Common signs are water draining slowly, gurgling sounds, bad smells from the drain, and water backing up into a tub or floor drain. If several fixtures are slow at the same time, the blockage is likely in the main drain rather than a single sink.

It depends on which drain is blocked, how far down the clog is, how easy the access point is to reach, and whether a camera inspection is needed. A single sink is a smaller job than a main drain. We look at the problem first and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Yes. We offer same-day drain cleaning across North York, including Willowdale, Bayview Village, York Mills, Don Mills, Bathurst Manor and Downsview, and we answer emergency calls 24/7.

We don't recommend it. Chemical cleaners rarely clear a solid clog, they can damage older metal pipes and fixtures, and the chemicals sitting in the pipe make the job less safe for whoever opens the drain next. Boiling water can also soften plastic pipe joints. If plunging doesn't work, call a plumber.

Grease and food scraps are the usual cause. Grease cools and sticks to the pipe walls, and food catches on it until the line closes up. Kitchen drain cleaning removes the buildup from the whole line, not just the trap, so it doesn't come back a week later.

The floor drain is usually the lowest point in the house, so when the main drain is blocked, water from the laundry or toilets comes up there first. Stop using water and call us. If it only happens during heavy rain, the city sewer may be backing up, and a backwater valve is the long-term fix.

Yes, for recurring clogs and main drain problems. The camera shows whether the blockage is grease, roots, a collapsed section or a sag in the pipe, so we choose the right fix instead of guessing. You can watch the video with the technician.

Yes. Roots from mature trees get into small cracks and joints in older clay and cast-iron pipes, which are common in North York neighbourhoods like Don Mills and York Mills. We cut the roots out to restore flow. If the pipe itself is broken, we'll show you the footage and talk through sewer line repair options.

Yes. We replace corroded or damaged drain sections, install new drain lines for basement renovations, and connect drains for new sinks, tubs and laundry. All work follows the Ontario Building Code.

Put grease in the garbage, not the sink. Use hair catchers in showers and tubs. Never flush wipes, even ones labelled flushable. If you've had repeat clogs or have an older home with mature trees nearby, a yearly drain cleaning keeps the main line clear.
