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
