Can you come today / is this an emergency service?

Yes — a blocked toilet or a sewer backing up into the house is an emergency and we respond same-day, with a stated arrival window for your area. Call us and describe it; the sooner we are on site the less mess and damage.

Why does my drain or toilet keep blocking?

Recurring blockages usually mean a cause downstream — grease and scale build-up, a partial collapse, root intrusion, or a soakaway/septic that is full and cannot take the flow (common on Accra clay soils). That is why we run a CCTV camera on repeat blockages: clearing it again and again without finding the cause just delays the real fix.

What should I avoid doing to a blocked drain?

Avoid repeated strong chemical drain cleaners — they rarely clear a real blockage, can damage older pipes, and make the line hazardous for whoever opens it. Stop using the fixture, and call a plumber; a plunger is fine to try once, harsh chemicals are not.

A blocked drain or toilet is one of the few plumbing problems that cannot wait — water backs up, it smells, and it stops the house. Plumbers Ghana clears blocked toilets, sinks, sewers, and gully traps across Accra, same-day and on emergency call, and has done since 1987.

Blocked Right Now? What to Do First

Stop using the fixture so it does not overflow, and call us. A plunger is fine to try once; what does not help is pouring harsh chemical drain cleaner down a blocked line — it rarely clears a real blockage, can damage older pipes, and makes the drain dangerous for whoever opens it. The faster a plumber is on site, the less mess and damage you deal with.

Blockages We Clear

Blocked Toilets

The most common emergency — a toilet that will not flush away or rises when flushed. Cleared at the pan or in the branch, with the cause checked if it keeps happening.

Blocked Sinks, Showers & Gully Traps

Kitchen sinks (grease and food), bathroom traps (hair and soap), and outdoor gully traps — rodded and augered, then flushed clear.

Blocked Sewers & Main Lines

A whole-house backup usually means the main sewer or the connection to the septic/soakaway. We rod, jet, and camera the main line to clear it and find why it blocked.

Full Septic / Soakaway

On Accra’s clay soils, soakaways fill and force the system to back up. Where the tank is full we arrange tanker emptying (indicatively GH₵400–800 by tank size) and advise on the soakaway.

How We Clear & Find the Cause

Method	Used for
Plunger / hand auger	Simple toilet, sink and trap blockages
Drain rods	Branch lines and accessible runs
Electric auger (drain snake)	Tougher build-up and longer runs
High-pressure water jetting	Grease, scale and root intrusion in the main sewer
CCTV drain camera	Recurring blockages — finds the cause (collapse, roots, fall)

What It Costs — Honestly

No general plumber in Ghana publishes a flat drain-unblocking price, because it genuinely depends on what is blocked, where, and how badly. We do not pretend otherwise: we give you a price from a quick on-site look before we start — never a surprise after. The one published figure in this market is septic-tank emptying — indicatively GH₵400–800 by tank size (a separate tanker job). Everything else is quoted on the spot.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does drain unblocking cost in Accra? A simple toilet or sink is at the lower end; a main-sewer blockage needing the machine, jetting or a CCTV survey costs more. No Ghana plumber publishes a flat price because it depends on what is blocked and how badly — so we quote from a quick on-site look before we start. A full septic tank is a separate tanker job (indicatively GH₵400–800 by size).
