Blockage in the drain or further down the pipe

Check in a minute — it decides what work is needed and what it costs.

  1. Only the bath or shower is blockedHair and soap have collected in the trap or the outlet — the other drains work.
  2. Water comes up out of the floor drainThe floor drain trap is blocked: water can’t get away and rises through the grate.
  3. The floor drain smells, though water goes downThe water seal has dried out — the water in the trap that holds back the smell. Sometimes a bucket of water poured in is enough.

If it’s further: the toilet gurgles when the bath drains — the blockage is in the flat’s pipe. That is a different job and a different price. Blockage in the flat →

Why a bath and floor drain get blocked

In the bathroom, things that don’t dissolve go down the drain. Here is what we pull out most often.

  • Hair and soapRoll into a rope that collects everything else.
  • Pet hairAfter washing a dog or a cat, a dense ball stays in the trap.
  • Sand and dirtFrom shoes and walks, they settle at the bottom of the trap and the drain.
  • Building debrisAfter a renovation, mortar, grout and offcuts get into the floor drain.
  • Too little slope in the tray or floorWater stands, and sediment builds up faster.

What you can do yourself — and when to stop

Baths and floor drains are mostly blocked by hair — you can pull it out yourself. Here is what is safe — and where it is better to stop.

You can

  • Pull hair out with a hookLift the grate or the drain plug and pull the hair out with a plastic hook or tweezers.
  • Lift and wash the floor drain grateThe main clump usually sits under it — take it out and rinse the drain trap.
  • A plunger with the overflow coveredCover the bath overflow with a wet cloth, or the pressure escapes through it, and make 10–15 sharp pulls.

Don’t

  • Pour chemicals into standing waterThey don’t reach the blockage, and the technician then has to work in a caustic solution.
  • Pour boiling water into plasticPlastic pipes and traps deform, and the joints start to leak.
  • Push wire into the floor drainIt breaks the drain trap, and then it has to be replaced.

When to stop: the grate and the drain are clean but the water still stands — the blockage is further, in the pipe, and only a cable will clear it.

Frequently asked

How much does it cost to unclog a bath or floor drain?

A bath, shower tray or floor drain is 200 ₾. If the blockage is further, in the flat’s pipe, it’s 350 ₾ for the whole pipe. Evenings (18–22) +25%, nights (22–9) +50%, weekends as weekdays. We give the total on the phone before we come.

Why does the floor drain smell?

Most often the water seal has dried out — the water in the drain trap that holds back the sewer smell. Pour a bucket of water in. If the smell stays or water drains slowly, the trap is blocked and needs cleaning.

How often should a floor drain be cleaned?

The grate — whenever you see hair and dirt on it. If the drain is rarely used, pour water into it once a week so the water seal doesn’t dry out.

Will a hair remover help?

On a fresh blockage, while water still drains, sometimes. In standing water — no: the solution won’t reach the blockage. We don’t use chemicals — we pull the hair out and clear the drain with a cable.

Water from the floor drain is leaking to the neighbours — what do I do?

Call right away: we arrive within an hour, at night too. Until then don’t use water, mop up the floor and warn the neighbours below.
