The invention relates to a suction head (10) for suctioning drill cuttings accumulated when introducing a bore into an underlying surface (32), comprising a housing (12) which has a drill receiving area (28) for inserting a drill (30), a suction channel (36) that runs from the drill receiving area (28) to a suction connection (38) for a suction assembly, and a suction hood (60) that is surrounded by a sealing element (56) in a peripheral direction, can be placed on the underlying surface (32) with the interposition of the sealing element (56), and is fluidically connected to the suction channel (36). The aim of the invention is to develop the suction head (10) such that the risk of the suction head (10) detaching from the underlying surface (32) due to pressure fluctuations occurring in the suction channel (36) is reduced. According to the invention, this is achieved in that a non-return valve (72) which opens in the direction of the suction channel (36) is arranged in the flow path between the suction hood (60) and the suction channel (36).
