Drain Unblocking & Cleaning

Drain unblocking in Tallinn is one of the most common plumber call-outs. A blocked drain can happen to anyone — grease build-up in kitchen pipes, hair accumulation in shower drains, toilet paper blockages or a larger problem in the shared sewer of an apartment building. FastPlumber clears blocked drains in Tallinn using professional methods with a response time of 30–60 minutes, 24/7. Our hydro-jetting service starts from €80 and all results are guaranteed.

Types of Drain Blockages in Tallinn

Different types of blockages require different solutions. Our drain specialists in Tallinn first identify the cause of the blockage and then choose the most effective method:

Kitchen Sink Blockage

Kitchen sink blockages form mainly from grease, food waste and soap residue accumulating in the trap and pipework. Grease blockages are progressive over time — first water drains slowly, then stops completely. A mechanical cleaning machine or hydro pump removes the grease layer quickly and effectively.

Toilet Blockage

A blocked toilet is one of the most unpleasant problems at home. The cause is often toilet paper, wet wipes, children's toys or other foreign objects entering the drain. Our plumber uses professional toilet unblocking equipment that clears the blockage without damaging the toilet.

Shower and Bathroom Drain Blockage

Hair and soap residue accumulating in shower drains form a dense plug that prevents water from flowing. A mechanical cleaning cable removes the hair plug quickly; hydro-jetting also cleans the biofilm from pipe walls.

Main Sewer Blockage

Apartment buildings often experience blockages in the shared main sewer where waste accumulates in the collector. These are more severe blockages requiring powerful hydro-jetting — FastPlumber uses equipment operating up to 200 bar pressure, penetrating even the most stubborn blockages.

Drain Unblocking Methods in Tallinn

Our drain clearing service in Tallinn uses three main methods, combined based on the type of blockage:

Mechanical Cleaning

A cleaning cable (electric spiral) is fed into the pipework and breaks up and removes the blockage through rotational movement. Well suited for grease, hair and softer blockages. A fast and effective method for standard drain blockages.

Hydro Jetting (Pressure Washing)

Pressure jetting is the most effective way to clean drains. A high-pressure water jet (80–200 bar) removes all grease, scale and biofilm from pipe walls. Hydro-jetting is ideal for both small pipe blockages and large sewer pipe cleaning. Prices in Tallinn start from €80 and results are guaranteed.

CCTV Camera Inspection

Sometimes the cause of a blockage is a deeper problem — a cracked pipe, tree roots in the drain, or shifted pipes. Camera inspection lets us view the inside of pipework in real time without any excavation. The video is sent to the client as a file, which is also useful for insurance claims.
