Blocked drains in Puerto Banús.
Sink, toilet or shower not draining? Before we do anything, we work out if it's your own pipe or the shared stack causing it.
Tip: tell us if any neighbours seem to have the same problem at the same time.
Yours, or the building's?
- • Only your drain is affected
- • Slow to drain but not backing up
- • No other units reporting it
- • Water rises when someone else flushes
- • Multiple apartments affected at once
- • Covered by community fees, not you
Signs a drain needs sorting
A gradual narrowing inside your own pipe, often from build-up over time.
Trapped air behind a partial blockage, trying to escape.
Waste sitting somewhere it shouldn't, even without a full stoppage.
A strong sign the blockage is in the shared stack, not your pipe.
Water taking a while to clear, or rising close to the rim first.
Outdoor drains on terraces can trap debris in the marina humidity.
Drains in Puerto Banús — what to expect
In apartment blocks near the marina, drains from several units feed into one shared stack running down through the building. A blockage in your own pipe is a straightforward job. A blockage in the shared stack affects everyone connected to it, and that's a community matter, not yours to pay for alone.
We always check which one we're dealing with before quoting anything. If it turns out to be the shared system, we'll explain clearly what to report to building management.

FAQ — blocked drains Puerto Banús
How do I tell if a blocked drain is mine or the building's?+
If it's just your sink, toilet or shower and nobody else is affected, it's almost always your own pipework. If several apartments on different floors are having the same issue at once, it's more likely the shared stack.
The toilet below mine backed up when I flushed — what does that mean?+
That's a sign of an issue in the shared stack, not just your own pipe. Worth reporting to building management as well as sending us a request.
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.
Will you need to speak to my building management?+
Only if the fault turns out to be in the shared system. If it's inside your apartment, we deal with it directly with you.
