Pipe unblocking in Mallorca
We unblock sinks, bathrooms, manholes and shared building drains with high‑pressure equipment.
A blockage never gives warning — it shows up in the kitchen sink, the shower drain or the community manhole, and if left alone it turns into a much costlier problem. At Tuberías y Aljibes we unblock any type of pipe in Mallorca — homes, commercial premises or residential communities — using high‑pressure trucks and over 14 years of hands‑on experience.
We remove built‑up grease, wet wipes, limescale and roots blocking the system, without damaging old pipework or forcing the installation. We work on pipes from 32 mm up to 350 mm in diameter, in both domestic and industrial settings.
How we work
We first assess the type of blockage and the pipe's diameter, either over the phone or on arrival. We then intervene with the right equipment — cable machine or high-pressure truck — until the pipe is completely clear. Once finished, we check that water flows normally and let you know if we spot anything worth keeping an eye on, such as an old pipe or a recurring build-up of roots.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about pipe unblocking
How long does a standard unblocking job take?
Most domestic jobs (sink, bathroom) are solved in under an hour once we arrive. Blockages in shared downpipes or manholes can take a little longer depending on the length of the run.
Can I unblock it myself with chemical products?
Harsh chemicals can damage old pipework and don't always remove the root cause (roots, cracks, hardened grease build‑up). If the blockage keeps coming back, a professional inspection is the way to go.
Do you work with residential communities?
Yes — it's one of our most common jobs: shared downpipes, community manholes and building drainage networks across Mallorca.
How much does an unblocking job cost?
The price depends on the type of blockage, accessibility, and whether it's a private home or a community. We give you a clear quote before starting, with no surprises at the end.
Can unblocking damage my pipes?
No. We use pressurised water calibrated to the diameter and condition of the pipe, so we don't damage old or fragile installations.
What's the difference between cable machine unblocking and water jetting?
A cable machine drills through a specific blockage, while water jetting flushes and cleans the whole pipe, including grease and sediment stuck to the walls. We choose the method based on the case.
Can I get a fixed quote before you start?
Yes, in most cases we can give an estimate over the phone and confirm it on arrival, before starting any work.
Do you work in commercial premises as well as homes?
Yes, we work in restaurants, shops, offices and industrial units, as well as private homes and residential communities.
What happens if the blockage isn't solved on the first try?
If the blockage persists, we assess whether a CCTV inspection is needed to locate the exact cause before a further visit.
Do I need to be home during the unblocking job?
It helps to give us access and context about the problem, though in residential communities we can coordinate with the caretaker or property manager.
