About our service in Sintra
The microclimate of the hills governs everything that happens below ground in Sintra. The damp is constant, the vegetation is dense and grows fast, and sloping terrain means rain washes soil and leaves into anything left open. The older houses of the town, of São Pedro de Penaferrim or of Colares often have drainage built in stages, added to across generations, with different materials joined to one another and chambers nobody has opened in years. It is in those improvised connections and ageing joints that roots get in and sediment settles. Before we work, we try to understand the layout of the system, which is not always documented. We open whatever chambers exist, follow the route with the camera and identify the material of each run, because the pressure we can use depends on it. Cleaning is done by jetting to flush out silt and leaves, and with a cutting head where there are roots, always with regard for the condition of the pipe. On properties with no connection to the public sewer, we also check the septic tank and the route to it, since an apparent blockage is often the consequence of a full tank, which no machine will solve but emptying will. Access is a serious part of the job. Many addresses lie on narrow lanes, with old gates, steps and unmade tracks where a large vehicle cannot go, so we always confirm the arrival conditions before setting off. On properties used seasonally or let to holidaymakers, we suggest opening and checking the chambers at the end of autumn, once the leaves have fallen, as that is when the system tends to block. We work Monday to Saturday, from nine in the morning to eight in the evening, we give priority to properties with sewage escaping, and we say honestly when we can only come the following morning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about pipe unclogging in Sintra:
Nobody knows where the pipes run. Is that a problem?
It is common and it can be sorted out. We open the visible chambers and follow the system with the camera to reconstruct the layout. At the end you will know where the drainage runs, which is useful for any future work.
The house has a septic tank. Do you handle that too?
We check the route to the tank and the level in it, because what looks like a blockage is very often simply a full tank. In that case what solves it is emptying, and we say so before doing any other work.
How is the quote prepared?
It reflects the length of the run, the material, vehicle access, whether roots are involved and whether a camera is needed. We look at photographs on WhatsApp or make a site visit, and then hand over a no-obligation quote.
