Blocked toilet right now? The first five minutes
Do this before you call. It stops a blockage from turning into water damage.
1
Do not flush again. Every flush adds water to the bowl. The second one usually overflows.
2
Close the angle valve. The small valve (Eckventil) behind or under the cistern turns clockwise. It stops the cistern from refilling.
3
Check the other drains. If the shower or sink gurgles when you flush, the blockage is further down the pipe and a plunger will not reach it.
4
Water on the floor? Soak it up with towels, unplug anything electrical on the floor and take a few photos for your landlord or insurance.

Renting? Tell your landlord first
In Germany the landlord (Vermieter) is responsible for keeping the pipes of the building in working order. In most Berlin rental buildings your day-to-day contact is the Hausverwaltung, the property management company. Its phone number is often on a notice in the stairwell or in your rental contract.
Report the blockage there first. If the cause is old or narrowed pipes, the landlord usually pays. If something flushed from your flat caused it, such as wet wipes or cooking fat, you may have to pay yourself. Our invoice states what we found in the pipe, which helps settle the question.
Only call a plumber yourself if nobody at the Hausverwaltung can be reached and it cannot wait, for example when your only toilet is blocked or water is overflowing. We also work in the area around Berlin: Umland. Information for property managers (in German): Hausverwaltungen.
Keep a record
Note when you reported the problem and to whom, and keep photos and our invoice. That makes any discussion about costs with your landlord much easier.
General information, not legal advice. Tenants‘ associations such as the Berliner Mieterverein advise their members.
