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, plant roots, foreign objects, fragments of old construction. For superficial clogs in sinks or washbasins, a cheap manual rod 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 us. Insisting only makes the situation worse because you push the plug deeper.

This inspection lasts between 15 and 30 minutes and allows us to choose the correct method. It is a very useful intervention when the blockage is recurrent and we want to know if there is a structural problem behind it, such as a broken pipe or a poorly calculated slope. For toilets that clog, a quality 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 is worth knowing this because many people end up removing the entire toilet thinking it is the only way. In reality, it is the last option. The most complex case is a downpipe blockage. The downpipe is the vertical pipe that collects wastewater from several flats 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 dragging everything. It is the most effective equipment but also the most delicate. If the pipe has cracks or weak joints, the pressure can make things worse.

The most common is the one in the sink or basin siphon. Solidified grease and soap form a soft plug that can be removed with a manual rod or with a mild chemical cleaner if the material is PVC. Caustic soda should not be used in 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 further will break the toilet's wax seal and you'll have an added problem. We always bring tools. For specific materials (plugs, screws, silicone, etc.) we usually carry them in the van. If the job requires special materials, we will let you know in advance.
