Drain unblocking on the Costa del Sol

A blocked sink and a blocked toilet are different jobs, even if both leave water sitting where it should drain. We handle drain faults on the Costa del Sol and use the details you provide to direct you to the right service. Start with the fixture or drain that is causing trouble. For the wider repair overview, see plumbing repairs.

Is the kitchen sink blocked?

If water is backing up or draining poorly at the kitchen sink, go to kitchen sink unblocking. Tell us whether the problem is in one sink or whether you have noticed it elsewhere too. A photo of the basin and a short description of what happens when you use it can help us understand the job.

Is a toilet blocked?

A toilet that will not clear or is draining poorly needs a different assessment from a kitchen sink. See blocked toilet clearing. Let us know whether the toilet can still be used and whether water is rising, so we can understand what you are dealing with before discussing a visit.

Is the blockage elsewhere in the drain system?

If the problem is in an external or shared drain rather than a sink or toilet, use blocked drain clearing. A cracked or damaged pipe is a different concern, so see drain pipe repair if you suspect the pipe itself is affected. Describe where you noticed the problem and whether it is linked to one fixture or a wider part of the property.

A slow shower drain is a distinct issue from a blocked kitchen sink or toilet. For that, go to shower drain repair. If the drain is clear but there is an unpleasant smell, use drain smell repair. Naming the location and the symptom helps us direct your enquiry without treating different problems as one.

How do we approach a blocked drain?

We use mechanical equipment selected for the job, including a wet vac and an industrial-grade mechanical drain cleaner. The drain-unblocking kit also includes a plunger, rods, suction and pressure pumps, and a hot-water flush. The approach depends on what you report and what we find at the property.

After clearing a blockage, we verify the flow. That check gives us a direct indication of whether water is moving through the affected section. If the problem points to a damaged pipe or another fault, we will explain that distinction and discuss what to do next rather than treating it as a routine blockage.

What should you tell us about the blockage?

Name the fixture or drain, explain what happens when water is used and say when you first noticed the change. If there is a smell, mention where it is strongest. If more than one drain is affected, include that too. A few clear details help us choose what to ask next and what equipment may be relevant.

You do not need to try to clear the drain yourself before contacting us. If you have already tried something, tell us what it was. We will take that into account when discussing the next step and checking the affected drain.

A blockage can be local to one fixture or show up in a different part of the property. We use your description to choose where to begin, then check the affected drain during the visit. The tools are selected for the job rather than used as a fixed routine. Once the work is done, we check the flow and tell you what we observed. If the symptoms suggest pipe damage or a separate smell issue, we can distinguish those from a blockage and explain the relevant next service.
