Bathroom vanity sinks frequently become obstructed due to the accumulation of hair, soap, and toothpaste, resulting in drain clogs. The drains of bathtubs or showers are prone to blockages caused by trapped hair, which ensnares residues from shampoo and soap. Kitchen sink drain passages can become impeded due to the buildup of food particles and grease. Even with the advanced flushing mechanisms in modern toilets, instances of toilet drain clogs can still occur, especially in households with young children who tend to be liberal with toilet paper or have a penchant for “misplacing” toys and small objects. Bathroom vanity sinks tend to get filled with hair, soap, and toothpaste, causing clogs. Tub or shower drains are known for getting clogged with hair, which traps shampoo and soap residue. The kitchen sink drain flow gets obstructed by the accumulation of food particles and grease. Toilets these days have superior flushing technology; however, it is still possible for a toilet to clog, especially if you have little ones around that are overly generous with toilet paper or prone to “misplacing” toys and other small objects!

If pipes pose a plumbing issue, our expertise covers their clearing or replacement.

Beyond the substances that find their way into drains, the nature of drain pipes within your household can contribute to the problem. In residences with a historical context like those in Scotia & Glenville, the presence of galvanized drain plumbing often leads to sluggish drainage and complete blockages. The root causes are twofold: the aging of galvanized steel drain pipes and the gradual reduction in the diameter of the inner drain aperture over recent decades.

Galvanized steel piping features fittings with sharp angles, creating significant obstacles for waste to navigate through. This intricate design can result in notable hindrances to the flow. Conversely, contemporary constructions in areas such as Clifton Park and Malta opt for PVC piping, a material choice that mitigates the gradual constriction of the pipe over time.

For your drain cleaning needs and any matters concerning drain plumbing and drain pipes, our solutions encompass a wide spectrum, ranging from remediation to replacement. Trust us to adeptly handle these challenges and ensure the uninterrupted functionality of your plumbing system.
