Emergency sewage service in Mykonos: overflows, blockages and backflow
Metafores Lymaton Santorinaios runs an emergency sewage service in Mykonos 24/7 for overflowing cesspits, blocked drains and sewage backing up into homes, villas and businesses. We usually reach you within 1 to 2 hours from our base in Marathi. Call or WhatsApp +30 693 673 2110 now.
How it works
Our base in Marathi is in the middle of the island, so we can reach Chora, Ornos, Agios Stefanos, Kalafatis or Elia without crossing all of Mykonos. In the busiest weeks of summer traffic can slow us down, and we tell you honestly when to expect us.

More details
When to call us straight away
Some sewage problems can wait for a booked visit. These cannot. If you see any of the following, call us and we will send a tanker as soon as possible.
- A cesspit or septic tank overflowing into the garden, the road or a neighbour's property
- Toilets, showers or floor drains backing up with dirty water
- Several drains in the house blocked at the same time
- A strong sewage smell that does not go away
- Sewage near a pool, a terrace or a guest area
- A grease trap or kitchen drain overflowing during service
What to do while you wait
A few simple steps keep the damage small and make our job faster when we arrive.
- Stop using water: no showers, flushing, dishwasher or washing machine.
- Keep children, guests and pets away from the overflow.
- Do not climb into or lean over an open tank; the gases are dangerous.
- Do not pour chemical drain cleaners into a blocked or overflowing system.
- Find the tank lid if you can and clear the way to it.
- Send us your location pin and a photo or short video on WhatsApp.
Blocked drains and the usual causes
An overflow is often not a full tank but a blocked pipe between the house and the tank. Wet wipes, kitchen grease, sanitary products, beach sand rinsed off in outdoor showers and tree roots are the most common culprits in Mykonos houses. We clear blockages and pump out at the same visit, so you do not need to call two different companies.
After the emergency we can suggest how to avoid a repeat: a regular emptying schedule, a grease trap for a busy kitchen, or simply a sign in the guest bathroom about what not to flush.

Every load we pump in an emergency is still disposed of properly, at a licensed facility. A fast job never means a shortcut.
