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.
