Blocked drains in Marbella.
Old Town apartment or Golden Mile villa — the fix isn't always the same. We check whether it's your pipe or a shared one before we start.
Tip: tell us which drain, and whether you're in an apartment or a villa.
Signs a drain needs sorting
A gradual narrowing inside the pipe, often from years of build-up.
Trapped air behind a partial blockage, trying to escape.
Waste sitting somewhere it shouldn't, even without a full stoppage.
A sign the blockage is shared further down the line — common in Old Town stacks.
Frequent on villa plots with gardens and irrigation nearby.
Water taking a while to clear, or rising close to the rim first.
Drains in Marbella — what to expect
In Old Town, buildings are close together and often older, with drain stacks running between several properties. If a blockage sits in the shared section rather than your own pipework, that changes who's responsible for sorting it — we work that out before quoting a fix.
On the larger plots around the Golden Mile and Nueva Andalucía, outdoor drains and gulleys pick up far more debris than people expect, especially once a garden and irrigation system are involved. Either way, most jobs clear in a single visit without needing to open anything up.

FAQ — blocked drains Marbella
I'm in Old Town — is my drain shared with other properties?+
Often, yes. A lot of older buildings here share a drain stack between several homes. We check that first, because it changes who's responsible for the fix.
My villa has an outdoor drain that keeps clogging. Why?+
Common on larger plots with irrigation nearby — soil, leaves, and garden debris find their way in more than people expect.
Is a blocked toilet urgent?+
If it's the only toilet, or water is close to the rim, treat it as urgent. A slow drain that just takes longer isn't.
Do you handle apartment blocks as well as villas?+
Yes, both. Apartment drains and villa drains behave differently, and we bring the right approach for each.
