For superficial clogs in sinks or washbasins, a cheap manual plumbing snake from the 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. Insisting only makes the situation worse because you push the blockage deeper. The first step for the plumber is to find out where the clog is. There's no point in blindly inserting a snake 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 clog and its nature on screen. Hair, grease, plant roots, foreign objects, fragments of old construction. Call us, write us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll respond in less than 10 minutes during business hours.

For downpipes and multiple clogs (more than one bathroom affected, water backing up 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 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 the first bend of the downpipe, a professional snake or small rotary machine is needed. It's useful 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 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 a high-pressure machine comes into play, capable of pushing water at 150 bar and dragging everything. It's the most effective equipment but also the most delicate. If the pipe has cracks or weak joints, the pressure can make things worse.

For toilets, a quality plunger is worth having at home. It's the first intervention. If after five to ten pumps it doesn't move, call a plumber. Forcing it more will break the toilet's wax seal and create an additional problem. The most common clog is in the sink or washbasin trap. Solidified grease and soap form a soft blockage that can be removed with a manual snake 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 it and the case requires it. We always prefer the mechanical method (snake, machine) because it does not damage pipes or joints.
