FAQs
Do you offer 24/7 emergency drain opening services in Athens?
Yes. Our licensed plumbing team is on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week—including weekends and holidays—to handle any drain blockage or overflow anywhere in Athens and the surrounding suburbs. Call our hotline at any time and a dispatcher will send the nearest available technician to your location.
How quickly can a plumber reach my property after I call?
Response times vary by traffic and distance, but within central Athens we typically arrive within 30–60 minutes of your call. For outlying districts we quote a window when you book, usually under 90 minutes. We track all vans by GPS so our office can give you real-time arrival updates.
What methods do you use to clear blocked drains?
Our plumbers carry a full range of professional tools: mechanical drain snakes for small to medium clogs, high-pressure water jetting for heavy grease or tree-root intrusions, and camera inspection equipment to locate breaks or collapsed pipes. We choose the safest, most effective method for your specific blockage and explain the process before we begin.
How much does emergency drain opening cost?
We keep pricing transparent. A standard emergency call-out in Athens starts at €40 for diagnostics, which is waived if you approve the repair. Simple sink or shower blockages generally range from €60–€90. More complex issues requiring jetting or camera inspection will be quoted on-site before work begins. No work starts until you agree to the price in writing.
What types of drains can you service?
We can open and clean all residential and commercial drains—including kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, showers, bathtubs, toilets, floor drains, roof drains, washing-machine outlets, exterior storm drains, and main sewer lines. Our vans carry interchangeable cable heads and jetting nozzles to handle pipe diameters from 32 mm to 300 mm.
How can I prevent future drain blockages?
Avoid pouring fats, oils, or coffee grounds down kitchen sinks; use hair catchers in showers; flush only toilet paper—no wipes or sanitary products; and schedule preventive maintenance every 12–18 months. We offer discounted annual camera inspections and pipe descaling packages to keep your drainage system flowing freely.
