Drain Cleaning near you in Cyprus

Kitchen lines: grease and food solids. Bathrooms: hair and soap scum. Toilets: wipes (including 'flushable' ones) and sanitary products. Outside: tree roots entering pipe joints and silt. Knowing the likely cause helps the plumber bring the right machine first visit.

Keep fats and oils out of the kitchen sink (bin them cooled), fit hair catchers in showers, flush only the 3 Ps, and jet lines with known root intrusion every 12-18 months until the pipe is repaired or relined. Recurring blocks always have a physical cause worth diagnosing.

A drain snake (electric eel/auger) bores a hole through the blockage — fast and cheap, but debris and grease remain on pipe walls. Hydro jetting scours the full pipe diameter with high-pressure water, clearing grease, scale and roots properly. Jetting costs more but lasts longer for recurring blocks.

Caustic supermarket products sometimes clear light soap/hair partial blocks, but they don't touch grease plugs or roots, they damage older pipes and seals, and they make the drain hazardous for the plumber who eventually opens it. For a fully blocked drain, go mechanical.

Relining inserts a resin-saturated liner into the damaged pipe and cures it in place — a new pipe inside the old one, with no excavation. It usually beats dig-and-replace where the pipe runs under driveways, slabs or landscaping, and most liners carry multi-decade warranties.

After a second blockage in the same line, before buying a house, or when you suspect root intrusion or a collapsed pipe. The camera shows exactly what and where the problem is, so you fix the cause instead of paying for repeat clearances.

Generally you own the pipes within your property boundary, while shared or public sewers are the utility's (or body corporate's) problem. If sewage backs up from a shared line, report it to the utility before paying a private contractor — it may be cleared free.

Many areas — especially villages and older suburbs — still use septic tanks or absorption pits. If drains slow across the whole house, the tank is likely full and needs a tanker, not a drain cleaner. Your sewerage-board bill (or its absence) tells you which system you have.
