Drain Unblocking and Cistern Cleaning in Binissalem

Yes, with the care that a designated historic site requires, favouring techniques like CCTV inspection.

Yes, many have their own tanks and cisterns for irrigating the vines, and we maintain them regularly.

In the manor houses of Binissalem's historic centre we unblock 17th- and 18th-century installations with the care a historic site requires. In the manor houses of Binissalem's historic centre, many original 17th- and 18th-century pipes sit alongside later alterations that aren't always well documented, so before working on them it's worth confirming the installation's actual layout; in the municipality's wineries, by contrast, the challenge is usually the volume of water that needs moving in a short time during the harvest.

Our 24/7 emergency service responds quickly both in Binissalem's historic centre and in the wineries and estates nearby. An emergency in Binissalem's historic centre is handled with the care a designated historic site requires, while in the wineries and estates nearby the challenge is different: access needs to be coordinated with the winery's staff without interrupting the production process.

In the manor houses of Binissalem, declared a historic site in 1983, we use CCTV to diagnose old installations without invasive work. Since it's a designated historic site, any work on public roads in Binissalem's old town needs specific permits from the town hall; that's why we turn to the camera first to check whether the problem can be solved without digging up the street. In the wineries we also use it to check drainage sections dating back to the building's original construction.

On the municipality's vineyard estates we clean and disinfect traditional cisterns that are still used to irrigate the vines. In the historic centre, many 17th- and 18th-century manor houses also have their own cistern in the inner courtyard, built from marés stone like the rest of the façade; we clean these with extra care to avoid damaging the original stonework, unlike the more functional cisterns on the municipality's vineyard estates.

Binissalem's wineries and vineyard estates have irrigation tanks that need regular cleaning to keep the water in good condition. During the grape harvest in September, Binissalem's wineries need large amounts of water to clean presses, fermentation tanks and facilities, a use that goes well beyond irrigating the vines; we check their supply tanks before the campaign starts to avoid surprises in the middle of the harvest.

In the manor houses of Binissalem's historic centre we inspect centuries-old stone and ceramic downpipes before leaks appear. That stone and ceramic material is very different from what we find in the municipality's winery buildings, where the downpipes are more recent but under intensive use during the September harvest.

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 Binissalem, with no surprises at the end.

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