For superficial clogs in sinks or basins, an inexpensive manual plumbing snake 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 us. Persisting only worsens the situation by pushing the plug deeper. The plumber's first step is to locate the clog. There's no point blindly inserting a rod if the blockage is two floors below. 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 clog and its nature on screen: hair, grease, plant root, foreign object, fragment of old construction.

In a city like Elche, the third largest in Alicante province and proud of its palm grove declared a World Heritage Site, homes have very different stories. Renovated flats in the Centro, family houses in Carrús, modern penthouses in Altabix… and in all of them, the same small unexpected issues arise. A door that scrapes, furniture to assemble, a dripping tap. For these repairs that don't require a specialised trade but do need expert hands, relying on a trusted handyman saves time, money, and headaches. We connect Elche homes with verified professionals who solve daily issues. This inspection lasts between 15 and 30 minutes and allows us to choose the correct method. It's a very useful intervention when the clog 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 downpipes and multiple clogs (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.

For toilets, a quality plunger is worth having at home. This is the first intervention. If it doesn't budge after five to ten plunges, call the plumber. Forcing it further will break the wax seal of the toilet, creating an additional problem. The most common is 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 one. Each handyman undergoes verification, which includes ID, proper self-employment registration, and a check of previous industry experience. We also value feedback from other clients in the area to maintain a consistent level of quality.
