What blocks in Elche: ground-floor flats, old kitchens and chambers in the partidas

In the blocks of Carrús, El Pla and El Raval the ground-floor and mezzanine flats receive everything that comes down from the whole building. When the horizontal run from the stack to the chamber blocks, the first flat to find out is the ground floor: the toilet rises and the shower tray fills on its own. We run the auger from the lowest access point and check with the camera whether the obstruction is in your run or the shared one.

The kitchens of 1970s flats carry decades of frying oil in a 40 mm pipe with little fall; the sink drains slowly for months until one day it stops. In the villas of the partidas (Torrellano, El Toscar, Los Palmerales) the weak spot is the garden chamber: palm and ficus roots pushing in through the joints, soil and leaves on the grate. In Arenales del Sol and La Marina, sand and hair in terrace and shower drains after the summer.

• Kitchen sink that will not drain: auger through to the stack and removal of stuck grease, 70-120 €.
• Overflowing toilet: auger or pressure pump, 80-140 €.
• Ground-floor shower or bath filling on its own: floor trap and horizontal run, with camera.
• Villa chamber with roots: electric auger with a cutting head and a check of the joints.
• Slow basin from limescale: new trap or short auger, depending on where the blockage sits.

How we clear a drain in Elche

Send us a photo or video of the drain on WhatsApp and tell us whether the water rises on its own or simply will not go down. With that we choose hand auger, electric machine or pump and give you a fixed price. The camera inspection is included when you book the unblocking, and we do not charge by the metre of pipe.

In Elche the call-out is free when the quote is accepted; if you prefer not to go ahead once we arrive, it is 35 €. We protect the floor, open the trap or the access point, run the auger until the blockage gives and run hot water for several minutes to check the speed. You pay on completion with an invoice including IVA (VAT) and 6 months' written guarantee.

Drain unblocking prices in Elche

Same ranges as in Alicante. Villa chambers with roots and ground floors with a floor trap and no access point come in at the upper end; a sink with an accessible trap in an Altabix flat, at the lower end. Be wary of "drains in Elche from 29 €": the final figure usually multiplies by five once a tanker turns up. The full table is on the drain unblocking prices page.

When the blockage is not yours

If you live in a ground-floor flat in Carrús and the water rises when the neighbours run the washing machine, the problem is in the building's main drain. We confirm it with the camera, give you the video and do not charge for an unblocking that would solve nothing; that job is booked by the comunidad de vecinos (residents' association) with a tanker company we work with as a partner. The same goes for septic tanks and cesspits in some partidas without mains drainage: those need the tanker.

If the auger clears the blockage but the camera shows a rotten trap or a broken accessible pipe, we replace it on the same visit as your plumber in Elche. And if the cause is a dry trap letting smells through, we refill it and explain how to avoid it when the house is left closed.
