For minor clogs in sinks or basins, an inexpensive manual auger from a 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. Persisting will only worsen the situation by pushing the blockage further down. The plumber's first step is to locate the clog. There's no point blindly inserting an auger 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 location and nature of the clog on screen: hair, grease, plant roots, foreign objects, fragments of old construction. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we respond in under 10 minutes during working hours.

For toilets that clog, a quality plunger only works if the blockage is superficial. If the clog is deeper, in the toilet's internal siphon or the first bend of the drainpipe, a professional auger or small rotary machine is needed. It's good to know this because many people end up removing the entire toilet, thinking it's the only way. In reality, that's the last option. The most complex case is a blockage in the main drainpipe. This is the vertical pipe collecting wastewater from several flats in the same block. When it gets blocked, it usually affects several neighbours at once. This is where a high-pressure jetting machine comes into play, capable of pushing water at 150 bar 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 worsen things. This inspection lasts 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 an incorrectly calculated slope.

For toilets, a quality plunger is worth having at home. This is the first intervention. If it doesn't clear in five to ten plunges, call a plumber. Forcing it more will break the toilet's wax seal and you'll have an added problem. The most common is a clog in the sink or basin trap. Solidified grease and soap form a soft blockage that can be removed with a manual auger or with a gentle chemical cleaner 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 (auger, machine) because it does not damage pipes or joints.

The price for a flat move in Poblenou (Sabadell) typically ranges between 155 and 1500 euros. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials, and working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Yes, there's a 30-day guarantee. If the blockage reappears at the same spot within that period, we return at no extra cost. This does not cover new blockages elsewhere. For larger jobs (post-season preparation, moves, assembly of a complete IKEA kitchen or living room), we plan the visit in advance and provide a fixed quote for the entire job.
