The company provides sewer unblocking, cleaning, inspection, repair, and maintenance services to both residential (particulieren) and business/industrial (bedrijven) customers, serving approximately 20 municipalities in the Tilburg region for residential work and operating across the Netherlands and Belgium for enterprise clients.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model with primary customer acquisition via telephone (013-4551569), supported by a content-rich website, Facebook presence, and word-of-mouth. Revenue is generated predominantly through professional service fees billed hourly or per job at transparent rates ranging from €25 (Navitrack) to €189.70 (NEN-3399-2 inspection bus per hour), with no call-out fees and no hidden costs. Additional revenue streams include equipment/material add-ons (camera inspection, milling, NaviTrack tracing) and sludge/waste transport fees (€25/m3). The company holds multiple sector certifications — NEN-3399-2, NEN-EN 13508-2, BRL K10014, SUF-RIB — and AGR registration enabling certified organic-waste transport.
