What Is Drain Snaking?

Drain snaking uses a flexible metal cable (or auger) to break apart clogs and clear blockages inside your drainpipes. It’s one of the most effective and safest methods to remove:

Hair, grease, and soap scum buildup
Food waste and organic debris
Tree roots infiltrating older sewer lines
Flushed items and foreign objects

The process works by feeding the cable into the pipe and manually or mechanically rotating it to dislodge the blockage. Once the obstruction is removed, normal water flow is restored, and the risk of backups or flooding is minimized.

Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning

Not all clogs start with a major backup—many show early warning signs. If you’re seeing any of the following, it’s time to book a professional drain cleaning service:

Slow draining sinks or tubs: May indicate buildup or narrowing in the drain.
Recurring clogs: If you’re snaking the same drain every month, it’s time to call a pro.
Multiple backed-up fixtures: Suggests a blockage in your main sewer line.
Sewage odours: Could be a venting issue or a clog causing wastewater to stagnate.
Water pooling around basement drains: A clear indicator of poor drainage or backups.

These issues won’t go away on their own. Our licensed technicians can diagnose the problem and clear it efficiently before it causes serious damage.

Common Causes of Drain Clogs

Understanding what causes blockages can help prevent them in the future. Our team often finds the following culprits:

Grease and fat: Hardens inside pipes, especially in kitchen drains
Hair and soap scum: Builds up in showers and bathroom sinks
Tree roots: Enter older clay or damaged pipes through cracks
Foreign objects: Toys, feminine hygiene products, and wipes that don’t break down
Improper sloping: Can cause debris to settle instead of flow

We’ll provide tips and recommendations to reduce the likelihood of these issues returning.

FAQ

How long does drain snaking take?

Most jobs take under an hour. Heavier blockages or homes with older plumbing may require more time.

Is drain snaking safe for old pipes?

Yes. We use flexible augers appropriate for the material and size of your drainpipes. If your pipes are brittle or fragile, we’ll inspect before starting.

What’s the difference between drain snaking and chemical cleaners?

Snaking physically removes the blockage. Chemical cleaners can damage pipes, especially older ones, and are often only a temporary fix.

What if snaking doesn’t work?

If snaking doesn’t resolve the issue, we may recommend a camera inspection to investigate further or use hydro jetting for stubborn buildup.

Do you service condos and apartment buildings?

Yes, we work with property managers across the GTA to service shared stacks and main lines.

Can I get a quote over the phone?

Yes, we offer preliminary pricing by phone. For complex issues, we may need to visit the site to provide an accurate quote.
