Sinks, bathtubs, toilets, and exterior downpipes. Professional high-pressure and rod equipment. Diagnosis before action. The plumber's first step is to find out where the blockage is. There's no point blindly pushing 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 runs through the pipe and shows the exact point of the blockage and its nature on screen. Hair, grease, plant roots, foreign objects, fragments of old construction. For superficial blockages in sinks or washbasins, a cheap manual plumbing snake from a hardware store and half an hour of patience are usually enough. If the water starts to move, you continue. If after 30-45 minutes it's still stuck, call. Insisting only worsens the situation because you push the plug to a deeper point.

The most complex case is a blocked downpipe. A downpipe is the vertical pipe that collects wastewater from several flats 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 bars and dragging 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 clogged toilets, the classic plunger only works if the blockage is superficial. When the blockage is deeper, in the internal toilet trap or in the first bend of the downpipe, a professional rod or small rotary machine is needed. It's good to know this because many people end up removing the entire toilet thinking it's the only way. In reality, it's the last option. For downpipes and multiple blockages (more than one bathroom affected, water rising in one when you use another), always call a plumber. It is a common installation problem that requires professional tools and often coordination with neighbours.
