Clogged sink or toilet? Hair buildup in the shower? Water Pro specializes in fast, effective drain snaking that clears blockages in minutes.
Since 2000, we've served thousands of GTA homeowners with professional-grade mechanical auger equipment and proven expertise.
What is Drain Snaking?
Drain snaking is a fast, mechanical method for clearing clogged drains using a flexible cable with a cutting head. Also known as augering, this professional technique breaks apart blockages caused by hair, food debris, soap buildup, and objects stuck in pipes. Water Pro uses heavy-duty snakes and motorized equipment to clear everything from kitchen sink clogs to main line blockages, with same-day service available 24/7.

10 Questions About Drain Snaking
How long does drain snaking take? ▼
Most simple drain snaking jobs take 20-60 minutes. Kitchen sink clogs typically clear in 30 minutes, while main line snaking may take 1-2 hours depending on blockage location and severity. Average response time is 45 minutes, and we often have your drain flowing freely before noon on the day you call.
Is drain snaking safe for older pipes? ▼
Yes, when performed by experienced professionals. We carefully control cable speed and pressure to avoid damaging pipes. For very old clay or cast iron pipes, we may recommend camera inspection first to assess condition, or suggest gentler hydro jetting methods. Our technicians know how to snake safely on all pipe types.
What types of clogs can snaking clear? ▼
Drain snaking works best for hair clogs, soap buildup, food debris, and objects stuck in pipes. It's highly effective on single blockages in kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, and toilets. However, hardened grease, mineral deposits, and tree roots may require hydro jetting or specialized equipment. We assess your situation and recommend the best method.
How much does drain snaking cost? ▼
Basic drain snaking starts at $149-$299 depending on clog severity, pipe location, and accessibility. Most residential jobs fall in the $200-$350 range. Main line snaking typically costs $299-$499. All prices include the technician's time, equipment, and our 90-day satisfaction guarantee. We provide accurate phone quotes before arriving.
Is there a warranty on drain snaking? ▼
Absolutely! We back all drain snaking service with a 90-day satisfaction guarantee. If the same drain clogs again within 90 days, we return to service it at no additional cost. Our warranty covers our workmanship and ensures you get lasting results. Very few customers need return service because our snaking is so effective.
What's the difference between snaking and hydro jetting? ▼
Drain snaking uses mechanical force to break apart blockages. It's fast and effective for single clogs but doesn't clean pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses 4000 PSI water to completely scour pipes, removing all buildup. Snaking is cheaper and faster; hydro jetting is more thorough for recurring problems or severe buildup. Call us and we'll recommend the best method for your situation.
Can you snake main sewer lines? ▼
Yes! Professional main line snaking is one of our specialties. When multiple drains back up simultaneously, the blockage is in the main sewer line. We use heavy-duty motorized augers designed for large pipes. Main line snaking costs more than sink snaking ($299-$499) but solves whole-house drainage problems.
What if snaking doesn't work? ▼
If snaking doesn't clear your drain, we have other solutions available. Camera inspection identifies the exact problem—sometimes pipes are damaged or have structural issues requiring repair instead of cleaning. We can recommend hydro jetting, trenchless pipe repair, or traditional excavation if necessary. You'll understand all options before proceeding.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency drain snaking? ▼
Yes! Water Pro provides 24/7 emergency drain snaking service throughout Toronto and the GTA. Call (647) 554-4356 anytime—day, night, weekends, holidays. Average response time is 45 minutes. Emergency service costs the same as regular service with no surcharges or hidden fees.
How can I prevent drain clogs in the future? ▼
Install drain screens in all sinks, tubs, and showers to catch hair and debris. Never pour grease down drains—collect in containers and throw away. Run hot water for 30 seconds after each use. Flush infrequently used drains weekly. Avoid disposal of food scraps, coffee grounds, and fibrous vegetables in garbage disposals. Schedule annual maintenance if you have recurring issues.
Snaking vs Hydro Jetting: Which Method is Right?
Understanding these two primary drain cleaning methods helps you choose the best solution for your specific situation. Both are professional services with proven results.
Drain Snaking (Auger)
Uses a flexible metal cable with a cutting head to mechanically break apart blockages. The technician feeds the snake into the drain and rotates it to penetrate, cut through, or retrieve the clog. Simple, fast, and cost-effective for most residential blockages.

- Affordable ($149-$299)

- Safe for all pipes
Hydro Jetting
Uses high-pressure water (up to 4000 PSI) to scour pipe walls completely clean, removing all buildup, grease, mineral deposits, and debris. The pressurized water stream cuts through blockages and flushes everything downstream. Most thorough cleaning method available.

- Recurring drain problems

- Tree root damage
- Mineral deposits

Snaking vs Hydro Jetting: Quick Comparison
| Factor | Snaking | Hydro Jetting |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 30-60 min | 1-3 hours |
| Cost | $149-$299 | $399-$699 |
| Cleaning Depth | Breaks clog | Cleans walls |
| Duration of Results | Months | 2-3 years |
| Best For | Single clogs | Recurring issues |
| Chemicals | None | None |
The best choice depends on your situation. If you have a single acute clog, snaking is fast and affordable. If you have recurring problems or want preventative maintenance, hydro jetting provides superior long-term value. Call our specialists at (647) 554-4356 to discuss your specific needs.
