Sinks, baths, toilets, and external downpipes. Professional high-pressure and rod equipment. Diagnosis before action. For superficial blockages in sinks or basins, a cheap manual rod from a hardware store and half an hour of patience are usually sufficient. If the water starts to move, keep going. If after 30-45 minutes it is still blocked, call us. Insisting only worsens the situation because you push the blockage to a deeper point. The first step for the plumber is to find out where the blockage is. There is no point blindly using a rod if the blockage is two floors down. For this, we use an endoscopic inspection camera, a thin camera mounted on a flexible cable that travels through the pipe and shows on screen the exact point of the blockage and its nature. Hair, grease, plant root, foreign object, fragment of old construction.

For downpipes and multiple blockages (more than one bathroom affected, water backing up in one when you use another), always call a plumber. It's a common installation problem that requires professional tools and often coordination with neighbours. The most complex case is a downpipe blockage. The downpipe is the vertical pipe that collects wastewater from several floors in the same block. When it gets blocked, it usually affects several neighbours at once. This is where the high-pressure machine comes into play, capable of pushing water at 150 bar and clearing everything. It is the most effective equipment but also the most delicate. If the pipe has cracks or weak joints, the pressure can worsen things. For blocked toilets, a good quality plunger is worth having at home. This is the first intervention. If it doesn't clear after five to ten plunges, call a plumber. Forcing it further will break the toilet's wax seal, creating an additional problem.

The most common is the sink or basin U-bend. Solidified grease and soap form a soft plug that can be removed with a hand rod or with a mild chemical clean if the material is PVC. Caustic soda should not be used on old lead or copper pipes. It corrodes the metal and creates worse problems than the original. For toilets, a quality plunger is worth having at home. It's the first course of action. If it doesn't move after five to ten plunges, call the plumber. Forcing it further will break the toilet's wax seal, creating an additional problem. Only when the material allows and the situation requires it. We always prefer the mechanical method (rod, machine) as it does not damage pipes or seals.
