Question 3

What causes clogged drains?

Accepted Answer

In Markham, we see specific patterns: high-density development issues (especially in Unionville and Thornhill), tree root intrusion in Unionville's heritage neighborhoods, grease accumulation from cooking, and hair buildup. Our Markham drain camera inspection reveals the exact cause—whether it's calcification from York Region water supply, seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, or aging clay pipes common in homes built before 1980.  Common drain clog causes include hair accumulation, grease buildup, mineral deposits, tree root intrusion, and foreign objects. Professional drain camera inspection reveals the exact cause of your drain problem, allowing us to recommend the best drain cleaning or drain repair solution. Clogged drains result from many different causes depending on your drain system and usage patterns. The most common clogged drain causes include: accumulated hair in bathroom drains, grease and soap buildup in kitchen drains, mineral deposits and scale in hard water areas, tree root intrusion into main drain lines, and foreign objects stuck in drain pipes. Sometimes multiple factors combine to create a severe clogged drain. Professional drain camera inspection is the best way to identify the exact cause of your drain problem - our technicians use a waterproof inspection camera to see inside your drain pipes and identify blockages. Once we determine what's causing your clogged drain, we recommend the best drain cleaning or drain repair solution - whether it's drain snaking for mechanical clogs or hydro jetting for buildup.

We provide free estimates for all Markham drain repairs with transparent, upfront pricing before work begins.

Question 7

What's the difference between drain snaking and hydro jetting for drain cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Drain snaking uses a mechanical snake to break up blockages, working well for root intrusions and hair clogs. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water jets (up to 4,000 PSI) to completely clear debris and buildup from drain pipes. Both drain cleaning methods are effective - we recommend drain snaking for targeted clogs and hydro jetting for thorough drain maintenance and prevention.

Question 8

Drain repair costs vary by problem type. Simple drain cleaning: $149-249. Drain snaking: $199-349. Hydro jetting: $249-499. Major drain repair: $500-1500+. We provide upfront pricing for all drain work with no hidden fees. Schedule a free drain camera inspection to get an accurate drain repair quote.

Question 9

Do you offer drain camera inspection services?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our drain camera inspection (CCTV drain inspection) is our diagnostic tool for pinpointing drain problems. We use a waterproof camera on a cable to inspect inside your drain pipes without digging. This drain inspection service helps us provide accurate quotes and identify issues like root intrusions, cracks, or scale buildup in your drainage system.

Question 10

What causes main line drain blockages?

Accepted Answer

Main line drain problems are caused by: tree roots invading drain pipes, grease and soap buildup, accumulated leaves and debris, broken or collapsed drain pipes, or ground settling. We use drain camera inspection and hydro jetting to diagnose and repair main line drain issues without extensive excavation when possible using trenchless technology.

Question 11

How can I prevent future drain clogs and maintain my drains?

Accepted Answer

Prevent drain problems with these drain maintenance tips: avoid pouring grease down drains, use drain screens to catch hair and debris, flush regularly with hot water, never put non-flushable items in toilets, and schedule annual professional drain cleaning service. Regular drain maintenance helps avoid expensive drain repairs and emergency calls.

Question 12

What's the difference between a clogged drain and a backed-up sewer line?

Accepted Answer

A clogged drain affects only one fixture (sink, shower, toilet) and involves debris stuck in that drainage line. A backed-up sewer line (sewage backup) affects multiple fixtures and indicates a problem with the main drain line serving your entire home. Sewage backup is more serious and requires immediate drain service. We handle both drain clogs and sewer line repairs.

Question 13

Can tree roots really damage my drain pipes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, tree roots are a major cause of drain damage. Root intrusion into drain pipes creates blockages and can crack or collapse drain lines completely. If you have large trees near your drainage system, we recommend periodic drain camera inspection to catch root intrusion early. Root removal techniques include drain snaking, hydro jetting, or drain pipe replacement.
