Sinks, bathtubs, toilets and external downpipes. Professional high-pressure and rodding equipment. Diagnosis before action. For superficial blockages in sinks or washbasins, a cheap manual rod from a hardware store and half an hour's patience are usually sufficient. 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 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 screen. Hair, grease, plant roots, foreign object, fragment of old construction.

For toilets that get blocked, the classic plunger only works if the blockage is superficial. When the blockage is deeper, in the internal toilet trap or the first bend of the downpipe, a professional rod or small rotary machine is needed. It's useful 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 a downpipe. A 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 things. 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 a poorly calculated gradient.

Solidified grease and soap form a soft blockage that is removed with a manual rod or with 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.
