Drain Cleaning in Ajax

A slow drain is annoying. A fully clogged one can stop your whole day. Grease, hair, soap, food, and tree roots build up over time until water has nowhere to go. We clear the blockage at the source so your drains run like they should again.

We handle kitchen drains, bathroom sinks, tubs, and main sewer lines. For tough or repeat clogs we use hydro-jetting to scour the pipe walls clean, not just punch a hole through the mess. We leave your home as clean as we found it.

Drain Cleaning in Ajax & Durham Region

What clogs a drain depends on which drain it is. Kitchen lines in Durham clog from grease and food that cools and hardens on the pipe wall, then grabs everything after it. Bathroom sinks and tubs are almost always hair and soap scum. Toilets back up from too much paper or a flushed wipe that never breaks down, even the ones labeled flushable. Main sewer lines are a different beast. Around Downtown Oshawa and older Whitby, tree roots creep into cracked clay joints looking for water, and hard water scale narrows old pipes over time. The fix has to match the cause.

A real drain cleaning is more than pushing a clog down the line. Snaking cuts through the blockage and pulls it back so we can see what came out. That tells us a lot. Grease, roots, or a chunk of scale each point to a different next step. For stubborn or greasy main lines, hydro-jetting scours the full pipe wall back to bare metal or clay, not just the center hole a snake pokes through. Snaking starts from $99, and most drain jobs land between $250 and $350 depending on the line and access. We clean up before we leave.

Timing matters more than people think. A drain that gurgles, drains slow, or backs up in more than one fixture at once is warning you the main line is involved, not just a local clog. That is the point to call a pro before it becomes sewage on your floor. A single slow bathroom sink you can live with for a day. But repeat clogs in the same spot mean something structural, like a sag or root intrusion, that a store-bought chemical will never fix. Those chemicals also eat at old cast-iron pipe common in Durham century homes. Skip them and call us instead.
