Drain Unblocking in Mateești

About this service

A blocked drain is never a problem that can wait: water backing up into the bath, a sink that takes minutes to empty, or a persistent bathroom smell turns into a flood surprisingly quickly. Unblocking involves identifying the location and nature of the blockage, then choosing the right method: an electric drain snake for grease and hair deposits, high-pressure water jetting for stacks and external connections, or CCTV inspection when the blockage keeps recurring and the real cause needs finding — an incorrect fall, a crack, root ingress, or an object dropped into the pipe. An experienced plumber works without damaging the pipe, verifies flow at the end with a water test, and tells you whether the blockage was accidental or a symptom of an installation problem. On SmallJobs you'll find plumbers with professional equipment, fast availability, real reviews, and competitive rates.

What to check before hiring a drain unblocking

Stop using the affected fitting as soon as you notice slow draining — a partial blockage becomes total quickly
Don't pour chemicals in before the plumber arrives; tell them if you already have
In a block of flats, notify neighbours on lower floors when you suspect a stack blockage
Ask for a CCTV survey if the same drain blocks a third time — repeated clearing costs more long term
Ask whether the price includes the call-out and whether an out-of-hours premium applies
Request a water test at the end of the job to confirm the drain runs completely free

Frequently Asked Questions

Can wet wipes be flushed down the toilet?

No, whatever the packaging says. Unlike toilet paper, wet wipes don't disintegrate in water and combine with grease to form very compact blockages. They're one of the main causes of stack blockages in blocks of flats. The same applies to cotton buds, dental floss, and sanitary products.

Can the plumber damage the pipe while clearing it?

There's a risk with old corroded cast iron or thin PVC, particularly if too aggressive a snake is used. An experienced plumber assesses the type and age of the installation first and adapts the method. Mention if you have old pipework so the tradesperson proceeds with extra care.

Are septic tanks unblocked too?

Yes, but that's a different service requiring tanker emptying. If the tank is full, clearing the pipe achieves nothing — the water has nowhere to go. Say upfront if you have a septic tank rather than a mains connection, so the tradesperson brings the right equipment.

What guarantee do I get on an unblocking?

Reputable plumbers offer a 15–30 day guarantee on the cleared blockage, returning free of charge if it recurs within that period. The guarantee doesn't cover new blockages from other causes. Ask for an invoice or receipt describing the work and the method used.

How do I prevent blocked drains?

Don't pour grease or oil down the sink — collect it in a container and bin it. Fit strainers to bathroom wastes to catch hair, clean traps periodically, and monthly pour very hot water with bicarbonate and vinegar down the kitchen waste. These simple measures prevent most blockages.

Does the work make a mess in the home?

It can, particularly when clearing a stack, where waste water may back up. A professional plumber arrives with protective sheeting, buckets, and absorbent materials and cleans the area afterwards. Ask in advance whether this is included, especially if the work is near furniture or wood flooring.
