Check pipes: find craftsmen, get offers and find out costs

Signs that your pipes need cleaning include slow water flow, frequent blockages, unpleasant odours from the drains and gurgling noises in the pipes.

It is recommended to have the pipework cleaned preventively every 1-2 years to prevent blockages and damage. For older pipe systems or frequent problems, more frequent cleaning may be necessary. If you are not sure, you can also have a diagnosis carried out using a camera to determine the condition of the pipes.

Minor blockages can often be cleared with household remedies such as a plunger or a pipe cleaning spiral. However, for stubborn blockages or for preventive maintenance, it is advisable to hire a professional tradesman to prevent damage to the pipes and ensure thorough cleaning.

The cost of professional pipe cleaning varies depending on the scope of the work, the type of blockage and regional price differences. On average, homeowners can expect to pay between CHF 150 and CHF 400. It is advisable to obtain several quotes to find the best value for money.
