  1. Problem identification:

Detect the source of the problem by carefully examining the pipes and water access points. Look for leaks, blockages or visible signs of damage.

  1. Water supply cut-off:

Before starting any repairs, be sure to close the main water supply valve to prevent unwanted flows or spills.

  1. Clog removal:

If the problem is a blockage, use a plunger or a drain cleaner to unblock the blocked drains. Don’t forget your protective gloves for this task.

  1. Leak repair:

In the event of run-off, locate the source precisely and assess the extent of the damage. Use sealing materials such as waterproof adhesive tape or mastic to plug small leaks. In the event of a major leak, the damaged section of conduit may have to be replaced.

If components such as seals or valves are damaged, they need to be replaced with the right spare parts. Be sure to shut off the water supply before replacing any faulty components.

If drains or water inlets show structural deterioration, are cracked or have collapsed, structural reinforcement is required. This is done with support materials. In this case, the intervention of a construction or civil engineering specialist is required.

  1. Test:

After completing the necessary repairs, carefully open the water supply valve and inspect the area carefully for any residual leaks or persistent malfunctions. Also test drains for proper operation by subjecting them to a water flow test to ensure that they function properly.

  1. Cleaning and Maintenance:

Once the repair work is complete, clean the area thoroughly, making sure to remove any debris that may be blocking drains or water inlets. Set up a maintenance routine to anticipate future problems.

  1. Use of a Professional:

In the event of complications, or if the situation is beyond your capabilities, it’s advisable to call in a plumbing expert or drainage system specialist for appropriate assistance.

By closely observing these steps, several common complications involving drains and water inlets in your home can be resolved. Make sure you take appropriate safety precautions and, if necessary, call in a specialist to ensure that repairs are carried out safely and correctly.
