Drain Cleaning in Cascais

About our service in Cascais

The first thing worth establishing on any Cascais property is whether you are connected to the municipal network or to a tank of your own, because it changes everything that follows. On a private system, a WC that backs up may have nothing wrong with it at all: the tank is simply full, and until it is emptied nothing downstream of the house will move. On a mains connection the same symptom usually means a blockage in the run between the house and the chamber. We look for the covers before we touch a fixture, and if nobody knows where they are we trace the line to find them, which is a normal part of a first visit here rather than an extra. The rest of the pattern is coastal and garden-related. Outdoor showers by the pool rinse off beach sand from Guincho and Carcavelos, and that sand does not float away like hair does; it settles in the trap and in the low points of the run and builds a hard bed that eventually holds everything else. Garden gullies collect leaves, pine needles and grit from the driveways. Inside the house, kitchen fat and the usual wipes do what they do everywhere. In older properties, a blockage that keeps returning at the same point sometimes turns out not to be a blockage at all but a broken or root-invaded length of pipe, and rodding it will never be a permanent answer. Where we find that, we tell you and show you rather than selling you the same visit twice a year. Before we arrive, keep the fixture out of use, and if the ground above the tank or the chamber is soft or smells, keep children and pets away from it. Skip the caustic drain products entirely on a septic system, since they kill the bacteria the tank depends on and make the situation worse. We clear with rods, a drum machine and a wet vacuum, use a camera when the cause is not visible, and empty tanks with the appropriate equipment and disposal.

What we handle at Cascais properties:

Areas We Serve

We cover Cascais centro, Birre, Quinta da Marinha, Guincho, Alcabideche, Torre and Manique. On larger plots it helps if you can tell us where the drive access is, since the vehicle needs to get reasonably close to the tank or chamber.
