Drain Unblocking in Tallinn — 24/7 Emergency Service
WC, sink, shower, pipes — we clear every blockage fast and permanently
A blocked drain is one of the most common plumbing problems in Tallinn — it can happen to anyone, usually at the worst possible moment. The Torupro team arrives on average within 1–2 hours and clears the blockage with professional equipment, quickly and cleanly. We work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Signs of a blocked drain that prompt calls to us: kitchen sink drains slowly and smells; WC does not empty after flushing; a puddle forms under the shower; washing machine gives an error code; a sewer smell comes from the apartment floor drain. In all these situations a quick solution is critically important — especially when water is seeping to the flat below. We clear blockages in every section of the drainage system: kitchen sink and dishwasher outlet; bathroom, shower and washing-machine drain; WC pan and bidet fitting; floor drain and trap; inter-floor sewage riser; and outdoor sewer runs including long underground sections. We use three main methods depending on the blockage type and location: mechanical cleaning with rods and spirals — suitable for compact short blockages (grease, soap or paper plugs); hydro-jetting with a high-pressure water jet (up to 200 bar) — removes the most stubborn grease, scale and sand layers; enzymatic treatment — used as preventive maintenance or as a supplement to jetting for grease-trap-related blockages. For each blockage we choose the optimal method — ensuring the clog is gone permanently, not just pushed further along the pipe. For recurring blockages — when the same spot blocks every couple of months — we strongly recommend combining the clean with a camera inspection. The camera shows precisely whether the cause is grease build-up, root intrusion in the outdoor sewer, structural pipe damage (displaced joint, cracked pipe) or incorrect slope. We fix the cause, not just the symptom — so there is no next call. Across all Tallinn districts (Lasnamäe, Mustamäe, Põhja-Tallinn, Kristiine, Nõmme, Pirita, city centre) we typically arrive in 1–2 hours. In Harjumaa (Rae, Viimsi, Saue, Keila) response time is up to 2–3 hours. The service price is fixed and clear before work starts — no surprises. Night and weekend surcharges apply only for genuine emergency call-outs. Call now: +372 56 877 877.
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes recurring drain blockages?
Recurring blockages usually point to one of four causes: grease and soap build-up on pipe walls; root intrusion into outdoor sewers (especially in older trench-laid pipes); structural pipe damage (displaced joint, incorrect slope); or the pipe diameter is simply too small for the load. A camera inspection identifies the exact cause.
What to do if the toilet overflows and water goes to the flat below?
Immediately shut off water at the main stopcock or WC inlet valve. Call us: +372 56 877 877 — we are available 24/7. Do not use the WC or any drain until the blockage is cleared. Be sure to notify downstairs neighbours and document any damage with photos.
How long does drain unblocking take?
A typical apartment blockage (sink, shower, WC) is cleared in 30–60 minutes. More complex blockages (long outdoor sewer runs, grease plugs in a production building) may take 1–3 hours. We always give a time estimate before starting work.
Do you use chemicals and do they damage old pipes?
We prefer mechanical cleaning and hydro-jetting, which are more effective and do not damage old cast-iron or PVC pipes. Chemicals (enzymatic cleaners) are used only for preventive maintenance — they do not corrode pipes. We do not use aggressive chemicals such as alkaline drain openers.
