Drain Unblocking and Cistern Cleaning in Sóller

The same plumbing craft as always, but with the extra attention that installations forming part of the original structure demand.

Yes, it's a routine service on estates across the valley, where the traditional irrigation system still depends on them.

In Sóller's historic town-centre houses and in Port de Sóller we unblock pipes with the care the most sensitive installations demand. In Sóller's orange groves, the roots of the trees themselves are a common cause of blockages in irrigation pipes running close to the surface; in the historic centre, by contrast, the problem is usually the age of the installation itself, with sections that have gone unreplaced for generations.

Between mountains and sea, our 24/7 emergency service reaches both Sóller's town centre and Port de Sóller. An emergency on a property halfway up the slope in the Sóller valley can mean leaving the vehicle on the track and continuing on foot with part of the equipment, while in Port de Sóller access is easier but tourist activity concentrates more call-outs in the summer months.

In Sóller's stately town-centre houses, with sensitive installations, CCTV inspection lets us intervene without damaging the original structure. In the Sóller valley, many estates sit halfway up the hillside, with narrow access tracks and cultivation terraces that make it hard for heavy machinery to get through. The camera lets us run through long stretches of pipe and pinpoint the exact problem without digging up those terraces or the dry-stone paths that connect them. It's a solution we also use regularly in Fornalutx and Biniaraix, villages in the same valley with equally tricky terrain.

In Sóller's orange groves and rural properties we clean and disinfect cisterns that are part of traditional irrigation systems. Much of the water that feeds the valley's cisterns comes from springs and streams in the Serra de Tramuntana, with a lime content that speeds up sediment build-up on the tank walls. In Fornalutx and Biniaraix, villages that share the same valley, we find the same problem, so we recommend cleaning early in spring, before the intensive irrigation of the orange season gets under way.

Sóller's orchard irrigation systems depend on tanks we keep clean to guarantee proper irrigation. In Port de Sóller, strong tourist seasonality means many apartment and small hotel tanks go months with little or no use over winter. That stagnant water encourages legionella to appear as soon as the supply is switched back on, so we recommend cleaning tanks before the season reopens, ahead of the first guests' arrival.

In Sóller's historic town-centre houses we inspect original downpipes before built-up sediment causes leaks. On the estates in the valley, the humidity typical of the mountain setting speeds up sediment build-up in gutters and roof downpipes, something we check more often than on a coastal property, where that factor matters less.

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 Sóller, with no surprises at the end.

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