Drain unblocking in Ptolemaida and Kozani
Ma.Ster OE clears blocked drains and cleans sewer manholes with high-pressure equipment, for homes, apartment buildings, businesses and industrial sites, based in Ptolemaida and covering all of Western Macedonia, Greece. To book an unblocking call +30 6976 510926 or the landline 2463 026221, Monday to Saturday, 07:00 to 19:00.
Unblocking a drain means removing whatever is stopping the flow inside a sewer pipe: hardened grease, hair, wet wipes, food scraps, soil, or tree roots that have worked their way in through the joints. A blockage rarely forms overnight. Material builds up gradually and narrows the pipe, mostly where it changes slope or direction, until one day the water stops draining.
We work with professional high-pressure equipment that cleans the pipe walls along the whole length of the blockage, not just the spot where the problem showed up. We bring the colour inspection camera on the same visit, so when a blockage keeps coming back we can see what is causing it instead of clearing the same spot again and again.
The signs
When you need a drain unblocked
A blockage rarely arrives without warning. It is worth calling us when you notice:
- Water draining more and more slowly from a sink, shower or toilet.
- Gurgling from plugholes when water runs elsewhere in the house.
- A sewage smell around the manholes or inside the property.
- Water backing up or overflowing from a manhole in the yard or basement.
- In an apartment building, a problem showing up in more than one flat at once, usually a sign the blockage is in the shared pipe.
- The same blockage returning to the same spot a short while after it was last cleared.
The process
How we unblock a drain
The same sequence every time, whether it is a kitchen sink at home or the drainage network of an industrial plant.
Locate
We start from the nearest manhole and the points where the problem appears, to work out which section of the network the blockage is in.
High-pressure cleaning
The high-pressure equipment breaks up and flushes out grease, deposits and foreign material, cleaning the pipe and the manholes connected to it.
Camera where needed
If the blockage keeps returning, or roots or a broken pipe are suspected, the camera with its length counter shows the cause and its exact position, and we propose a fix before any further work.
Manhole cleaning
Manholes are the inspection points of a drainage network. Mud, sand, leaves and anything else that comes down the pipes collects there. A manhole full of deposits slows the flow through the whole network and is often where a blockage begins.
We clean sewer manholes with the same high-pressure equipment we use for unblocking, at homes, apartment buildings, businesses and industrial sites. One tip: if you are working in the yard, do not tip soil, ash or building debris into the manholes. It is one of the most common causes of blockages we come across.
From unblocking to repair
Unblocking clears a temporary obstruction. It does not fix a pipe that has cracked, shifted or been invaded by roots. When the same spot blocks again and again, a camera inspection shows whether there is structural damage underneath. In that case the repair can usually be done without digging, from the existing manhole, without opening up the yard or the floor.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
How much does a drain unblocking cost?
It depends on where the blockage is and what is causing it, how much pipe needs cleaning, and whether a camera inspection is needed. We do not quote blind. Call +30 6976 510926, tell us what is happening and we will tell you what is needed and what it will cost.
Can I clear the drain myself with chemicals?
Chemical drain cleaners may temporarily open a small blockage close to the plughole, but they do not remove the grease and deposits further down the pipe, and frequent use can be hard on older pipes. If the water still drains slowly or the problem comes back, the blockage is further in and needs high-pressure cleaning.
Why does the blockage keep coming back in the same place?
Usually because something in the pipe itself is catching material: a crack, a shifted joint, roots, or a section that has lost its slope. Cleaning restores the flow, but the cause remains. A camera inspection finds the spot and shows whether a repair is needed.
Do you unblock drains for apartment buildings and businesses?
Yes. We work at homes, apartment buildings with shared drainage, businesses and industrial sites. Ma.Ster OE is certified to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015, and its principal partner is PPC S.A.
