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 location and nature of the blockage on screen. Hair, grease, plant roots, foreign objects, fragments of old construction. For superficial clogs in sinks or washbasins, a cheap 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 it's still stuck after 30-45 minutes, call us. Insisting will only worsen the situation by pushing the blockage deeper.

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 homes 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 those repairs that don't require a specialized trade but do need expert hands, having a reliable handyman saves time, money, and headaches. We connect Elche homes with verified professionals who resolve everyday issues. This inspection lasts between 15 and 30 minutes and allows for choosing the correct method. It's a very useful intervention when a blockage is recurrent and we want to know if there's an underlying structural problem, such as a broken pipe or incorrectly calculated slope. For downpipes and multiple blockages (more than one bathroom affected, water rising in one when using another), always call a plumber. It's a common installation problem that requires professional tools and often coordination with neighbours.

For toilets, a good 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 more will break the toilet's wax seal, creating an additional problem. The most common is in the sink or washbasin siphon. 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 in old lead or copper pipes. It corrodes the metal and creates worse problems than the original. Every handyman undergoes verification including ID, valid self-employment status, and proof of previous industry experience. We also consider feedback from other local clients to maintain a consistent level of quality.
