Amstelveen is the only place in our area where most homes are stacked, and that changes what goes wrong. In a flat your waste water runs through a stack you share with your neighbours. A blockage in that stack is rarely yours alone: the water comes out at the lowest connection in the column, which is often not the home where the blockage started. Anyone on the ground floor finding water in the shower tray without having done anything is almost always looking at a blockage higher up.
The building periods vary widely. Elsrijk has 1930s houses with cast-iron waste pipe that silts up from the inside. Bankras and Kostverloren have 1960s blocks whose stacks are now due for replacement. Westwijk is newer, where the drainage is sound but the dishwasher and washing machine connections are often makeshift.
In a flat it helps to know beforehand whether the problem sits inside your home or in the shared pipe: that decides whether the bill is yours or the owners association's. We say so on site, before any further work. We usually reach Amstelveen in 25 to 55 minutes.
Not an emergency, but you have a question?
Send a photo of the connection or the meter cupboard and we know which part to bring. Or leave your details in the form at the bottom of this page.

Questions about Amstelveen
How quickly can you be in Amstelveen?
Usually within 25 to 55 minutes. Amstelveen sits on the far side of the Bosbaan and the route runs via the N231 or the A9; in peak hours it takes longer.
Who pays for a blockage in a flat, me or the owners association?
If the blockage sits in the pipework inside your home, the bill is yours. If it sits in the shared stack, it is normally the owners association's. We establish where it sits on site and say so before any further work, so you know where to send the invoice.
Water is coming up in my shower and I have done nothing. How?
That points to a blockage in the shared stack higher up the building. The water seeks the lowest connection in the column, which is your shower drain. The problem is not in your home, even though that is where you see it.
