Common Causes of Clogged Drains

  • Excessive bends and changes in direction
  • Overuse of toilet paper
  • Buildup of cooking oil, grease, hair, and debris

Kitchen Sink Drains

Kitchen sink drain pipes often become clogged with grease. Even if you don’t pour cooking oil directly down the sink, residual fats from dirty dishes can accumulate over time. A minimal slope in the drain pipe can further contribute to blockage. To clear kitchen sink clogs, we use a ½” or ⅝” cable snaking machine with a grease-cutting head. Running warm or hot water simultaneously while snaking enhances the cleaning process, so having a drain clean-out access installed downstream of the P-trap is important. Our licensed and experienced plumbers in Toronto specialize in kitchen sink unclogging and drain cleaning. Besides snaking, we also offer high-pressure power flushing to thoroughly remove grease and debris from the pipe walls.

Sewer and Main Drain Lines

Main drain lines and sewer pipes are usually located beneath the basement floor or underground outside. Clogs frequently occur in older clay pipes, which may experience dips, joint shifts, or tree root intrusion. Due to the 4” pipe size, we use a heavy-duty snaking machine with a 1” cable and specialized cutting heads to clear roots and other obstructions. Our knowledgeable plumbers also employ a drain camera to ensure the cleaning is thorough. In some cases, multiple snaking attempts are necessary to target specific areas of persistent clogs. Beyond clearing blockages, we conduct thorough inspections to determine the underlying cause of the issue. Often, pipe repairs or upgrades are needed for a permanent solution.
