Drain cleaning for homes across Kitchener-Waterloo

A drain that empties slowly today is often a drain that stops completely next month. Hair, soap, grease and food scraps build up on the inside of the pipe until the water has nowhere to go.

We clear blockages in kitchen and bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, laundry drains, basement floor drains and the main line that carries waste from your house to the city sewer. When the same drain keeps blocking, we look for the reason, such as a sagging pipe or tree roots growing into an older sewer line, so the problem does not keep coming back.

Signs you need drain cleaning

  • Water drains slowly from a sink, tub or shower
  • Gurgling from a drain or toilet when you run water somewhere else
  • A sewage smell from a floor drain or sink
  • Water backing up into a basement floor drain
  • More than one fixture blocked at the same time, which usually points to the main line

How the job works

  1. Find the blockage

    We ask which fixtures are affected and run water to work out whether the problem is in one drain or in the main line.

  2. Clear the line

    We feed a drain auger, a motorized cable that cuts through and pulls out the blockage, into the pipe from the nearest access point.

  3. Test the flow

    We run water through every affected fixture to confirm it drains at a normal speed.

  4. Explain what we found

    If roots, a broken pipe or a repeat buildup caused the blockage, we tell you what we saw and what your options are.

Common questions

Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use?

They can loosen a light buildup, but strong products can damage older pipes and make the job harder for whoever opens the drain next. If a plunger does not clear it, it is better to stop there.

Why does my basement floor drain back up?

The floor drain is usually the lowest opening in the house, so a blockage in the main sewer line shows up there first. Water rising from that drain is a sign the main line needs attention.

What should I stop putting down my drains?

Cooking grease, coffee grounds, wipes labelled flushable and cotton swabs cause most household blockages. Grease is the worst of them, because it hardens as it cools and catches everything else.
