Drain & Sewer Services in Toronto

• Frequent need to plunge the toilet
• Slow-draining sinks, tubs, or showers
• Backup in the sink when the dishwasher is running
• Sink that’s impossible to drain
• Unpleasant odours coming from drains
• Gurgling sounds in your pipes or drains
• Water is pooling around the floor drains
• Multiple drains in your home are running slowly at the same time
• Toilet water rising or bubbling when using sinks or showers
• Overflow from toilets or drains after using large amounts of water

If several of these problems are happening at once, the issue may be deeper in the drainage system or main sewer line.

Drain and sewer blockages can develop for many reasons, including everyday buildup, objects entering the drain, and problems within the pipe itself. Common causes include:

• Grease
• Paper towels
• Tree roots
• Corrosion
• Hair buildup
• Soap scum
• Food scraps
• Foreign objects
• Mineral deposits
• Small objects accidentally dropped down the drain

Some blockages build up gradually, while others can develop suddenly. If clogs keep returning or several drains are affected at once, a professional inspection can help identify what is causing the problem.

Multiple slow or backed-up drains, gurgling toilets, sewage odours, or water coming up through a basement floor drain can point to an issue in the main drain or sewer line.

A sewer camera inspection provides a comprehensive view, allowing for the detection of a wide variety of issues that may not be apparent from the outside.

• Pipe Cracks and Fractures
• Root Intrusions
• Corrosion and Wear
• Misaligned Pipe Joints
• Blockages caused by grease buildup
• Collapsed or broken sections of pipe
• Bellied or sagging pipes (where a section of pipe sinks, creating a low spot that collects waste)
• Leaking joints or faulty pipe connections
• Evidence of pests or small animals inside the pipes
• Obstructions from foreign objects or debris

A recurring clog may mean that only part of the blockage has been cleared or that there is a deeper issue in the line. Buildup, tree roots, pipe damage, or other obstructions can cause the same drain to clog repeatedly.

Yes. Tree roots can enter sewer lines through cracks, joints, or damaged sections of pipe. As the roots grow, they can restrict wastewater flow and contribute to recurring blockages or backups.

When several drains are affected at the same time, avoid using additional water and arrange for professional service. Multiple backups can indicate a blockage farther down the drainage system or in the main sewer line.
