For superficial blockages in sinks or washbasins, 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. Insisting will only worsen the situation because you push the blockage to a deeper point. The plumber's first step is to figure out where the blockage is. There's no point blindly using 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.

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 an underlying structural problem, such as a broken pipe or a poorly calculated slope. In a city like Elche, the third largest in the province of Alicante and proud of its palm grove declared a World Heritage Site, homes have very different histories. Renovated flats in El Centro, family houses in Carrús, modern penthouses in Altabix… and in all of them, the same small unforeseen events arise. A door that scrapes, furniture to assemble, a dripping tap. For those repairs that don't require a specialised tradesperson but do need expert hands, having a reliable handyman saves time, money, and headaches. We connect Elche homes with verified professionals who solve everyday issues. Only when the material allows it and the case requires it. We always prefer the mechanical method (rod, machine) because it does not damage pipes or seals.

For toilets, a quality plunger is worth having at home. This is the first intervention. If after five to ten pumps it doesn't move, call a plumber. Forcing it more will break the wax seal of the toilet and create an additional problem. Each handyman goes through a verification process that includes ID, valid self-employed status, and verification of previous experience in the sector. We also value feedback from other clients in the area to maintain a consistent level of quality. 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 problems worse than the original.

The price for a flat removal in La Creu Alta typically ranges from 155 to 1500 euros. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials, and working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Yes, a 30-day warranty. If the blockage reappears at the same spot within that period, we return at no extra cost. It does not cover new blockages at other points. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll respond in less than 10 minutes during business hours.
