Causes of a Drain Blockage

Is the water in your sink not draining properly, and are you experiencing unpleasant odors? Then the drain is likely clogged. A clogged drain can have various causes. Often, a blockage is caused by an accumulation of waste, soap, or lime residue on the inside of the drain. Additionally, hair ending up in the drain can also result in a clogged drain.

Objects such as pins, elastic bands, cotton swabs, and small pieces of paper can also lead to a drain blockage. Are you dealing with a clogged drain and looking for a plumber for drain unblocking in Amsterdam? Then call unblocking company RBNL Amsterdam and have your drain unblocked in Amsterdam by our recognized, reliable, and skilled plumbers.

How does the unclogging process work?

Our technicians assess where and why the drain is clogged. Sometimes this can be done with a simple small inspection, but it may also be necessary to perform a camera inspection if the blockage is deeper in the pipes. Afterward, professional equipment is used to remove the dirt or buildup, for example, with a mechanical spring machine or high-pressure sprayer. This way, the water can flow away again. Afterward, the technician tests whether the drain is completely clear and provides advice on how to prevent future clogs.

Should the inspection reveal a break or sag in the sewer system, our specialists can also assist you with repairs or replacement of the affected pipe sections. This means you don't have to look for another party yourself.

Tips for Unblocking Your Drain

For small and superficial clogs in your drain, you might try to fix them yourself. However, clogs are often stubborn and located deeper, requiring expertise and professional equipment to fully resolve the issue. Also, attempting to fix it yourself can sometimes push a clog deeper into the sewer system.

That's why we recommend calling a specialist immediately if you notice your drain isn't working properly. This will save you a lot of time, effort, and frustration. If you do decide to try it yourself, here are a few tips:

Use Water

First, you can try to clear the blockage by pouring buckets of lukewarm water down the drain. If you see a whirlpool forming, it's often a sign that the drain is no longer blocked.

Flush the Drain with Water and Baking Soda

If water alone isn't enough to clear the blockage, you can flush the drain with a mixture of warm water and baking soda. Baking soda is a natural agent that can loosen and dissolve dirt in the drain.

Unclog the Drain with Dish Soap

Dish soap can also help clear a blockage. This method is most effective when the drain is clogged by grease. Pour a bucket of warm water and dish soap down the drain and let it sit for half a day. After this time, you can open the tap to check if the water drains properly again.

Clean the S-trap

Some clogs are caused by a blockage inside or just behind the U-bend (siphon). You can solve these types of clogs by disconnecting the U-bend and removing the blockage. When disconnecting, don't forget to place a bucket underneath the U-bend to catch water and debris. Then clean the U-bend with water and soda to ensure it's free of any remaining residue.

This method of unclogging can be used for both kitchen sinks and bathroom sinks. For bathroom sinks, be careful not to use boiling water, as this can crack the porcelain.

Use a plunger or a drain snake

If the above methods don't work, you can try to clear the drain with a drain snake or a plunger. Frequent or incorrect use can cause damage to the drain. Therefore, try the methods above first before using drain-clearing tools.

If you can't unblock the drain yourself in Amsterdam, or if you simply don't have the time, our friendly professionals are here to help. Contact us, schedule an appointment, and before you know it, your drain will be flowing perfectly again!

Why your drain often gets clogged

A drain can become clogged for several reasons. For example, hair, food scraps, soap residue, and limescale can build up in the pipes, leading to a blockage. It's also possible that the clog is caused by small items like hairpins, elastic bands, or even cotton swabs that have fallen into the drain. It's best to address a developing clog as quickly as possible. Here are some tips for preventing clogs:

  1. Place a drain strainer over the drain opening. This strainer will keep food scraps and other blockages out of the drain. Empty the strainer into the trash when it's full. This is also a good tip for shower drains.
  2. You can also make sure that objects like pins and cotton swabs don't accidentally end up in the drain, as this can lead to blockages. 
  3. You can regularly clean shower drains and sinks by removing trapped hair and rinsing the drains with water and baking soda, which reduces the chance of a blockage. 


If you are still dealing with a blockage and want to call in a specialist, make an appointment with RBNL; our emergency plumbers are available 24/7. We will properly unblock your drain in Amsterdam.
