What blocks in Dénia: villas with chambers, storms and houses left empty
The villas of Les Marines and Les Rotes sit almost at sea level. When an easterly storm arrives, the public sewer saturates, water backs up towards the garden chambers and whatever was in the pipes (sand, leaves, grease) compacts into the plug we are later called to remove. It is the call we get most in Dénia between November and March: chamber full, ground-floor shower not draining, smell through the whole house.
The rest of the year the pattern is different. Houses owned by German and British families are shut for months: dry traps, hair and soap in the floor trap, pine and palm roots pushing into the PVC pipes at the chamber. In the flats of the Puerto and the Centro, kitchens with years of grease and shower drains full of summer beach sand.
- Kitchen sink that will not drain: auger to the chamber or stack and grease removal, 70-120 €.
- Toilet backing up after a storm: auger or pump, 80-140 €, with camera to check the state of the pipe.
- Ground-floor villa shower: floor trap and the run to the chamber.
- Chamber with roots, sand or soil: electric auger with a cutting head.
- Drain smell in a closed-up house: traps refilled and joints checked.
How we work in Dénia
Send us a photo of the drain or the chamber on WhatsApp, in Spanish, English or Russian, and we come back with a fixed price. If you are not in Dénia, we can collect the key from your agent or a neighbour, clear the drain and send you photos and an invoice with IVA (VAT). The camera is included when you book the job.
We arrive in 30-60 minutes depending on the area: the Centro and the Puerto at the short end, Jesús Pobre and the partidas (rural districts) of the Montgó at the long end. The call-out is free when the quote is accepted; if you decide not to go ahead once we arrive, it is 35 €. We run the auger until the blockage gives, run water for several minutes, and you pay at the end with 6 months' written guarantee.
Drain unblocking prices in Dénia
Dénia carries a small distance adjustment compared with Alicante, within these ranges. Villa chambers with roots and bathrooms with no access point come in at the upper end; a sink with a visible trap in a Centro flat, at the lower end. Companies advertising "drains in Dénia from 29 €" end up at 200-300 € with a tanker that a kitchen sink never needed. More examples on the drain unblocking prices page.
| Drain unblocking in Dénia | Price |
|---|---|
| Kitchen sink, basin or shower | 70-120 € |
| Blocked or overflowing toilet | 80-140 € |
| Chamber or badly blocked pipe with the electric auger | 110-180 € |
| Camera inspection | 60-120 €, free when you book the unblocking |
| Night or bank holiday call-out | 130-220 € |
When the water will not go after the storm
If the chamber is still full after the auger and your neighbours on the street have the same problem, the fault is in the municipal sewer or the connection to it, not in your pipework. We check with the camera, give you the video and do not charge for the unblocking; the connection needs a tanker company, with which we work as a partner, or the town hall. The same applies to septic tanks in partidas with no mains drainage.
If the camera shows a pipe broken or collapsed by a root, we show you the exact section before touching anything. Replacing a trap or an accessible run we do on the same visit as your plumber in Dénia; digging up the garden to replace buried pipe is building work and we pass you to a trusted builder.

Frequently asked questions
How long do you take to reach Les Marines or Les Rotes?
Between 30 and 60 minutes, 8am to 9pm every day. After a storm we get many calls at once and give priority to overflowing toilets and showers over slow sinks; we tell you the real time when we confirm. Outside those hours we only attend overflows, at the night rate.
How much does it cost to clear a villa inspection chamber in Dénia?
With soil, leaves or grease, 70-120 €. With roots and the electric auger with a cutting head, 110-180 €. The camera to check the state of the pipe is included. With a photo of the chamber on WhatsApp we give you the fixed figure before we set off.
Do you work in English or German?
In Spanish, English and Russian, on WhatsApp and on the visit. In German we can manage short written messages. Many of our customers in El Montgó and Les Marines run the house from abroad; we send them photos and the invoice and they pay by bank transfer or card.
Can I try it myself first?
If the water drains a little, a plunger and very hot water with washing-up liquid will shift recent grease plugs. For pipes that have been closed for a while, see the badly blocked pipe guide. Do not use caustic soda or acids: they damage traps and joints and force us to wait before opening up.
What guarantee do you give?
Six months in writing on the section we cleared. If it blocks for the same cause within that time, we come back at no cost. It does not cover new blockages from sand, wet wipes or oil, or blockages in the municipal sewer or the connection after a storm.
