Pipe Unclogging in Loures

About our service in Loures

In Loures, the first question we ask is whether the house is on the municipal sewer or on a septic tank. The answer changes everything. In the blocks of Sacavém, Moscavide or Santa Iria de Azóia, the work is that of any dense urban setting: shared stacks with accumulated fat, branch pipes serving individual flats, toilets with wipes, chambers and car park gullies. At the farmsteads and houses of Bucelas, Fanhões and the north of the borough, the drainage crosses tens of metres of land, often by way of a septic tank or a soakaway, and what looks like a blockage is frequently a tank that will not take anything more. So at a house with a septic tank, we start by checking the level in the tank and the state of the chamber ahead of it. If it is full, no machine will help: what is needed is emptying, and we say so before proposing any clearing work. If the tank is in good order, the trouble lies along the route, and there we run the camera to find the exact point, which may just as well be a root from a hedge or an olive tree as sediment settled in a stretch with too little fall. Cleaning is done by jetting and, where roots are involved, with a cutting head matched to the bore of the pipe. In the urban buildings of the borough the picture is the opposite: easy access, the van at the door, but many flats depending on the same run and the need to coordinate with the block manager. In both cases we hand over a record of what we found and what was done, because that is what allows a decision on whether cleaning is enough or a repair needs planning. We work Monday to Saturday, from nine in the morning to eight in the evening, we give priority to properties where sewage is already escaping, and we say clearly when we can only come the following morning.
