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 blocked, call us. 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 located. There's no point in 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, plant roots, foreign objects, fragments of old construction. Call us, write us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll respond in less than 10 minutes during working hours.

This inspection takes between 15 and 30 minutes and allows us to choose the correct method. It's a very useful intervention when the blockage is recurrent and we want to know if there's an underlying structural problem, such as a broken pipe or a poorly calculated incline. 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 building. When it becomes 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 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 blocked toilets, the classic plunger only works if the blockage is superficial. When the blockage is deeper, in the internal siphon of the toilet or in the first bend of the downpipe, a professional rod or a 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 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 a plumber. Forcing it further will break the toilet's wax seal and create an additional problem. The most common is a blockage 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. 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.

It does not cover new blockages at other points. In my case, they did excellent tile and wall painting work at a good value for money.
