FAQs about drain cleaning in Toronto
Are chemical drain cleaners a good idea before I call?
Generally no, they can damage older pipes and often don't clear the actual blockage. Skip them and call for a proper diagnosis.
Do you use a camera to inspect drains?
When a blockage keeps returning or a main line is suspected, a camera inspection helps us see the actual cause before quoting work.
Why do multiple drains back up at once?
That usually points to a main drain or sewer line issue rather than a single fixture, a camera inspection is often the right next step.
Can you clear kitchen grease clogs?
Yes. Kitchen lines that clog with grease and food debris are common, augering or hydro-mechanical cleaning generally clears them.
