Overview
Who is responsible for your drains in Schaerbeek?
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. Schaerbeek requires every building to be connected to the public sewer independently, through a sealed and accessible disconnection chamber placed on private land as close as possible to the public domain. 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 Schaerbeek? Call us, we answer in person.
Is the blockage on my side or in the public sewer in Schaerbeek?
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 Schaerbeek, ask Vivaqua.
Who is responsible for a sewer blockage in Schaerbeek?
In Schaerbeek, responsibility for a sewer blockage depends on its location. If the blockage is on your private land, including the required disconnection chamber, it's the owner's responsibility.
Does Schaerbeek require a specific type of sewer connection?
Yes, Schaerbeek's communal planning regulation (article 34, approved 30 September 2010) mandates that every building must connect to the public sewer independently. This connection must include a sealed and accessible disconnection chamber located on private land, as close as possible to the public domain. This ensures proper access for maintenance and inspection.
How much does drain unblocking cost in Schaerbeek?
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.
