Signs your drain needs attention
Water taking longer and longer to disappear — usually the early stage of a full blockage.
Air trapped behind a partial blockage often makes a gurgling noise when you flush or drain.
Trapped waste or a dry trap can cause persistent odours, even without visible blockage.
Flushing the toilet causes water to rise in the shower or another drain — a sign of a shared blockage further down.
Needs multiple flushes, or water rises close to the rim before slowly going down.
Pooling water near an outdoor drain or gulley after normal use, not just after rain.
Blocked drains in Mijas Costa — what to expect
Hard water is the biggest reason drains struggle across Mijas Costa — limescale builds up inside older pipework and gradually narrows the flow until a blockage that would once have passed through gets stuck. Villas with outdoor drains and gulleys, especially on the hillside urbanisations, also pick up soil and leaf debris after rain.
If your property sits in a community with shared drainage, the blockage might not be yours to fix — but it's worth having someone confirm that before assuming. We'll check whether the problem is inside your property line or in the communal system first.

FAQ — blocked drains Mijas Costa
Why do drains block so often in Mijas Costa?+
Hard water and older pipework are the main culprits — limescale narrows the pipe over time, and grease or roots can finish the job. Outdoor drains near hillside villas also collect more soil and leaves after rain.
Can you clear an outdoor drain, not just inside the house?+
Yes. We handle indoor drains (toilets, sinks, showers) and outdoor/communal drains. Tell us which one it is so we send the right equipment.
Is a blocked drain a health risk?+
It can be, especially if it's backing up into the house. Treat sewage backup as urgent and mark your request accordingly.
Do you use chemicals or rods?+
It depends on the blockage. Most jobs are cleared mechanically first — chemicals are avoided where possible, especially near communal systems.
