●Water won’t drain from the sink or bath ●Bad smell rising from the drain ●Gurgling in the toilet when you use another tap ●Water backing up when you open the kitchen tap ●Drain running noticeably slower than usual ●Damp patches around the trap Sinks, baths, toilets and exterior downpipes. Professional high-pressure jet and rodding equipment. Diagnosis before action. High-pressure water jetter, flexible rod or cup auger depending on the type of blockage.

We leave the drain fully clear and flush the residues all the way to the main stack. The most common is the sink or basin trap. Solidified grease and soap form a soft plug that comes out with a manual rod or a mild chemical wash if the pipe is PVC. Caustic soda must never be used in lead or older copper pipework, it corrodes the metal and creates problems worse than the original. The result is predictable. In 80s and 90s apartment blocks dominating Torrevieja, La Mata, Punta Prima and Pilar de la Horadada, kitchen-sink blockages typically appear after 18-24 months without preventive care. In holiday rentals with high tenant rotation, the window shrinks to 6-12 months because tenants are less careful with what goes down.

Only when the material allows and the case requires it. We always prefer mechanical methods (rod, jet) because they don’t damage pipes or seals. We identify the exact location and cause before acting, to avoid damaging the pipework. For toilets, a quality cup plunger is worth keeping at home. That’s the first action. If five to ten pumps don’t shift it, call the plumber. Forcing more will break the wax seal at the toilet base and create an extra problem.

El precio de jardín vertical en Coll i Pujol suele moverse entre 44 y 528 euros. El número final depende del estado del inmueble, los materiales y el tiempo de trabajo. Siempre damos el presupuesto cerrado antes de empezar. For stacks and multi-fixture blockages (more than one bathroom affected, water rising in one when you use another), always call a plumber. It’s a system-wide installation problem that needs professional kit and often coordination with neighbours. The most complex case is a soil-stack blockage. The stack is the vertical pipe that collects waste from several flats in the same block. When it blocks it usually affects several neighbours at once. This is where the high-pressure jetter comes in, capable of pushing water at 150 bar and dragging everything along. It’s the most effective tool but also the most delicate, if the pipe has cracks or weak joints, the pressure can make things worse.
