When Should You Call a Plumber for Clogged Drains?

As your drain cleaning experts in Victoria we’re the ones you should call if you notice any of these issues with your drains:

• Slow Drains: If the rate in which your water drains from your sinks, tub, etc., is slow, causing water to build up. Or you’re finding that your drains are completely blocked and water won’t drain at all. In severe cases, water can even begin to bubble back out of your drain causing flooding.
• Leaks: If there’s enough pressure on your pipes from blockages then leaks can form, which in turn can have serious consequences for both you and the health of your home. Leaking water can cause structural damage to your home, as well as the development of mold which is hazardous to your health.
• Strange-Tasting Water and Foul Odors: If you have a blockage then waste can get trapped in your pipes and remain there causing bacteria to form. Bacteria can cause your water to taste bad and is potentially unhealthy for consumption. Bacteria can also release foul odors that will begin to permeate from your sinks and toilets.
• RECURRING CLOGS: If you tried to remove a blockage of hair and other substances from your drain, only to have it get clogged again, it can mean you’re not completely removing the blockages and need a professional to clear the clog.
• SEVERAL DRAINS ARE CLOGGED: If several drains are clogged at the same time it can indicate a larger problem than slow drains. This can signal a severe blockage in your mainline that a plumber needs to inspect.
• FLOODING: Flooding in your basement or near a floor drain can indicate a severe problem with your drainage system - a sewage backup. You need to have a plumber examine the problem before you have contaminated water on the floor.

Get Your Drains Cleaned in Victoria, BC

The importance of drain cleaning can’t be stressed enough and should be something you do on the regular – about every two years, just to be safe. The biggest threat to your home that clogged pipes can cause is the growth of mold and bacteria that can contaminate your water and cause you and your family health issues.

Beyond that, there are costs to consider as the longer you leave clogs in your drains the more likely you’ll have expensive issues down the road – especially during the winter months. Clogged drains can lead to burst pipes in colder temperatures and consequently lead to flooding in your home that can cause major damage to your home’s infrastructure as well as any items in your home that get caught in the flooding.

Drain Cleaning FAQs

Do We Clear Main Sewer Drain Lines Through Roof Vents?

We do NOT go through roof vents. This is a very effective way to cause roof leaks but an ineffective way of clearing stopped drains. Drain vents use non-directional fittings which are different than actual drain lines. Very often this results in trapped cables. It is unnecessarily dangerous and we don't want anybody getting harmed.

Why Do I Need a Clean Out?

Easier to locate the sewer line. Makes clogs accessible to proper-size blades and cables. Enables access by Hydro Jet if needed. Closer to stoppage with fewer turns, giving cable added strength for better clearing.

Can You Clear My Main Sewer Drain Through My Toilet?

Yes, but ideally we avoid it if possible to prevent messy drain cables and machines inside your home. As well sometimes this method may not work if the piping arrangement has too many turns before the blockage making the cable strength ineffective.

What's an IMPROPER Sink Drain Clean Out?

Answer: A trap plug or trap union is for cleaning the trap, NOT the drain line behind it.
