Overview
Who is responsible for your drains in Etterbeek?
Every Brussels commune handed the management of its sewer network to Vivaqua in 2011, and Vivaqua’s responsibility starts at the outer boundary of the subscriber’s cadastral parcel and ends at the sewer. Waste water is then treated by Hydria. The pipe that runs from your home to the connection stays private. A blockage can therefore sit in an indoor drain, in your connection or in the public sewer. The first step is to locate it, with a camera if needed: that is what decides who takes the job on. Etterbeek is 84 percent sealed surface, the most impermeable of these communes, so a downpour reaches the drains almost undiminished. Its building regulation still sets drain falls between 3 and 5 centimetres per metre. For a Brussels sewer connection Vivaqua requires the owner of the building to dig the trench and lay the penetration sleeve or connection bend inside the private plot. A written agreement fixes the boundary between the public and private network and who maintains which part.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
A question about drain unblocking in Etterbeek? Call us, we answer in person.
Is the blockage on my side or in the public sewer in Etterbeek?
If only one drain is slow, the blockage is usually in the pipes inside the home. If several drains back up at the same time and the inspection chamber is full, the blockage is further along, beyond the house. A camera inspection pinpoints the exact spot relative to the property boundary; for where that boundary lies in Etterbeek, ask Vivaqua.
What if the blockage is caused by tree roots in Etterbeek?
Tree roots can aggressively infiltrate sewer lines, especially in older areas or properties with mature trees.
How much does drain unblocking cost in Etterbeek?
Depending on the blockage and technique, from €63.60 incl. VAT (6 % for homes over 10 years old, otherwise 21 %).
When should you call a drain technician straight away?
Call if waste water backs up or several fixtures drain slowly at once, and avoid reaching for chemical drain cleaners again and again.
