Your project in the canton of Valais
Valais follows the Rhône valley from Brig to Lake Geneva, with side valleys climbing up to mountain resorts. The canton is bilingual: French-speaking Lower Valais, around Sion, Martigny and Monthey, and German-speaking Upper Valais, with Brig and Visp. On the hillsides, vineyards surround villages of stone houses and old wooden granaries. Crans-Montana and Zermatt are home to chalets, holiday flats and hotels; in Zermatt, where cars are not allowed, transporting materials requires special arrangements. At altitude, snow and sunshine influence building techniques and the working season. Wherever you live in Valais, you can write your request in English. For a chalet, a traditional mazot or an alteration in an old town, check with your municipality whether approval is needed. Give the municipality and postcode and, in a resort or at altitude, access periods and transport arrangements to the building.
- For a chalet in a resort, note the altitude, the state of the road in winter and your availability for the work.
- In Upper Valais, say whether you are happy to communicate in German.
- For a village house among the vineyards, describe access via the lanes and the space for unloading materials.
Drain unblocking in the canton of Valais
In Valais, drain unblocking has to take account of altitude, tourism and agriculture. In Crans-Montana and Zermatt, chalets and holiday homes stand empty for part of the year: traps dry out, grease hardens, and the start of the season sometimes triggers a blockage. In the resorts, the kitchens of restaurants and hotels quickly fill their separators. On the Rhône plain, around Sion and Martigny, recent villas and apartment buildings stand alongside wine cellars and fruit farms that must clear sediment and washing water. In winter, frost threatens outdoor drains at altitude. When a pipe in Valais needs to be redone beneath the road, contact the municipality before starting.
- For a holiday chalet, ask for the drains to be checked before guests arrive, especially after a long absence.
- In a wine cellar, have the pipes cleaned after the harvest to prevent pomace from building up.

Frequently asked questions
How is a drain unblocked in Valais?
The specialist first locates the blockage, often with an inspection camera. They then choose a suitable technique, such as a drain rod or high-pressure jetting, and check that water flows freely again. Ask for a short report or images if the underlying cause needs further work.
What should I report if several drains back up together?
List every affected fixture and whether the problem changes when water is used elsewhere. Mention known inspection chambers and any products already used. Keep people away from contaminated water; avoid adding chemicals or dismantling shared pipework while waiting for assessment.
What should I compare in drain unblocking quotes?
Check whether inspection, unblocking, testing and a report are included. If damaged pipework or roots are found, ask for the evidence and a separate description of repairs; clearing a blockage and replacing a drain are different scopes.
How should I prepare for the drain unblocking visit or work?
Locate existing pipe plans or earlier inspection reports if available. Tell the specialist about cellar access and communal areas, and arrange permission with the property manager where necessary. Do not enter drains or inspection chambers yourself.
