Professional drain cleaning and maintenance services to prevent backups and water damage.
Sewer and drain cleaning is the professional clearing of blockages, buildup, and debris from your home's drainage system — including kitchen drains, bathroom drains, floor drains, main sewer lines, and the connections between your home and the municipal sewer system. Regular cleaning prevents the slow buildup of grease, soap, hair, sediment, and tree roots that gradually restricts flow and eventually causes complete blockages, backups, and flooding.
In Toronto, sewer line problems are particularly common in homes with older clay or concrete sewer pipes. These pipes, installed from the 1920s through the 1970s, develop cracks and joint separations over time that allow tree roots to enter. Roots grow toward the moisture inside the pipe, eventually filling the line with a dense root mass that traps solid waste and causes backups. Regular cleaning removes root growth before it reaches the point of complete blockage.
Why Choose Us
The difference between a preventive drain cleaning and an emergency call is significant — in both cost and consequences. A scheduled cleaning costs $150-$300 and takes 1-2 hours with no damage to your home. An emergency sewer backup can cause $10,000-$50,000+ in water damage, require professional mould remediation, and destroy irreplaceable belongings stored in the basement. We recommend annual drain cleaning for homes with trees near the sewer line and every 2-3 years for homes without root intrusion risk.
We use mechanical drain snakes and high-pressure water jetting to clear blockages and clean pipe walls. A drain snake feeds a rotating cutting head through the pipe to break apart clogs and cut through roots. Water jetting uses a high-pressure nozzle (up to 4,000 PSI) to scour the interior pipe walls, removing grease buildup, sedite, and residual root material that the snake loosened. The combination of both methods provides the most thorough cleaning available.
Don't Ignore the Signs
Every sewer cleaning we perform includes a camera inspection of the line. After cleaning, we feed a waterproof camera through the pipe to verify the cleaning is complete and to identify any structural problems — cracks, joint separations, bellies (low spots where water pools), root intrusion points, and pipe deterioration. The camera inspection is recorded and we provide you with the footage and our assessment of the pipe's condition.
Camera inspections frequently reveal problems that cleaning alone cannot solve. A pipe with a belly will continue to accumulate debris at the low point regardless of how often it's cleaned. A pipe with severe root intrusion at a cracked joint will need root cutting every 6-12 months unless the joint is repaired. And a pipe that has collapsed or separated needs replacement. We give you honest recommendations based on what the camera shows — including when cleaning is sufficient and when more significant repair or replacement is needed.
For Toronto homeowners experiencing slow drains throughout the house, gurgling sounds from fixtures, or sewage odours from floor drains, professional drain cleaning should be the first step before considering more expensive solutions. Many homeowners spend thousands on waterproofing when the actual problem is a partially blocked sewer line that's causing drainage to back up through the path of least resistance — often the basement floor drain. A $150-$300 cleaning can resolve what appears to be a major waterproofing problem.
We also provide drain cleaning as a complement to our waterproofing services. After installing interior drainage, sump pumps, or backwater valves, we clean the main sewer line to ensure the entire drainage system — from the new interior components through the sewer connection — flows freely. This integrated approach ensures all components of your home's water management system work together as designed.
Materials & Methods
A motorized cable with a rotating cutting head that feeds through the pipe, breaking apart soft blockages and cutting through tree root masses.
A specialized nozzle delivers water at up to 4,000 PSI to scour pipe walls, blast through grease buildup, and flush debris out of the line.
A waterproof camera on a flexible cable provides real-time video of the pipe interior, revealing cracks, root intrusion, bellies, and structural damage.
Our Process
We locate the main cleanout access point, assess the drainage problem, and determine the appropriate cleaning method based on the suspected blockage type.
A rotating drain snake is fed through the pipe to break apart clogs, cut through roots, and restore flow through the line.
A high-pressure water jet scours pipe walls to remove grease, sediment, and residual debris that the snake loosened — leaving the pipe interior clean.
A waterproof camera verifies the cleaning is complete and identifies any structural issues. We provide recorded footage and our assessment of the pipe's condition.
