Drain Unblocking and Cistern Cleaning in Alaró

Yes, that's common in Alaró: we adapt our equipment to the access available on each property, however tricky the route.

Yes, with the care that the narrow streets and old installations in the area require.

In the narrow streets of Alaró's historic centre we unblock old installations with the care such a protected setting requires. On Saturdays, with the traditional market in the Plaça de la Vila, access to some streets in Alaró's historic centre gets harder because of the crowds, so if possible we schedule the visit for another day of the week unless it's a genuine emergency.

Our 24/7 emergency service reaches both Alaró's town centre and the more remote rural estates on the mountain slopes. An emergency on an estate on the mountain slopes can mean leaving the vehicle before reaching the house and continuing on foot with part of the equipment, something that doesn't happen in Alaró's town centre itself, where access is much more direct.

In the centuries-old homes near the Plaça de la Vila, CCTV inspection avoids blind digging on protected streets and façades. In Alaró it's common to find sections of galvanised iron pipe in the village's older homes, which build up rust over the years and lose internal diameter; the camera lets us confirm whether the problem is the pipe itself or a one-off blockage before deciding whether the section needs replacing. We also use it on the rural estates in the mountains, where uneven ground makes it hard to spot a leak by eye.

On the rural estates on the slopes below the Castell d'Alaró, the cistern remains a common solution, and we clean and disinfect it adapting to each property's access. Besides the mountain estates, several old-town houses in Alaró, near the Plaça de la Vila, also have their own cistern in the basement or inner courtyard, with narrow access that means working with more compact tools than on an open property. We recommend cleaning them before summer, when water use for the garden and weekend visitors to the area picks up.

Alaró's rural properties often have irrigation tanks that need periodic cleaning to keep the water in good condition. The restaurants at the foot of the path up to the Castell d'Alaró, a popular starting point for hikers, rely on their own water tanks to serve visitors on the busiest weekends, so we check their capacity before the months with most foot traffic. On the municipality's other rural properties, the irrigation tank usually also supplies the farm animals, so we pay special attention to disinfection.

In the buildings of Alaró's historic centre we inspect downpipes that are many years old before they cause leaks. On the estates on the mountain slopes the challenge is different: tricky access means many downpipes haven't been checked for years, so we recommend bringing the check forward before a leak appears that's hard to trace.

The price depends on the type of job, the diameter of the installation and accessibility. We always give you a clear quote before starting work in Alaró, with no surprises at the end.

Yes, our emergency service covers Alaró 24 hours a day, every day of the year, weekends and public holidays included, with no surcharge for night-time or holiday call-outs.
