For superficial clogs in sinks or basins, a cheap manual drain snake from a hardware store and half an hour of patience are usually enough. If the water starts to move, keep going. If after 30-45 minutes it's still blocked, call us. Insisting only makes the situation worse because you push the blockage further down. The plumber's first step is to find out where the blockage is. There's no point inserting a drain snake blindly if the blockage is two floors down. For this, we use an inspection endoscope camera, a thin camera mounted on a flexible cable that travels through the pipe and shows the exact location and nature of the blockage on screen. Hair, grease, plant roots, foreign objects, fragments of old construction work.

The most complex case is a blockage in a downpipe. A downpipe is the vertical pipe that collects wastewater from several floors in the same building. When it gets blocked, it usually affects several neighbours at once. This is where a high-pressure machine comes in, capable of pushing water at 150 bar and clearing everything. It's the most effective equipment but also the most delicate. If the pipe has cracks or weak joints, the pressure can make things worse. For toilets that get blocked, the classic plunger only works if the blockage is superficial. When the blockage is deeper, in the toilet's internal trap or the first bend of the downpipe, you'll need a professional drain snake or a small rotary machine. It's good to know this because many people end up removing the entire toilet thinking it's the only way. It's actually the last resort. 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 common is the blockage in the sink or basin trap. Solidified grease and soap form a soft plug that can be removed with a manual drain snake or gentle chemical cleaning if the material is PVC. Caustic soda should not be used on old lead or copper pipes, as it corrodes the metal and creates worse problems than the original. For toilets, a good quality plunger is worth having at home. It's the first line of intervention. If it doesn't move after five to ten plunges, call the plumber. Forcing it further will break the toilet's wax seal and create an additional problem.
