Drain Cleaning and Unblocking Services in Randburg and Surrounding Areas
Contact UsA blocked drain is one of the most disruptive plumbing problems — because it affects daily life immediately. You can’t shower properly, the kitchen sink won’t drain, the toilet struggles to flush, or an outside gully starts overflowing. Destiny Plumbing provides blocked drain clearing and drain cleaning in Randburg and surrounding areas, helping homeowners, complexes, and small businesses get the issue fixed quickly and properly.
Some blockages are sudden and obvious, like a toilet that stops working after something goes down that shouldn’t. Others build up slowly over time. Kitchens often block from grease and food residue. Bathrooms often block from hair and soap build-up. Outside drains can block from leaves, sand, and general debris — and in some cases, root intrusion can become a recurring issue.
The important thing is that not every blockage should be treated the same way. A quick “poke and hope” might get water moving for a day, but if the line is still coated with build-up, you’ll be back to square one soon. That’s why we don’t only focus on unblocking — we also focus on drain cleaning, which helps remove the build-up and reduce repeat blockages.
We handle blocked drains in homes, complexes, and business premises. In complexes, drainage issues can sometimes affect multiple units and shared lines, so it helps to identify the right access points and isolate the problem properly. In homes, the issue might be in a branch line (kitchen/bathroom) or further down the main line — and the symptoms can look the same until you inspect properly.
If you’re searching for drain unblocking in Randburg because water is backing up, smells are coming through, or the problem keeps returning, we can help get it sorted in a way that actually lasts.
Common Blocked Drain Callouts We Handle
Blocked Toilet (Not Flushing / Overflowing)
A blocked toilet is urgent and unpleasant — and it usually needs proper clearing, not repeated flushing and hoping it goes away. We clear the blockage safely and restore normal flow.
Blocked Shower or Bath Drain
If the shower tray fills up quickly or drains slowly, it’s often hair and soap build-up. We clear it thoroughly and clean the line so the slow drain doesn’t return immediately.
Blocked Kitchen Sink
Kitchen sinks commonly block from grease, oils, and food residue. We clear the blockage and remove build-up in the line so the sink drains freely again.
Outside Drain Overflowing (Gullies / Stormwater)
Overflowing outside drains can be caused by debris, sand, leaves, or a blockage in the main line. We clear the blockage and stabilise flow to stop the overflow and smells.
Bad Drain Smells and Gurgling Sounds
Bad smells and gurgling often mean there’s a restriction in the line or poor flow. Clearing and cleaning the drain usually resolves it, and we’ll point out the likely cause to prevent repeats.
Drain Cleaning vs Drain Unblocking
Drain Unblocking
This is the urgent fix — clearing the blockage so water can flow again.
Drain Cleaning
This is the longer-term fix — removing the build-up that causes repeat blockages (especially in kitchen and bathroom lines).
Many clients call us after the “quick fix” didn’t last. Drain cleaning is often what stops the cycle.
Main Sewer Line Blockages & Recurring Backups
If multiple drains in the home start acting up at the same time — like the toilet gurgling when the shower runs, sinks draining slowly together, or an outside gully overflowing — the blockage may be in the main sewer line rather than just a single fixture.
In these cases, clearing only the nearest drain often gives temporary relief, but the backup returns because the restriction is deeper in the system.
We inspect the symptoms properly, use the best access point, clear the main line blockage, and restore normal flow so the entire property drains the way it should.
Sewer Line Repairs for Damaged Sections
Some drain problems keep coming back because the line itself is compromised — for example, older pipe sections, joint issues, or sections that have shifted over time.
When a blockage repeats in the same pattern, or the outside drain overflows even after clearing, it can be a sign that a repair is needed rather than repeated unblocking.
We assess the likely cause, explain the most practical repair approach, and repair the affected section neatly so you’re not stuck in a cycle of repeat callouts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common signs include slow draining sinks or showers, gurgling sounds, bad smells, water backing up, toilets that struggle to flush, and outside drains overflowing — especially after you use water in the home.
Yes. We unblock toilets, sinks, showers, baths, and outside drains, and we also handle drain cleaning for repeat blockage issues.
Stop flushing immediately. If possible, turn off the water supply to the toilet (there’s usually a valve near the cistern). Keep the area clear and contact us so we can clear the blockage safely and restore normal flow.
Outside overflows can be caused by debris, leaves, sand, or a blockage in the main line. Sometimes it happens after heavy rain if stormwater lines are blocked. We clear the blockage and restore flow so the overflow stops.
Yes. We regularly work in complexes and townhouses. Shared lines and access points can make it tricky if it isn’t handled properly, so we inspect carefully and use the right access point for the job.
Cost depends on what’s blocked, how accessible the line is, how severe the blockage is, and whether drain cleaning is needed after clearing. Once we assess the situation, we explain the most practical solution and pricing clearly.
