Blocked Drain Services Toronto

Many of us have been there…we get up in the morning, go to brush our teeth, and when we try to rinse our toothbrush, all we see is murky, grayish water building up in the sink, with barely any water draining.

Or, your child comes out of the bathroom exclaiming that they flushed the toilet, but it won’t work! So you run into the bathroom only to find a very clogged toilet for you to deal with.

Both situations are very unpleasant (and often smelly!) and are caused by blocked drains. But not only are they unpleasant, these plumbing issues are unsanitary and can cause longer-term problems with your drainage system.

So What Causes A Blocked Drain?

Many reasons can cause a drain blockage, and they often depend on where the blockage occurred.

Here are some of the top causes of a clogged drain:


  • Grease and fat


Kitchens are one of the most high-traffic areas in our home. And with many meals being prepared, dishes being washed and food particles floating around, our kitchen drains are prime areas to become blocked. 

Grease, fats, oil and bits of food that are washed off in the kitchen sink can build up over time, restricting the flow of water. 


  • Hair


Bathroom sinks and tubs are prime areas to experience issues with a clogged drain. Hair is one of the major causes of a drain blockage in your bathroom and can accumulate over time in your drain along with other dirt, grime and skin cells. Oftentimes, the clog gets to the point that even drain cleaners can’t clear the clog.


  • Foreign objects and toiletries


Have you ever found a child’s toy in your toilet? Tried to flush baby wipes, paper towels or personal hygiene products? All of these items that are not meant to be flushed down a toilet can build up in your drain, causing a clog that sometimes cannot be unblocked with a plunger alone. 


  • Trees and leaves


We often don’t give a second thought to drains that are outside of our home. But decomposing leaves, especially if you live in an area with lots of trees, can build up and cause a blockage in your drains.


This is an issue many people experience in the fall, when the leaves have fallen, and the wind blows them, blocking your drain. Tree roots can also obstruct and block drainage lines, prevent water from draining properly, cause a major plumbing problem, and even causing sewage to back up into your home.

In this instance you will definitely need a
tree roots removal service for your main sewer line.

Signs You Have A Blocked Drain

How can you tell if you have a blocked drain? 


Oftentimes, when you have a clogged drain, you’ll experience:


  • Slow water drainage
  • Gurgling sounds coming from your drains or toilet
  • Nasty odours coming from the drain
  • Water backing up in your sink, tub or toilet
  • Water on the floor around your toilet, sink, shower or bathtub. Water around floor drains are common when there is a leak in the basement.

DIY Solutions For Your Blocked Drain

Once you are certain you have a blocked drain. What do you do now?

Before searching for drain cleaning services or blocked drain services, there are a few DIY solutions that you can give a go first:

  • Plunging - if your sink or toilet is draining very slowly, try plunging the drain with a push/pull motion for a few seconds. Depending on the clog, you may notice the water begins to flow pretty quickly

  • Clear any visible items - if you see visible items that could be blocking your drain, such as food debris, foreign items, kids toys or leaves, try clearing them from the drain to see if that can solve the problem

  • Try boiling water - sometimes, depending on what has caused the blocked drain, pouring dish soap and boiling water down the drain can dissolve some of the build up and allow water to start to run freely again.

When To Call A Plumbing Professional

If you have tried everything, but nothing seems to help with a very clogged drain, it’s time to call a professional. At DrainWorks Plumbing, rest assured we have you covered. By calling one of our licensed Toronto plumbers and qualified service technicians, you can be on your way to an unclogged drain in no time!


Our licensed and experienced plumbers offer drain cleaning services in Toronto and the GTA. We have multiple tools and options to help clear your drains, so they begin to flow properly again. And by calling one of our professionals, you’ll have the peace of mind that your blocked drains will be cleared quickly and efficiently.

We use a variety of different methods to tackle your drain blockage, including drain cleaning, hydro jetting (water jetting), tree roots removal, drain snaking services (rootering), and if needed, drain replacements.

Professional Drain Cleaning Services in Toronto

If a Toronto homeowner is in need of a drain cleaning plumber, or a drain maintenance service, we always recommend hiring a licensed plumber.


We understand that using a non-licensed service provider has cost savings attached to it, but in our experience homeowners actually save money in the long run by getting their plumbing repairs and blocked drain services Toronto done right, the first time.


Often, if an unlicensed plumber can't complete a straightforward kitchen drain cleaning service, he or she might actually do MORE damage or compound the blocked drain by trying to "Macgyver" a short term solution to accept payment and leave.


Further to this, we recommend that your drain cleaning plumbing contractor be fully insured for just these type of situations. Using an insured plumber ensures any lawsuits will be handed by the insurance company and gives the homeowner peace of mind that they won't be left in the cold should an accident happen.
