The Problem
Common issues homeowners face with this service.
Clogs keep returning
DIY methods and chemical cleaners don't address root causes like tree roots, pipe damage, or deep buildup.
Multiple drains backing up
When several fixtures clog at once, the problem is in your main line and requires professional equipment.
Sewage backing into your home
Main line blockages can cause wastewater to come up through drains, creating health hazards and property damage.
Chemical cleaners damage pipes
Store-bought drain cleaners corrode pipes over time, especially older metal pipes, causing more problems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about clogged drains.
Why shouldn't I use chemical drain cleaners?
Chemical drain cleaners can corrode pipes (especially older metal pipes), often don't fully clear clogs, are hazardous to handle, and harm the environment. They can also react dangerously with other chemicals in your system. Professional mechanical clearing is safer, more effective, and better for your plumbing.
What causes most drain clogs?
The culprits vary by location. Kitchen sinks clog from grease, food, and soap. Bathroom drains clog from hair and soap scum. Toilets clog from too much paper or foreign objects. Main lines can be blocked by tree roots, buildup, or pipe damage. We diagnose the specific cause and address it.
How can I prevent drain clogs?
Use drain screens to catch hair and debris, never pour grease down drains (let it solidify and throw it away), run hot water after using the sink, don't flush anything except toilet paper, and schedule professional cleaning every 1-2 years for prevention.
When is a clog an emergency?
Call 403-477-0933 immediately if you have sewage backing up into your home, multiple drains backing up at once, toilet overflow that won't stop, or sewage odours. These indicate a main line blockage requiring urgent attention to prevent health hazards and property damage.
Why do my drains keep clogging?
Recurring clogs usually indicate an underlying problem—tree root intrusion, damaged pipes, improper drain slope, or a persistent buildup deeper in the line. We use camera inspection to find why clogs keep returning and fix the root cause, not just the symptom.
