  • At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Scarborough ON, we offer effective drain services to clear your drain and sewer pipes of clogs. In regard to drain snaking, this maintenance service is sought on an as-needed basis by those who experience standing water in their drainage line or any of the other symptoms of a blockage. See below for a breakdown of our advanced method.

  • Our drain specialists can't possibly know what we're dealing with unless we thoroughly inspect your kitchen, laundry room, outdoor, and bathroom drains. Of course, this isn't possible by using just our eyes—we need the help of our advanced equipment. To get a good look inside of your drain lines all the way down to your sewer, we use a special video camera that gives us a 360-degree view of the condition of your pipes' interior. Sliding it down your drains and taking a look around will show us what the clog consists of, how severe it is, and where it's located.

    Clogs come in all shapes, sizes, and forms, and not all of them can be resolved by using a snake, i.e., tree roots, which can cause water leaks and require drain repair services. If, during the inspection, we find that your clog can be cleared by our snake, we'll proceed with the next step.

  • Professional drain snaking involves the use of a powerful drain auger with more than enough length to reach your clog. Our service technicians will feed it down your kitchen sink or toilet drain line until we reach the clog, and the bristled head on the end, combined with the corkscrew motion of the auger, will break apart soft masses, food particles, and build up. After we've successfully broken apart the clog, we'll flush your drain lines to ensure the flow of water runs smoothly.

    Optional: Drain Cleaning (Hydro-Jetting)

    Drain snaking in Scarborough is an excellent way to rid your drains of blockages, but if you're interested in giving your pipes the polishing of their life, we highly recommend following your service with regular drain cleaning. Our HydroScrub® Jetting service uses high water pressure to blast dirt and debris off the sides of your drain and sewer line. It's also an effective alternative to using an electric drain snake and quickly clears drain blockages. However, this powerful cleaning method isn't ideal for all situations. Talk to your residential plumbing professional to find out what's right for your unique drain line.

FAQs - Drain Snaking in Scarborough

  • You may already know you need drain snaking in Scarborough, but you may only have an inkling. We want you to get the efficient service you need, and that comes from acting quickly when your drains are calling out for help. If you don't, you may end up paying the price in the form of burst pipes, basement backups, leaks, and more problematic plumbing situations. A few signs that you should get in touch with a professional plumber right away from drain snaking include:

    • Clogged drains. This is, perhaps, the most obvious sign that you need drain snaking. A clog means that the water in your kitchen or bathroom sink or bathtub isn't draining or that your toilet overflows when you flush it. Maybe the water clears, maybe it doesn't. In any case, your drain line is obstructed and needs help to prevent potential water damage to your home.
    • Slow drains. Similar to a drain clog, a slow drain is when your sinks, tubs, or toilets do allow some water to pass through, but not at the speed you're used to seeing. A slow drain is a sign that you have a partial clog. If left untreated, it could turn into a full blockage.
    • Bad Odours. We're not talking about the normal ones that come from your bathroom, but foul smells that waft up from inside your sinks or showers. Considering an unclean drain line is a breeding ground for bacteria, it often smells like rotten eggs due to all of the rotting hair, debris, and food.
    • Sewage Backups. If there is any kind of debris backing up into your sink or shower, you need to get the drain snaking right away. This is a sign that your clog is so bad that it's sending raw sewage back up your drain line and may cause basement flooding--and possibly structural damage if you let it get that far.
