    Blocked Drains, Anderlecht, Brussels

    Most blocked drains in Anderlecht, Brussels come from the same few causes: grease and food residue in kitchen sinks, hair and soap in showers, wipes or too much paper in toilets, and sometimes limescale or roots in older pipes. The plumber first locates the blockage, then clears it with a plunger, a drain snake or a pressure tool, and checks that water runs freely again. If the pipe is damaged or the blockage keeps coming back, the plumber explains the options before going any further.

    Typical signs

    • Water drains slowly or stands in the sink or shower.
    • A gurgling noise comes from the pipes when water runs.
    • A bad smell rises from a drain or a trap.
    • Several fixtures in the home back up at the same time.
    Typical market prices EUR 50-70/hour excl. VAT + travel EUR 25-60, emergency call-out EUR 100-450 depending on time and parts (indicative)

    Indicative range seen on the local market, not a quote. The final price depends on the job and is agreed directly with the plumber before work starts.

    While you wait for the plumber

    1. Stop using the blocked fixture so the water does not overflow.
    2. Remove visible hair or debris by hand, wearing gloves.
    3. Avoid strong chemical drain cleaners, which can damage pipes and harm the plumber working afterwards.
