Stand pipe cleaning

Are you suffering from a sewer smell in your home or work premises? If so, there may be something wrong with the venting or there may be a blockage. Down pipes are in fact the most important pipes of a sewer system. Therefore, it is wise to clean down pipes periodically to prevent a clogged sewer. Down pipes have an important function within the sewer system because these pipes provide the indoor sewer system with adequate aeration and venting. Want to clean down pipes and hire a reliable specialist? Then make an appointment with the certified technicians at RBNL!

How does sewer cleaning work?

Sewer cleaning involves cleaning the entire sewer system using a high-pressure machine or a combi truck. A combi truck consists of a high-pressure sprayer and a suction mechanism that loosens dirt and removes blockages from pipes. By cleaning the sewer system, blockages are prevented and incipient blockages are addressed. The down pipes, as mentioned earlier, are the main pipes of the sewer system. Therefore, you can also clean these specific pipes. Down pipes usually run from the lowest point of a house or building to the highest point. This highest point is up to above the roof. All lying pipes have a connection to this down pipe. Cleaning the down pipe begins at the highest point at the level of the roof. Through the vent opening, the pipe is cleaned and the down pipe is cleared of dirt and blockages. All of this requires a professional approach. Make an appointment online or by phone and have your down pipe cleaned by the certified technicians at RBNL.

Standpipe replacement over 7 floors

In a large apartment complex, we were faced with a complex problem. Several residents were experiencing leaks, sewer odor and sewer flies in several areas. The sewer company that had previously been called in could not solve the problem. Several sewer companies had even turned down the job. We, Rioolbeheer Nederland, were approached to offer help.

After thorough on-site investigation in Utrecht, we discovered that the down pipe, which stretched over seven floors, was damaged in as many as four places. This was determined through accurate smoke detection and camera inspection. Based on these findings, we prepared a detailed quote for the complete replacement of the down pipe. After the customer agreed to the quote, we got to work.

The work proceeded in the following steps:

  1. We thoroughly inspected the work site to determine the scope of work required.
  2. We prepared the worksite by placing protective covers and marking off the walls.
  3. To access the down pipe, we carefully broke down the wall in specific places.
  4. After removing debris and waste, we dismantled the old down pipe.
  5. The old down pipe was removed.
  6. We then carefully constructed the new down pipe.
  7. At the customer's request, we also installed a new aerator on the roof.


The result was impressive. We replaced the entire down pipe over seven floors and tested it extensively through our quality control, including smoke inspections and camera inspection. We can confirm with complete certainty that everything is functioning properly.

Thanks to our expertise and extensive work, we successfully solved this complex sewer problem. We are proud of the client's satisfaction and pleased that we were able to contribute to a healthier and functioning sewer system in the apartment complex.

Causes of a clogged down pipe

The most common cause of a blocked down pipe is slow clogging due to grease-oil, food particles, debris or hair remaining in the pipe. Objects such as leaves, twigs, pebbles and bird's nests can also get into the down pipe and reduce its drainage capacity. The annoying thing about a clogged down pipe is that the clog is not noticeable until it is very large. Therefore, it is advisable to clean the down pipe promptly. This not only extends the life of the down pipe, but also prevents the adhesion of grease, dirt and other residues to the inside of the pipe. Schedule your down pipe cleaning appointment online or by phone now and leave the task worry-free.
