Septic tanks and drainage in Randburg
Randburg is one of the older northern suburbs, and many homes in Ferndale, Blairgowrie and Bromhof have old drains rather than septic tanks, so blockages from roots, grease and ageing clay pipes are the usual complaint. Conservancy tanks still serve a few properties and small business parks, and plots towards Northgate and the Magaliesberg road use septic systems. Mature gardens mean roots enter pipe joints. Drain unblocking and CCTV inspections are common here, alongside regular pump-outs. Operators serve the area from Strijdom Park, Honeydew and Midrand and generally arrive within a day. Ask for a camera inspection when a drain blocks repeatedly.
Typical septic tank drainage requests in the area come from:
- Houses: diagnosing a wet lawn and slow drains at an older house on a septic tank
- Restaurants, shops and offices: diagnosing fields at shops, restaurants and filling stations where trading must continue
- Smallholdings and plots: repairing or enlarging a field on a smallholding where the soil is heavy or the water table high
- Estates and complexes: inspecting shared fields for a complex, with a written report for the body corporate
- Schools, churches and clinics: assessing large fields at schools, churches and clinics before a long holiday
- Factories, mines, sites and events: inspecting and rebuilding drainage for site offices, depots and factory ablutions
