Pipe Unclogging in Agualva-Cacém

About our service in Agualva-Cacém

Density changes the nature of the problem in Agualva-Cacém. In the rented and social housing blocks of Agualva, Cacém, Mira-Sintra and São Marcos, one vertical stack collects the discharge of many flats, in heavy use throughout the day. The result is a system working close to its limit: any loss of bore, whether from accumulated fat or a plug of wipes, causes backflow on the lower floors straight away. And because the flats have different owners, almost always with tenants in them, nobody feels responsible for the shared run until the day the water appears indoors. In practice that means working on two fronts. The first is technical: locating the obstruction, distinguishing what is a flat's branch pipe from what is the stack, and cleaning the run along its whole length by jetting rather than punching a hole through a plug. The camera is used to confirm the stack really is clear, which matters when so many homes depend on the outcome. The second front is coordination: working out who can give access to the basement, the chamber and whichever flats are needed. Without that, the crew stands at the door and the problem stays. So we ask whoever calls us to say at the outset whether they are speaking for themselves, for the landlord or for the block. There is also a piece of explaining we always do, because it pays off. In buildings with many families, what goes down one household's toilet affects all the others: so-called biodegradable wipes, frying oil poured into the kitchen sink and food waste with no strainer account for most of the blockages we find. A notice in the entrance hall costs very little and prevents repeats. We work Monday to Saturday, from nine in the morning to eight in the evening, we give priority to cases with sewage coming into homes, and we say frankly when we can only come the following morning.
