The plumber's first step is to locate the blockage. There's no point blindly inserting a rod if the obstruction 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, displaying the exact location and nature of the blockage on screen. Hair, grease, plant roots, foreign objects, fragments of old construction. For superficial clogs in sinks or washbasins, an inexpensive 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's still blocked, call. Insisting only worsens the situation because you push the plug deeper. Sinks, bathtubs, toilets, and exterior downpipes. Professional high-pressure equipment and rods. Diagnosis before action.

This inspection lasts between 15 and 30 minutes and allows us to choose the correct method. It's a very useful intervention when a blockage is recurring and we want to know if there's an underlying structural problem, such as a broken pipe or incorrectly calculated slope. For blocked toilets, the classic plunger only works if the blockage is superficial. When the blockage is deeper, in the toilet's internal siphon or the first bend of the downpipe, a professional rod or small rotary machine is needed. It's important 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 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's the most effective equipment but also the most delicate. If the pipe has fissures or weak joints, the pressure can worsen the situation.

For toilets, a quality plunger is worth having at home. It's the first intervention. If after five to ten plunges it doesn't move, call a plumber. Forcing it further will break the toilet's wax seal, creating an additional problem. The most common is in the sink or washbasin trap. Solidified grease and soap form a soft plug that can be removed with a hand rod or a mild chemical cleaner 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. On Cronoshare, you can find the best professional painters in Sant Pere de Ribes | Quality for money.
