PREVENTATIVE MEASURES

We can also advise on preventive actions you can take to stop such blockages or clogs from occurring again. For example:

• Shower, bath and washroom drain cleaning & repair
  A simple hair trap in your bath tub or shower is a very useful method to stop hairs getting stuck in the u-bend or trap and causing your bath water to drain slowly or not at all removing your drain issues. 
• Kitchen drain repairs
  Similarly, it is wisest to wipe out frying pans and other fatty utensils before washing up so that grease cannot accumulate and block you kitchen sink. Likewise, if you scrape all food particles into the garbage before washing up your kitchen sink will remain block-free for longer.
• Residential Waste Water & Toilets
  Toilets usually only get blocked if you try to flush inappropriate items through the s-bend. It is best to dispose of anything other than toilet tissue by wrapping it and placing it in a garbage bin, rather than trying to flush it away – particularly disposable diapers and other similar hard-to-dissolve materials.
• Sewer line and Regular drain cleaning & repair
  Problems with outdoor drains and blocked sewers can take longer to resolve and may require use of our specialized equipment. Often the culprit is roots from long-established trees or bushes that break into sewers and drainage systems causing waste waters to escape and flood the surrounding soil, often accompanied by unpleasant smells.
• Storm and Regular drain cleaning & repair
  We use high pressure water jetting to clear heavily clogged areas as well as to locate possible troubled areas. We use video camera inspections to view problems that may be located either deep or close to your drain pipes or draining systems in order to get a clear idea of the exact problem and how to fix it.

DRAINS & SEWERS: MAINTENANCE TIPS

Drains: Keeping a drain clear isn’t something most people give much thought to until it begins to act up with a major clog, start to back up, or dysfunction. Grease, excess hair, drying lint, food scraps and detergents from the ordinary Ontario family can become too much for most standard residential plumbing and drainage systems to handle. They can accumulate over time and cause major issues, such as clogged sinks and tubs or any types of drains. In addition, rusted drain pipes, leaks, and flooding are all possible outcomes of consistently clogged drains.

Water damage can be serious if a little leak remains unchecked for a lengthy period of time. It’s easy for mould, mildew, and rot to hide under cabinets and in the cracks between the walls of your house, which can lead to health problems, structural damage, and expensive repairs. Drainage systems for commercial buildings are more robustly constructed than those for residential properties, but repairs can be needed there too. Restaurant owners are well aware of the dangers of clogging drains with oil and food waste from a busy kitchen, which may lead to unchecked back-ups, sanitation issues or all kinds of blockages in drains.





Sewers: Your sewer system is an integral part of your home or business drainage network. Blocked sewers can be caused by a variety of factors, including too much toilet paper, years of neglect, cracked tiles, and even tree roots. These scenarios are often more time consuming and frustrating than the average clogged drain. That’s because if your sewers go down, your entire drainage system is at jeopardy. In commercial buildings, where a backed-up sewage might result in lost revenue, this can be very expensive to fix so Regular sewer cleaning to avoid a sewer repair is must.
