About our service in Algés
In Algés, the geography explains half the calls we get. The area falls away towards the river mouth, and the buildings closest to the water have basements, car parks and shops below street level. When it rains hard, the sewer fills and the water looks for a way out at the lowest point connected to it, which is precisely the gully in that basement or the toilet on a ground floor. The resident experiences this as a blockage, but it is not always one: sometimes it is backflow, that is to say water coming in the wrong way. Telling the two apart is the first step, because neither the treatment nor the responsibility is the same. So we look at how the system behaves before reaching for equipment. If drainage fails in dry weather, we go looking for the obstruction in the branch or the stack and deal with it by rodding or jetting, according to the run. If it only fails in heavy rain, the trouble is downstream and the conversation turns to protection: keeping chambers and drainage channels clean so the system carries the flow it was designed for, checking whether a non-return valve exists and what condition it is in, and confirming that no rainwater connection has been wrongly routed into the foul drain. We explain what falls to the customer and what has to be taken up with the block or the municipal services. The area also has a good many older tenement buildings, with original stacks and shops at street level. In those buildings, a blockage in the stack nearly always discharges inside the ground-floor premises, which did nothing to cause it. There we use the camera to show where the obstruction lies, which avoids arguments and speeds up the block's decision. We are available Monday to Saturday, from nine in the morning to eight in the evening, we give priority to anyone taking water in, and we say frankly when we can only come the following morning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about pipe unclogging in Algés:
Water only comes in during heavy rain. Is that a blockage?
Probably not. That pattern points to backflow from the sewer, which fills and re-enters at the lowest point. The answer lies in keeping the chambers clean and in non-return protection, not in clearing your branch pipe.
The ground-floor shop flooded because of the building's stack. Who handles it?
The stack is a communal part, so the work falls to the block. We carry it out and hand over the camera images showing exactly where the obstruction was, which is what supports the decision at a residents' meeting.
How is the quote worked out?
It depends on the run, the access to the basement or the chamber, the type of blockage and whether a camera survey is needed. We assess from photographs on WhatsApp or on a site visit and present a no-obligation quote.
