation be needed, and we'd discuss this with you first.
Yes. If the same blockage returns within 30 days of our service, we'll return and clear it again at no additional charge. We also recommend CCTV inspection for recurring blockages to identify any underlying pipe damage.
