Blocked drains in Riviera del Sol.

Sink not draining, toilet backing up, shower filling with water round your feet — we clear it and tell you honestly why it happened.

Tip: tell us which drain, and whether it's slow or fully stopped.

Signs a drain needs sorting

Draining slower each week

The gradual pattern — usually limescale narrowing the pipe bit by bit.

Gurgling when you flush

Air trapped behind a partial blockage, trying to escape.

Bad smell that won't go

Waste sitting somewhere it shouldn't, even without a full stoppage.

Water rising in another fixture

Flush the toilet and the shower fills — a shared blockage further down the line.

Toilet needs several flushes

Water taking a while to fully clear, or rising close to the rim first.

Standing water outside a drain

Pooling that isn't from rain — worth a look before it gets worse.

Drains in Riviera del Sol — what to expect

Older pipework and hard water are a common pairing here. Limescale coats the inside of pipes that are already 20 or 30 years old, so the internal space keeps shrinking, and a blockage that would once have passed through now catches.

Most jobs clear in one visit without any need to open anything up. If it keeps coming back in the same spot, that usually points to a section of pipe that's narrowed enough to need a proper look, not just a quick clear.

FAQ — blocked drains Riviera del Sol

Why do drains block here so often?+

Limescale is the main reason. It narrows old pipes over time until things that used to flow through easily get stuck. Grease and hair usually finish the job.

Is a blocked toilet an emergency?+

If it's the only toilet in the house or water is rising close to the rim, treat it as urgent. A slow drain that just takes longer isn't.

Will you need to take anything apart?+

Sometimes, but we always try the simplest fix first. Most blockages clear without removing anything.

Can this damage the pipe itself?+

Left long enough, yes — pressure from a full blockage can stress old joints. Better to sort it before it gets that far.
