Emergency plumber Amsterdam
In case you are looking for an emergency plumber near me, our plumbers will show up as soon as possible to minimize the damage done by the leakage problem. Our first priority is to stop the water from flooding and first offering you a temporary solution. This will give us the time we need to come up with an effective, durable solution to the plumbing problem. This may be an easy fix, but in some cases we might have to plan more thorough proceedings such as repairing or renewing a part of the sewer system. Unfortunately this can be a costly project, but we are here to help you for the best value for money.
Do it yourself plumber tips
On a brighter note: the problems we face can often be solved easily. However, it is best to ask a professional plumber to unclog your toilet or sink instead of trying to fix this by yourself. We often face damage to sewers and drainage pipes that was accidentally caused by the home owner when he or she tried to solve a minor problem. With no education it is hard to know exactly how to use the products or tools that are used to solve blockages and leakage. By incorrect use of these materials, people can actually increase the damage, thus raising the costs of fixing the initial problem. Incorrect use can include using too much or too little force, using the wrong tools or using chemicals when this is not safe to use on a certain surface.
There are a few safe ways to try and solve minor problems like a wc blockage or clogged sink. These blockages are often caused by lumps of hair, filth and water that grow large enough to block a part of the sewer or drain. A mix of baking soda and natural vinegar poured into the pipe will attach to the lump and eventually remove it from the wall. It may be necessary to let the soda and vinegar attach to the filth for an entire night before flushing it away with hot water the next day. This natural solution is a safe way to solve blockages and is preferred over using chemicals to drain sinks and toilets. These chemical fluids that are often promoted as effective unclogging tools can actually harm your sewer and drain by damaging the walls. Products like this are so powerful they will likely dissolve what blocked the toilet or sink, but also have a big risk of finding its way through the sewer or drain itself.
Blocked toilet? Try using a plunger
Another old and popular do-it-yourself technique to solve a clogged toilet or sink is to use the plunger. This may require some strength, but perhaps you will be able to move the blockage upwards so it can be removed manually. Plungers are sold at most hardware stores and offer a cheap solution to minor clogging problems. However, both of these techniques might not do the trick in case of a severe blockage. In that case, look for drain unclogging near me and make sure to get help from our clogged drain service by calling PCS Totaal Services: 020-693 0699. Our plumbers have all the professional tools and techniques to safely solve all kinds of sewer and drainage problems. Not only do we use safe, non-damaging techniques, we also make sure we offer you a durable solution. This includes investigating the cause of the problems with the use of modern tools.
Inspecting sewer systems will catch problems early on
Our plumber in Amsterdam Netherlands has all the tools to inspect the entire sewer system, thus finding the cause of recurring errors that can cause a main sewer line clog. With a remote controlled camera we can inspect every part and angle of the sewer and locate any damage that needs to be fixed. With the help of this scope we can inform you about the state of your sewer system and advise you on what needs to be done for a durable solution. Another technique we often use for inspecting sewer systems is the use of a smoke generator in order to locate leakages. By filling the sewer with smoke, we will quickly notice even tiny gaps in the walls, because this is where the smoke will escape out of the sewer. This enables us, as a professional plumbing business Amsterdam, to locate and repair even minor damage and keep the sewer system in perfect condition.
What to do when the toilet is stopped up
It’s more than just inconvenient when your toilet is clogged, so of course you’re looking for a plumber in Amsterdam that can help you as soon as possible. PCS Totaal Services is located in Amsterdam and offers a 24/7 plumbing service. When you have no other toilet to use, you’re welcome to use our emergency service. Our plumber will visit your place as soon as possible and solve the problem. But what’s even better is avoiding a clogged up toilet. That’s why we have some important advice for all home owners and renters!
In most cases the cause of a clogged sewer line is the disposal of objects that don’t belong there. Many people are unaware of how the sewer system works and what it’s limitations are. It is used to flush water, feces and toilet paper, but people often flush many other items through the toilet. These objects can get stuck in the sewer and cause a blockage or even damage the sewage. So in many cases, a drain pipe clogged is the result of incorrect use of the toilet or sink. Be aware not to flush pads, tampons, make-up wipes or even wet toilet paper through the WC. The latter is a commonly made mistake: even though wet toilet paper is being advertised as safe to flush, it contains microplastics that take too much time to dissolve, thus causing problems in the sewer system.
Toilet sink clogged because of frying fat
Another common example of incorrect use of the toilet or sink is flushing frying fat through the drain. Even though this seems like an easy way to get rid of this gooey fluid, the fat will most likely end up sticking to the sewage and become the start of a problematic blockage that is built up from fat, filth, hair, soap or toilet paper. So instead of risking clogging your toilet or sink, pour the used frying fat back into the original package and bring it to one of the collecting points in your area. These can be found in larger grocery stores, but Amsterdam also has plenty of recycling points where you can safely dispose old frying fat.
While it doesn’t cause as much damage as frying fat, grease from frying pans can also eventually cause a main drain clog. Our expert plumbers recommend you to wipe the pans before washing them or putting them in the dishwasher, so you remove as much as grease as possible. Dispose the wipes in the trash bin and prevent damage to the drains and needing an expensive sewer repair in the near future!
Is annual maintenance cleaning for drainage pipes necessary?
Besides responsible use of the toilet, sink and drains, a sewer system requires maintenance to keep it in good condition. Cleaning the drainage pipes is something you can do yourself by pouring a mix of baking soda and natural vinegar into it. Let this mix of natural products do its job for a few hours before flushing it with hot water. This is how you get the best result and dissolve minor obstructions quickly and safely. When there are no noticeable problems with the drains, it is fine to do this just once a year. But a drain clean out for the sewer system is a more thorough job that requires a professional plumber in Amsterdam. At PCS Totaal Services, your go to address for drain cleaning near me, we recommend maintenance cleaning for the sewer once every 3-5 years. This way we manage to dissolve minor blockages before they’re able to cause any problems, thus saving you from high bills and inconvenience! We also notice damage in an early stage during maintenance, making it easier and less expensive to fix. Make an appointment for a maintenance cleaning by calling us: 020-693 0699 or fill in the online form for plumbing services.

If you are the proud owner, or new renter, of a house and you don’t have information about the condition of the sewer system, we recommend doing a sewer scope inspection. This way we can take a good look at every part of the sewer system, thus noticing any abnormalities that could cause problems in the short or long term. Followed by a professional sewer cleanout, you’re guaranteed that the sewer system is now in perfect condition and ready to serve you for the upcoming years ahead!

Sewer contractors near me for a sewer renovation
In unfortunate cases, the cause of a main drain clog lies much deeper and requires a total sewer renovation. A collapsed sewer, for example, requires a complete renewal of the sewerage pipe. Collapsed sewers can often be found underneath old houses, as a result of the house slowly sagging. But even in modern houses the sewage can be badly damaged. For example, by roots from trees digging through them. Instead of fixing local damage done to the system, we will need to renew the entire sewer line in these situation..
