    If the drain is slow, it doesn’t last long. Initially, if the water starts to pool around your ankles in the shower or if your toilet backs up, it can be quickly and easily a few hundred bucks to get the toilet fixed to thousands to deal with water damage that could have been prevented. When it comes to getting water flowing again without breaking open walls or digging up your yard, our drain snaking service is the quick, dependable and cost effective solution for waterers and business owners in the Greater Toronto Area.

    From the stubborn kitchen sink to the backed-up toilet to the commercial sewer line that is just up against the limit, our licensed technicians show up with the plumbing snake that’s just right and the know-how to use it correctly the first time.

    What Is Drain Snaking and How Does It Work?

    Drain snaking or drain plumbing snake service is an effective method designed with a flexible steel cable drain auger that’s inserted directly into the drain until it reaches the clog. When the cable contacts the blockage, our plumbers either attach the cable to the blockage and retrieve it or rotate it apart to allow full flow in the line again. A drain pipe auger physically clears hair, grease, food, mineral deposits and other debris from clogs without harming pipes, unlike chemical cleaners which eat away at old pipes, dissolving only part of the clog.

    This is the most cost-effective, safe and convenient treatment for most household clogs, and generally requires no disconnection of fixtures or excavation.

    Signs You Need Professional Drain Snaking

    Whether you are looking for “drain snaking near me” or a “snake drain cleaner,” it’s likely you’re seeing one or more of these signs that something is wrong: 

    • Water draining slowly from sinks, tubs, or showers
    • Gurgling sounds coming from drains or the toilet
    • Recurring clogs that keep coming back after DIY attempts
    • Bad odors rising from a sink, floor drain, or shower
    • A toilet that won’t clear on the first (or second) flush
    • Multiple drains backing up at once often a sign the main sewer line needs a sewer auger

    When not addressed, these symptoms can result in overflow, water damage and much more costly repairs in the future. Professional snaking to clear a clog is usually less expensive than waiting, since it catches a clog early.

    Toilet Snake & Toilet Auger Services

    If the toilet does not respond to the plunger, it will probably require a toilet auger and is not a problem that can be solved by continuing to push down on the plunger. Toilet snakes are specially designed to fit into the curves of a toilet trap; our plumbers will not harm the toilet’s porcelain or bowl with the standard toilet snake. Use this when you have flushed something into the toilet, too much toilet paper or mineral deposits at the bottom of the toilet are too deep for a plunger to reach.

    Sink, Shower & Pipe Snake Solutions

    Bathroom and kitchen drains are the most likely places to get a hair clog, soap scum and grease, the most common reasons for a slow shower drain snake job or the most stubborn sink snake call. We use the very same cables to clear, sized to the exact specifications: 

    • Kitchen and bathroom sink drains
    • Shower and tub drains
    • Laundry and utility drains
    • Floor drains in basements and garages

    We choose the correct pipe snake diameter and head, for older or fine pipe, it is cleared without damaging the inside of the pipe or cracking the joints.

    Electric Plumbing Snake for Tougher Clogs

    A hand auger isn’t powerful enough to clear some blockages, tree roots, compacted debris or clogs in deep, main lines. In such situations, we use an electric plumbing snake that’s similar to a motorized plumbing auger that can reach much further into the pipe and penetrate dense obstructions. It is the same equipment that we use to perform sewer auger work in a sewer main where reach and cutting power is most important.
