The plumber's first step is to find out where the blockage is. There's no point inserting a rod 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 root, foreign object, fragment from old construction. For superficial blockages in sinks or basins, a cheap manual rod from a hardware store and half an hour of patience are usually enough. If the water starts to move, continue. If after 30-45 minutes it's still stagnant, call. Insisting only makes the situation worse because you push the plug further down. Sinks, bathtubs, toilets, and external downpipes. Professional high-pressure equipment and rods. Diagnosis before action.

For blocked toilets, the classic suction 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, a professional rod or a 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. The most complex case is a blockage in the downpipe. The 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 the high-pressure machine comes into play, 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 downpipes and multiple blockages (more than one bathroom affected, water rising 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.

For toilets, a good quality suction plunger is worth having at home. It's the first intervention. If it doesn't move after five-ten pumps, call the plumber. Forcing it further will break the toilet's wax seal and create an additional problem. Only when the material allows and the case requires it. We always prefer the mechanical method (rod, machine) because it doesn't damage pipes or joints.
