The first step for the plumber is to find out where the blockage is. There's no point blindly inserting 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 travels through the pipe and shows the exact point of the blockage and its nature on a screen: hair, grease, vegetable root, foreign object, fragment of old construction work. 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, keep going. If after 30-45 minutes it's still stuck, call. Pushing harder only worsens the situation because you force the plug to a deeper point.

The most complex case is a blocked downpipe. 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 bars and sweeping everything away. 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 overflowing toilets, the classic plunger only works if the blockage is superficial. When the blockage is deeper, in the internal siphon of the toilet 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 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.

The most common blockage is in the sink or basin siphon. Solidified grease and soap form a soft plug that can be removed with a manual rod or gentle chemical cleaning 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. It's the first intervention. If it doesn't move after five to ten plunges, call the plumber. Forcing it more will break the wax seal of the toilet, leading to an additional problem. Every handyman undergoes a verification that includes ID, valid self-employment status, and verification of prior experience in the sector. We also value feedback from other local clients to maintain a consistent level of quality.
