What we unblock

Toilets

Won't flush, rising water, or backing up. If it's your only toilet, we treat it as an emergency.

Kitchen sinks

Grease and food buildup — the number one blockage in Paris apartments. Cleared mechanically, not masked with chemicals.

Showers and bathtubs

Slow draining or standing water, usually hair and soap deep in the trap or pipe.

Building drains

Bad smells, gurgling, several apartments affected. We diagnose whether it's your pipe or the building's.

Frequently asked questions

I already tried a plunger and drain cleaner. Is it worth calling?

If those didn't work, the blockage is deeper than home tools can reach. Professional equipment (mechanical snakes, high-pressure jetting) clears it properly instead of pushing it further in. Repeated chemical cleaners can also damage old Paris pipes.

How much does unblocking cost?

It depends on where the blockage is and what equipment is needed. Describe the problem on the phone and we give you a clear price before the plumber comes. No surprise extras on site.

The whole building's drain seems blocked, not just mine. Whose problem is it?

If several apartments are affected, the blockage is likely in the building's shared pipes, which are the responsibility of the copropriété (building association). We help you confirm this and tell you what to say to your syndic — in English.

Can you come today?

Usually yes, and for a fully blocked toilet in an apartment with only one toilet, we treat it as an emergency and can often be there within the hour.
