There's no point in blindly inserting a rod if the blockage is two floors down. For that, 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 blockages in sinks or basins, 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. Insisting only makes the situation worse because you push the plug deeper.

Only when the material allows and the case requires it. We always prefer the mechanical method (rod, machine) because it does not damage pipes or joints. 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. 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 recurring and we want to know if there is a structural problem behind it, such as a broken pipe or a poorly calculated gradient.

For toilets, a quality plunger is worth having at home. It's the first line of action. If after five to ten plunges it doesn't move, call the plumber. Forcing it more will break the wax seal of the toilet and create an additional problem. The most common is the one in the sink or basin trap. 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. Each handyman goes through a verification process that includes ID, valid self-employment registration, and checking previous experience in the sector. We also value feedback from other clients in the area to maintain a consistent level of quality.

The price for a flat removal in Montbau usually ranges between 155 and 1500 euros. The final amount depends on the condition of the property, materials, and working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Yes, a 30-day guarantee. If the blockage reappears at the same spot within that period, we return at no extra cost.
