    Plumber in Gangnam-gu

    Estimated arrival (varies with traffic): About 20–30 minutes

    We aim to dispatch within 30 minutes of your call; arrival time can vary with traffic and call volume.

    Gangnam is dominated by officetels and high-rise apartments. In these buildings the drain from your unit joins a shared riser very quickly, so the real question is almost always whether the blockage is inside your flat or in the building's stack — and that changes who pays.

    Café sink draining extremely slowly

    Symptom
    Water pooled in a Gangnam café sink as milk fat, coffee oil and syrup residue narrowed the trap and wall-pipe entrance.
    Diagnosis and work
    The S-trap was opened and cleared before a small high-pressure hose cleaned the branch. A high-volume water test confirmed restored drainage.

    Typical local issues

    • Officetel units where the kitchen and bathroom share one branch line
    • Shared risers — several units on the same line slow down together
    • Building management requiring a written report before authorising work
    • Cafés and small offices with under-sink grease build-up

    In officetels, building management often wants documentation. We can issue a work report in English and Korean with photos and camera footage.

    Customer feedback from this area

    • Our apartment drain backed up at dawn. They arrived in 30 minutes, fixed it neatly, and were kind. The price was reasonable too.

    Questions we get in this area

    My building management asks for documentation before approving work. Can you provide it?

    Yes. We can issue a written work report in English and Korean, including photos and endoscope camera footage, which is usually what officetel and apartment management offices ask for.

    Several units in my officetel drain slowly at the same time. What does that mean?

    That normally points to the shared riser rather than your own line. It is worth telling building management before booking private work, because a shared-stack blockage is usually the building's responsibility, not yours.
