There's no point blindly inserting a rod if the blockage is two floors down. For this, we use an endoscopic inspection camera, a slim camera mounted on a flexible cable that travels through the pipe and shows on screen the exact point of the clog and its nature. Hair, grease, plant roots, foreign objects, fragments of old construction.

The most complex case is a clogged downpipe. A downpipe is the vertical pipe that collects wastewater from several floors in the same block. When it gets clogged, it usually affects several neighbours at once. This is where the high-pressure machine comes into play, capable of pushing water at 150 bar and clearing everything. It is the most effective equipment but also the most delicate. If the pipe has cracks or weak joints, the pressure can make things worse. For clogged toilets, the classic plunger only works if the blockage is superficial. When the clog is deeper, in the internal siphon of the toilet or in the first bend of the downpipe, a professional rod or small rotary machine is needed. It's important to know this because many people end up removing the entire toilet, thinking it's the only way. In reality, it's the last resort. 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.

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 hand rod or a soft 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. For toilets, a quality plunger is worth having at home. It's the first intervention. If it doesn't move after five to ten plunges, call a plumber. Forcing it more will break the toilet's wax seal and create an additional problem. Every handyman undergoes 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.
