For superficial blockages in sinks or washbasins, a cheap manual plumbing snake from the 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 blocked, call. Insisting only makes the situation worse because you push the blockage to a deeper point. The plumber's first step is to find out where the blockage is. There's no point blindly inserting a snake if the blockage is two floors down. For that, 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. Sinks, bathtubs, toilets, and external downpipes. Professional high-pressure equipment and plumbing snakes. Diagnosis before acting.

For blocked toilets, a classic plunger only works if the blockage is superficial. If the blockage is deeper, in the internal siphon of the toilet or the first bend of the downpipe, a professional plumbing snake 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 resort. 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. This inspection lasts between 15 and 30 minutes and allows the correct method to be chosen. It's a very useful intervention when the blockage is recurrent and we want to know if there's a structural problem behind it, such as a broken pipe or an incorrectly calculated gradient.

The most common is the one in the sink or washbasin trap. Solidified grease and soap form a soft plug that can be removed with a manual plumbing snake or with 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. For toilets, a quality plunger is worth having at home. This is the first intervention. If it doesn't move after five to ten plunges, call a plumber. Forcing it more will break the wax seal of the toilet and create an additional problem.
