Drain Blockage Clearing in KL & Selangor
Slow drains, backed-up floor traps or an overflowing manhole? Here are the warning signs, the common causes, and how we clear a drain blockage properly — not just for a week.
About This Service
Reliable, compliant and professionally executed
A drain blockage in a condominium, factory, hotel or restaurant rarely starts at the sink. Most serious blockages sit further down the line, in the branch pipes, main sewer or sump, where grease, silt, roots or debris build up over months until the flow stops.
The warning signs are water backing up in floor traps, gurgling drains, foul smells inside the premises, several fixtures draining slowly at once, or drains that block again shortly after rodding. When you see these, the lasting fix is industrial high pressure water jetting, which scours the whole pipe bore clean. Where a pipe may be cracked or collapsed, we confirm it with a CCTV pipe inspection before recommending repairs. Blockages that keep reaching a sewage treatment plant are also covered under our STP maintenance programmes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes a drain blockage in commercial buildings?
The usual causes are grease and food waste from kitchens, silt and sludge in storm drains and sumps, tree roots entering pipe joints, scale build-up in older pipes, and items like wipes, rags and construction debris.
Can I clear a blocked drain myself?
Small sink or floor-trap blockages can sometimes be cleared with a plunger. If several drains are slow at the same time, a manhole is overflowing, or the blockage keeps coming back, the problem is further down the line and needs high pressure water jetting.
Why does my drain keep blocking again?
Rodding only punches a hole through the blockage. Grease, scale or roots stay on the pipe walls and catch new debris. Water jetting scours the full pipe bore, and a CCTV inspection can confirm whether a cracked or sagging pipe is the real cause.
Is a drain blockage an emergency?
It is when sewage is backing up into the premises or overflowing from a manhole, because of the health risk and possible compliance issues. Akelus Eco responds 24/7 across KL and Selangor.
