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 objects, fragments of old construction. For superficial clogs 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. Persisting only makes the situation worse because you push the blockage to a deeper point.

This inspection takes between 15 and 30 minutes and allows us to choose the correct method. It is a very useful intervention when the clog is recurrent and we want to know if there is an underlying structural problem, such as a broken pipe or an incorrectly calculated slope. For toilets that get clogged, a good quality plunger is worth having at home. This is 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 will have an added problem. The most complex case is a clog in a downpipe. The downpipe is the vertical pipe that collects wastewater from several flats in the same block. When it gets clogged, it usually affects several neighbours at once. Here, the high-pressure machine comes into play, capable of pushing water at 150 bar and clearing everything. It is the most effective equipment but also the most delicate. If the pipe has cracks or weak joints, the pressure can worsen things.

The most common is in the sink or basin trap. Solidified grease and soap form a soft blockage 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 or ten plunges, call the plumber. Forcing it further will break the toilet's wax seal and you'll have an added problem.
