Preventative Maintenance

If your drainage lines seem to be working well with no obvious problems and you'd really like to ensure they stay that way, the best type of preventative maintenance is drain cleaning. Homeowners often underestimate the positive impact that regular maintenance can have on their wastewater disposal lines. Many people assume that clogs are just a fact of life that has to be dealt with, but that's not necessarily true—by investing in video inspection and routine drain cleaning, households can free themselves from ever having to cope with another annoying, inconvenient clog. As an added bonus, regular maintenance, such as drain cleaning, extends the service life of your drain lines, so you won't need to worry about replacement for longer.

Plus, if there are issues in the sewer line, we’ll be able to determine it and tackle it before it wreaks havoc. This includes detecting tree root intrusion or early signs of pipe corrosion before they result in costly damages, like water or structural damage.

When it comes to preventative drain cleaning, the plumbers at Mr. Rooter Plumbing choose to use HydroScrub^® jetting. This advanced tool is a type of high-water-pressure equipment that blasts away built-up substances and clog-causing debris to keep the inside of your drain pipes clear and functioning properly.

Clogged Drains

Are you looking for a "plumber near me" to take care of a drain blockage with professional drain cleaning? The plumbers on our team will generally start by investigating your plumbing system so they can figure out the exact location and nature of the problem to come up with the right solution for drain cleaning. Our service professionals specialize in hydro jetting—a machine that produces highly-pressurized jets of water capable of cutting through the soft blockages that form a tough clog and rinsing sticky substances such as solidified grease off the inside of wastewater pipe walls. It may also be necessary to use a mechanized drain auger, or plumbing snake, to work some types of blockages loose. Whatever the problem, our drain cleaning experts have the experience and equipment to ensure that your wastewater disposal lines are clear and functioning perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drain Cleaning

What Are the Signs That Drain Services Are Needed?

Not sure if you really need drain cleaning? We recommend that you check your calendar—if it's been more than a year since the last appointment, it's time for preventative drain cleaning. Some Etobicoke property owners might wait until there's a clear issue before they even think about calling an expert plumber. But there are some big benefits to avoiding problems in the first place with drain cleaning. Our plumbers will tell you about potential indications that trouble is coming down the pipe. Sometimes they aren't as obvious as people tend to think they'll be. That includes signs such as:

• Musty and foul odors coming out of drains
• Odd reactions from fixtures, like the toilet gurgling if you use the bathroom sink
• Low water pressure in one fixture only
• Strange noises from wastewater lines that sound like bubbling, sucking, grinding, or gurgling
• The kitchen sink or floor drain has gnats or sink flies hanging around it
• Wastewater backing up in fixtures close to the floor, such as floor drains and bathtubs

What Type of Chemical Cleaner Works Best for Drain Cleaning?

This is a question we often hear, but our Master plumbers typically don't recommend using chemical drain cleaners. It's okay to use an acid-based drain cleaner once in a rare while, but overuse can really have a negative effect on your wastewater disposal lines because the acid eats away at the pipe itself and can eventually cause weakening and problems such as pinhole leaks.

We also don't usually recommend DIY drain cleaner methods like baking soda and white vinegar. If you combine a cup of vinegar and a cup of baking soda in a closed environment, it has an explosive reaction. But your pipe is not a closed environment, so it's unlikely to make much impact on a stubborn clog and will just add to the problem. A pot of boiling water is also not likely to have a long-lasting effect, and the chance of scalding yourself isn't worth the risk. The best solution is to call our expert team for reliable drain cleaning services with effective results that extend the lifespan of your plumbing system.

What's the Correct Way to Clear a Clog With a Plunger?

Everyone has to contend with a sink or toilet clog at some point in their lives, and in many cases, it's possible to clear those blockages with plungers and some good, old-fashioned elbow grease. If you've got a clog, it's worth giving the plunger a try—but first, make sure you have the right tools on hand because not all plungers are created equal. If you've got a clogged sink or floor drain, you need a cup-shaped plunger that can form a seal over a flat drain opening. If you have a clogged toilet, you need a ball or bell-shaped plunger that can form a seal in a toilet drain. When you've got the right plunger in hand, follow these steps:

• Change into clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, put on your rubber gloves, and put some rags or old newspaper around the fixture you're working on to catch any unfortunate splashes.
• If you're plunging one side of a double sink, plug up the other side's drain with an old rag.
• If there's no water in the fixture, pour some in.
• With your gloves on, feel around an inch or two into the drain to see if there's anything right at the opening you can pull out.
• Place the plunger over the drain opening, push down slowly, and then pull up sharply to form a seal.
• Begin plunging by pushing the plunger down and pulling it up a bit. This part can take quite a while, so don't give up right away.

If you hear a gurgle and the water starts draining, you've done it! But if you plunge and plunge and nothing happens, you might be dealing with something more than a run-of-the-mill clog that needs the attention of a professional plumber for drain cleaning.
