Blockage Removal in Tallinn — Fast and Effective Drain Clearing

Blockages are one of the most common problems in flats and houses. There are many causes — fat and food waste build up in the kitchen sink and gradually form hard deposits on the pipe walls. Hair, soap residue and toiletries collect in the bathroom and shower drain. Toilets are frequently blocked by too much toilet paper or by things that shouldn't be flushed at all (wet wipes, cotton buds, hygiene products).

Blockages also occur outside the flat — in the building's main drainage pipes — due to tree root ingress, subsided pipework or building debris. Most of these problems can be solved with our equipment without opening up walls or floors.

We have a full range of equipment that lets us solve everything from simple to the most stubborn blockages. The method we choose depends on where the blockage is, its nature and the pipe diameter.

• Mechanical rodding — suitable for most in-flat blockages
• Electric drain cleaning machine — a more powerful option for tough blockages
• High-pressure jetting (hydrodynamic cleaning) — for exterior mains and complex blockages
• Chemical treatment — used only when needed and with full safety precautions
• Video inspection — when the cause of the blockage isn't obvious
• Manual clearing — for smaller traps and drains

A blocked kitchen sink is the most common call-out. The problem is usually in the trap or the pipe just after it, where fat has built up. The technician rods the pipe, removes the trap and cleans it separately if needed. The whole job takes 30–60 minutes.

A blocked bath or shower drain is usually caused by hair and toiletry residue. The technician uses a thin cable that reaches deep into the drain and clears it out. If the blockage is further down the drainage pipe, we use the electric cleaning machine.

A blocked toilet is often the most disruptive problem, since it affects the whole household. Simple blockages can be cleared with a plunger or a cable; tougher ones need the electric machine. Occasionally the toilet needs to be temporarily removed to access the pipe.

If the blockage is outside the flat — in the basement, the yard or the connection to the street sewer — the problem is more serious and needs more specialised equipment. In these cases we use a jetting machine that produces a water jet at 150–250 bar inside the pipe, cutting through fat deposits, root growth and other debris.

Where needed, we also run a video inspection of the drain — a camera inside the pipe to see the exact problem and its location. This avoids unnecessary excavation and lets us fix the exact spot.

Most blockages can be avoided with simple daily habits. Don't pour fat or oil down the kitchen sink — collect it in a separate container and dispose of it with household waste. Use a drain strainer in the sink and bath to catch larger particles and hair. Nothing but toilet paper should go down the toilet — no wet wipe dissolves as fast as the packaging claims.

We recommend apartment associations and homeowners have a preventive drain clean once or twice a year. It takes little time, costs little, and saves you from later emergencies — which can mean not just clearing a blockage but also cleaning up sewage overflowing into a neighbour's flat.

Everything starts with your call or online enquiry. Our dispatcher listens to the problem, assesses how urgent it is, and sends the nearest available technician. In an emergency we head out immediately; for planned work we agree a time that suits you. The technician arrives with the equipment and spare parts needed to sort things out in a single visit wherever possible.

On site we run a first diagnosis, pin down the exact cause of the fault and propose the best solution. We agree the scope and price with you before starting, so you know exactly what you're paying for. Any extra materials or work are always confirmed separately before we proceed.

Once the job is finished we test the system, clean up after ourselves and issue a report. We give you practical advice on further care and, where useful, can offer a maintenance contract with regular preventive check-ups.
