Blocked drains: why act quickly?
A blocked drain is never just a minor inconvenience. Without prompt action, a blockage can cause water damage and foul odours.
Main causes
1. Cooking grease buildup
Cooking fats cool and solidify in pipes. This is the number 1 cause of blocked kitchen sinks.
2. Hair and soap residue
In bathrooms, hair tangles with soap residue, creating clumps that block drains.
3. Limescale
In Belgium, water is particularly hard in many regions.
Professional techniques
High-pressure hydro-jetting: A high-pressure water jet (up to 350 bar) eliminates all types of blockages.
Camera inspection: Our technicians insert an endoscopic camera to precisely locate the blockage.
