It’s essential to maintain clear drains to uphold the health and efficiency of your plumbing system. If you do have a blocked drain on your hands, you’ll want to get in touch with our local plumbers at City Rooter. After accurately identifying why your drains are clogged, we will employ any one of our available drain cleaning solutions: drain hydro jetting, drain line cleaning, or drain snaking to fix the issue promptly.

Common Signs You Have Clogged Drains

It’s important to detect warning signs of plumbing issues early to save you from time-consuming and costly drain repairs in the future. If you suspect your drain is blocked, look for these common signs and contact our drain cleaning plumbers immediately.

  • Slow Draining: One slow-moving drain might indicate an isolated blockage. However, if you notice that multiple drains are functioning slowly, a more significant issue might be at hand.
  • Gurgling Noises: This sound occurs when trapped air bubbles, water, and waste float back up the drain because they cannot flush through your sewer line properly.
  • Foul Smell: If you smell a foul odour emanating from your bathtub, sink, or floor drain, this may be because of a blockage coming from your main sewer line.

Our Professional Drain Cleaning Services

Depending on the cause of your clogged drain and the severity of the backup, we will choose from one of the following three professional drain cleaning services we offer:

This is the most effective and fastest method of drain cleaning. Instead of dumping harmful and corrosive chemical cleaners down your drain, our hydro jetting experts use high-pressure water to scrub your pipes clean. Drain hydro jetting is safe, toxic-free, and can help you avoid costly replacement parts. It also does not expose your drains to further damage, increasing the longevity of your plumbing system.

Drains can become clogged due to a variety of factors such as hair and soap buildup, and this can happen naturally even from standard, recommended usage. Our drain line cleaning services are used to ensure your drains remain clear and functional and to prevent blocked toilets, kitchen sink clogs, bad smells, slow draining, clogged bathtubs, drain line backup, and clogged main drains.

Drain snaking is typically used with a hooked, bladed, or corkscrew-tipped cable in difficult situations such as unclogging a drainpipe or dislodging a sanitary sewer drain. Our plumber first inserts the end of the snake into the blocked drain, feeding the cable into the pipe until it reaches the clog. What’s more is that improper snaking can cause damage such as busting holes in your pipes, creating more clogs, water back-ups, and can even lead to injuries. Leave your drain problems to the City Rooter drain cleaning Toronto specialists.

Our 24/7 availability is open to care for and aid residential and commercial residents when you need quick response times and the ability to address emergencies efficiently.

DIY vs. Professional Drain Cleaning

There are limitations and potential risks if attempting to clean a drain yourself. These include using a harmful drain cleaner, worsening the issue, or facing the dangers of using a plumbing snake. DIY drain cleaning is however more cost-effective and time-efficient because you do not need to coordinate schedules.

On the other hand, by choosing our drain cleaning company, you get to benefit from our professionally qualified and experienced plumbing specialists who know exactly how to handle the drains at your home or business premises. Not only are our practices effective, but we prioritize safety and excellence when providing timely, high-quality service.

I highly recommend Alexie and his partner for all your plumbing needs. We recently moved to a new home and had an issue in our main bathroom, I called Alexie and he was able to come to my place for inspection within few hours only. Luckily the fix was easy and the price was fair and reasonable. City Rooters are definitely my go to for future plumbing needs.

Hands down the best contractor I’ve ever hired to work at our home. Super nice owner and crew, incredible workmanship, clean, and fair price. There’s no reason to look elsewhere, City Rooter is #1 in my books. Thank you so much for the couple weeks of sewer and waterproofing work you did @ our home. It’s such a great feeling knowing you picked the right contractor for the job.

We would highly recommend City Rooter Plumbing & Drain Services. We were flooded like so many in our area. After the recommendations of several of our neighbours, we had them installed a back water valve on our main drain. They were knowledgeable and professional. We feel confident the job was done well and will make a difference in the future.

Timely and trustworthy company. I would definitely recommend hiring Alexei and his team for your next plumbing project whether big or small. They completed main house water and sewer upgrades, Guest house water and sewer lines and all rough in work. All work was done within timelines agreed and site was left clean. I would give them more than 5 stars if that was an option.

I hired City Rooter Plumbing to upgrade the private side of my main water line from lead to copper in downtown Toronto. It's a tight site, but that was not a challenge or obstacle for them. They did not make a fuss about working downtown and potential parking issues (which is something I hear often from other trades). Alexei and his brother were informative and generous with their time and knowledge while meeting with me to provide the initial estimate (they offered me guidance on the underground drains, which was outside the scope). They seem to care about their work and take pride in it. A crew of three showed up and completed the job on time. Alexei was very communicative. The entire crew did not mind if I watched (it was neat to watch the torpedo in action for the trenchless water line replacement).

Great plumbing company. Alexei and his partner are both great to work with.I have used them twice, once for a back up in my laundry room (unfortunately they could not help as it was a city related issue) but they came and did everything they could to help and were very fair and honest in price.The second time was for two bad valves on my water heater. They arrived same day, quickly fixed the issue and once again were very professional and fair.I would definitely recommend Alexei for any plumbing related work.It's great to see that there are still honest and knowledgeable contractors out there!

A great experience based on a large residential renovation/ bathroom remodel. The team was reliable, hard working and all around good guys who seemed very trustworthy.They even returned to the house afterwards to help address an issue that arose after the fact (not due to their error).
