Emergency Drain Unblocking in Brussels: What to Do and Who to Call?

Blocked drain emergency: the right reflexes

A blocked drain can quickly cause serious water damage. Here's how to react effectively in Brussels.

Step 1: identify the type of blockage

• Sink or shower: local blockage, often solved with a chemical unblocking agent or plunger
• Toilet: use a plunger or drain snake — never chemical products in a toilet with a septic tank
• Multiple drains blocked simultaneously: blockage on the main collector — professional intervention required
• Backflow or odours: deep blockage in the network — call a professional immediately
