Fast Drain Services Across Zemst
DrainResQ covers the entire Zemst municipality, including Zemst, Eppegem, Hofstade, Weerde, Elewijt, Zemst-Laar, and Zemst-Bos across postcodes 1980, 1981, and 1982. The area spans 43 km² between Brussels and Mechelen with varied housing and drainage systems. From terraced homes in Eppegem to rural farmhouses in Elewijt, we handle every case with same-day response and fixed pricing before work starts.
Zemst has two key drainage challenges. In Eppegem near the Zenne, lower-lying streets face groundwater pressure after heavy rain, which shifts clay pipe joints and leads to recurring blockages. In Elewijt, Zemst-Laar, and rural Hofstade, many homes rely on septic tanks (septische put) instead of mains sewer. When these fill up or inlet pipes block, wastewater backs up and requires emptying, not just unblocking.
Whether it is a blocked toilet in Weerde, grease build-up in an Eppegem kitchen drain, a slow shower in Hofstade, or a full septic tank in Elewijt, we provide same-day service with fixed pricing, plus jetting and CCTV inspection from one service van.

Common Drain Problems We Fix in Zemst
Zemst’s seven villages, from the Zenne-side streets of Eppegem to the rural areas of Elewijt and the lakeside homes near Hofstade, experience a consistent range of drainage problems. Below are the six issues we deal with most often.
Blocked Toilet or Slow Flushing
A toilet that drains slowly or overflows is usually caused by a blockage in the waste pipe. Older homes in Zemst and Elewijt can also suffer from scale buildup inside ageing pipework. We identify the cause and clear it quickly.
Slow Shower or Bath Drain
Hair, soap residue, and limescale gradually restrict water flow in bathroom drains. Professional jetting removes the buildup from the full pipe wall, restoring proper drainage.
Blocked Kitchen Sink or Outdoor Drain
Grease, food waste, and cooking oils are common causes of kitchen sink blockages. Outdoor drains and gullies can also become clogged with mud, leaves, and debris after heavy rain. We clear both efficiently with high-pressure jetting.
Drain Odours and Sewer Smells
Bad smells from sinks, drains, or outdoor inspection chambers can indicate a partial blockage, damaged pipe, or septic tank issue. We find the source of the problem and provide a lasting solution.
Recurring Drain Blockages
If the same drain keeps blocking, there is usually an underlying issue such as root intrusion, pipe damage, or a displaced joint. CCTV drain inspections allow us to pinpoint the exact cause.
Main Sewer Line Backup
When several drains stop working at once, the issue is often in the main sewer line. This requires urgent attention. Our team carries specialist jetting equipment to clear main sewer blockages in a single visit.
