Downpipe cleaning & maintenance in Mallorca
Cleaning, inspection and preventive maintenance of rainwater and soil downpipes in buildings and communities.
Downpipes build up leaves, limescale, grease and sediment over time, and when they clog they cause leaks, bad odours and damp on the floors below. At Tuberías y Aljibes we clean and inspect rainwater and soil downpipes in residential communities, buildings and homes across Mallorca.
Besides one‑off cleaning, we offer scheduled preventive maintenance for communities: a planned check‑up that stops blockages before they cause damage, especially ahead of the rainy season.
How we work
We start by checking the general condition of the downpipes, using a camera if we need to locate a specific blockage. We then remove leaves, limescale, grease and sediment with equipment suited to each section, from the roof down to the main outlet. If we find a crack or misalignment, we explain it with the report and suggest the most suitable preventive maintenance to avoid it happening again.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about downpipe cleaning & maintenance
How do I know if my building's downpipe is blocked?
Damp stains on ceilings or walls on lower floors, bad odours in the light well, or water backing up when you use a drain are typical signs of a blocked downpipe.
How often should a building's downpipes be checked?
As a general rule we recommend an annual check, always before the rainy season in buildings with rainwater downpipes exposed to leaves and dirt.
Do you work with property managers?
Yes, we regularly handle preventive maintenance directly with property managers and residential communities.
What's the difference between a rainwater downpipe and a soil downpipe?
The rainwater downpipe drains rainwater, while the soil downpipe carries the building's wastewater. Both clog for different reasons and need specific inspection.
Can I book just an inspection without a cleaning?
Yes, we offer a camera inspection on its own if you just want to know the condition of the downpipes before deciding.
What signs suggest preventive maintenance is needed?
Buildings near trees, older downpipes or a history of recurring blockages are the cases where we most recommend scheduled maintenance.
How long does cleaning a whole building's downpipes take?
It depends on the number of downpipes and floors, but most buildings are completed in a single day.
Do all residents need to be told before the job?
We recommend notifying residents on the lower floors, since there may be brief water cut-offs or noise during the work.
Do you offer annual maintenance contracts for communities?
Yes, it's one of the options property managers request most: a scheduled check-up, usually ahead of the rainy season.
Do you work on downpipes in multi-storey buildings?
Yes, we have the equipment needed for downpipes of any length, from single-family homes to multi-storey blocks.
