Blocked Drain & Drain Cleaning Hermanus | Emergency Drain Service, Licensed Plumber

About Our Drains & Sewage Services in Hermanus

Hermanus is the premier coastal town of the Overberg region, famous for whale watching, wine estates, and a growing residential community of retirees and families. The town stretches along Walker Bay from Voelklip to the Old Harbour, with residential areas climbing the slopes behind. This coastal-mountainous setting creates specific drainage challenges.

Abacas Solution provides professional drain and sewage services to Hermanus and the surrounding Overberg area. The town's proximity to the coast means salt air corrosion can affect older metal pipe fittings, while the fynbos-covered hillsides above town channel significant stormwater during winter rains. Properties near the cliff path and along the lower slopes face both runoff from above and a high water table during wet months.

Hermanus has experienced significant growth in recent years, with new developments in Fernkloof and Westcliff placing increased demands on the town's drainage infrastructure. Whether you have a holiday home that needs pre-season drain checks or a permanent residence with a sewer issue, call 067 071 9472.

As part of our Hermanus plumbing team, we bring over 25 years of hands-on experience to every job in Hermanus.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide drain services in Hermanus?

Yes, we serve Hermanus and the Overberg coast. Call 067 071 9472 to arrange service. We handle both emergency callouts and scheduled maintenance.

Can you check drains at my Hermanus holiday home before the season?

Yes, we offer pre-season drain inspections and maintenance for holiday properties. CCTV inspection and jetting before peak season prevents embarrassing and costly drain failures when you have guests.

Does the coastal environment affect drains in Hermanus?

Yes, salt air causes corrosion of metal pipe fittings and connections over time. The maritime environment also brings higher moisture levels that encourage root growth toward pipes. Regular inspection catches these issues early.

Why do fynbos roots cause drain problems?

Fynbos species, particularly the proteoid and ericoid shrubs common above Hermanus, develop extensive root systems adapted to seek water in dry conditions. These roots find and exploit any small crack or joint gap in drain pipes.

Do you cover Stanford and Kleinmond too?

Yes, we service the wider Overberg coast including Hermanus, Stanford, Kleinmond, Betty's Bay, and Onrus. Call 067 071 9472 for service.
