BATH – SHOWER BLOCKAGE is one of the most common problems faced by home and business owners in Glyfada. The problem can start gradually, with the slow drainage of water, and end in a complete blockage that makes it impossible to use the bathroom. The unclogging company VLACHOS in GLYFADA has the experience, equipment and know-how to deal with any case of bathtub or shower blockage immediately and effectively.
What causes BATH – SHOWER BLOCKAGE?
There are various causes of blockage and the first step to effectively treating it is a correct diagnosis. The main causes can come from various factors such as physical, natural and misuse:
- Hair Buildup : The most common cause of bathtub clogs is the accumulation of hair in the drain and drain pipes. The hair gets tangled with soap, shampoo and other oily residues, creating dense masses that prevent the smooth flow of water.
- Soap Scum and Cosmetic Residue : Soaps, shower gels, creams and other hygiene products leave residues that stick to the walls of pipes. Over time, these residues accumulate and significantly reduce the cross-section of the pipes. It is a cumulative condition of different materials that is directly related to time and use.
- Salts : The hard water found in various areas of Attica contains high concentrations of salts. These are deposited in the pipes, creating coatings that narrow the diameter of the pipes.
- Foreign Objects : Small objects such as bottle caps, jewelry, bath toys or other items can accidentally fall into the drain and cause a blockage.
- Aging and Wear of the Network : Old pipes may show corrosion, cracks or deformations that favor the accumulation of dirt and blockage.
Symptoms of blockage that require immediate intervention
Early recognition of symptoms can prevent the problem from worsening:
- Slow drainage of water from the bathtub or shower
- Standing water that doesn’t drain at all
- Unpleasant odors coming from the siphon
- Gurgling and unusual sounds during drainage
- Lifting water to other points in the sewer
- Water overflowing from the bathtub or shower during use
When you notice any of these signs, it is important to immediately contact our professional technicians at GLYFADA VLACHOS BLOCKAGES.
Professional clogging methods
Our company uses modern techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to deal with every case:
High Pressure Water Jetting : The most effective method for completely cleaning pipes. Using a special machine that sprays high pressure water, all deposits, grease, hair and salts are removed from the walls of the pipes. This method is ecological and does not use chemicals.
Electromechanical Spiral : For more stubborn blockages, we use a special electric spiral with various heads that adapt to the type of blockage. The spiral enters the pipe and mechanically dissolves the obstacles.
Inspection Camera : In cases of recurring blockage or when a structural problem is suspected, we use inspection cameras to accurately identify the cause of the problem.

Prevention tips for BATH – SHOWER BLOCKAGE
Prevention is always the best solution. It is certainly difficult to prioritize the maintenance of the bathtub drain, a part of the house that is not visible. However, it becomes easier if you follow a few simple tips, with which you can reduce the possibility of a BATH CLOGGING.
Use a Drain Screen : Place a screen or strainer in the drain to trap hair and other small objects. It is a good idea to clean it regularly.
Siphon Cleaning : At regular intervals (every 2-3 months) remove and clean the siphon of accumulated dirt.
Hot Water : Once a week, run hot water for a few minutes to dissolve grease and soap residue.
Be careful with products : Avoid pouring products that do not dissolve easily or that contain large masses down the drain. Normally we do not throw any garbage down the drain.
Professional Cleaning : Schedule regular professional cleaning of the sewer network (annually or every two years) to keep it in excellent condition.
Professional blockages in all buildings with safety
Each blockage case is unique and requires an individualized approach. At GLYFADA VLACHOS BLOCKAGES we have successfully dealt with multiple types of problems in a wide variety of different buildings:
Unblocking Old Buildings : Old buildings in Glyfada often have galvanized iron or lead pipes that have corroded over the years. We use special techniques that do not cause further damage to these sensitive pipes.
Blockages in New Constructions : In new constructions, the problem is often due to installation errors or construction problems. We accurately identify the cause and propose permanent solutions.
Blockages in Hotels and Commercial Spaces : Glyfada hotels and commercial spaces require immediate treatment with discretion and minimal disruption to customers. We organize our interventions so that the operation of the business is not affected.
Environmental Responsibility
Our company places particular emphasis on environmental protection. We prefer mechanical methods such as water jetting instead of using aggressive chemicals. When we need to use products, we choose biodegradable and environmentally friendly materials that do not burden the ecosystem. In addition, we comply with all regulations for the management of waste arising from our operations, ensuring that all materials are disposed of in the correct manner.
Cost and Duration of Work
The cost of a blockage depends on several factors such as the severity of the problem, the method used, and the accessibility of the pipes.
Most bathtub or shower blockages are resolved within 1-2 hours. In more complex cases that require more extensive intervention, the duration may be extended, but we always try to complete the work as quickly as possible.
We offer flexible maintenance packages for professionals, apartment buildings or for owners of multiple properties. Our pricing is always realistic and competitive, without sacrificing the quality of our services.
