Don’t wait for a plumbing emergency when you can prevent it!

Periodically having a drain cleaning is a great way to protect yourself from big problems.

Over time, grease and other matter collect in the pipes. You might notice gurgling noises and slower drains. These partial blockages gradually build into a coagulated nightmare!

If it gets too bad, sections of drain pipes may require replacement.

Instead, have a plumber come and clean your drains and sewers! We have the equipment to blast buildups and leave your pipes squeaky clean!

When you need Ottawa drain cleaners, John The Plumber is ready to help. We offer routine maintenance drain cleaning, as well as emergency clogged drain cleaning services.

We’re available when you need us!

If you’ve got a slow drain in your kitchen sink, bathroom sink, shower drain, bathtub drain, or laundry tub, or it’s completely blocked, using an electrically-powered commercial plumbing snake, our plumbers can break through the matter forming the blockage or pull the clog back out.

If you’re experiencing toilet drain clogs, call John The Plumber and one of our experts can use a Toilet Auger (aka toilet snake) to break the toilet clog or pull the contents out.

Remember that your toilet is only designed to handle human organic waste and toilet paper. Feminine hygiene products, ‘flushable’ wipes, and garbage are best placed in the trash!

Tree roots are on a mission to find a bountiful source of nutrition, and oftentimes, that nutrition is your waste. While some trees are less of an issue than others, many trees, such as Maple or Oak trees, can wreak devastating damage to your sewer pipes. Once tree roots find their way into your sewer, it will only get worse.

From there, you will experience sewer clogs and drain clogs more regularly, and you might find yourself calling for professional service often.

While you may want to consider a sewer line excavation and replacement, a cheaper and less invasive solution is to have a plumber clear the sewer line of tree roots using tools like Chain Knockers or Hydro Jets. (We have both!)

If your drain blockage is caused by the freezing cold, don’t worry! We’ve got a machine for that! We can heat up your frozen drain pipes, and restore flow to your plumbing system to clear your blockage.

Emergency Plumbing

If sewage is backing up in your basement or your plumbing isn’t draining, you may need sewer repair or snaking services. Our sewer cleaning specialists are equipped with the latest technology to clean out your sewer line effectively and prevent any issues from reoccurring.

However, if your sewer is collapsed or experiencing another sewer issue, we are your local residential sewer specialists. Our licensed plumbers can guide you through every step of the way and help make your sewer repair experience as easy as possible.

A Drain Backup is when waster and waste rise up from a drain. Somewhere down the drain line, a pipe has clogged. When this happens, the wastewater from every drain up the line will rise up from the lowest drain before the blockage.

When you’ve got a backed-up drain, stop using the fixtures and drains in your home that are connected to the same pipe, as this water will continue to rise from the backed-up drain.

Your basement floor drain is a bigger pipe than many other pipes in the house. As such. a blocked floor drain requires more heavy-duty drain equipment than what may be used for a sink drain. If you notice strange smells or a backed-up floor drain, we have the equipment you need to get the job done properly.

A sewer backup occurs when either your sewer overflows and ejects sewage into your home, or your sewer lateral is blocked so the waste from your home gets stuck and backs up. If your sewer line is blocked, we can choose from a variety of tools and services to remedy the problem, and if the sewer has overflowed and backed. up into your home, we can install a Backwater Valve to protect you in the future.

A backwater valve is a valve that closes and prevents sewage from entering your home through your sewer line. It essentially converts your drain system into a one-way street, so you never have to worry about your neighbour’s waste flooding your basement.

A Hydro Jet is a drain cleaning machine that blasts pressurized water into your drains, tearing through grease clogs, sediment buildup, and any other drain obstruction that blocks its path.

For smaller drain pipes, our drain team is equipped with a portable Hydro Jet Drain Cleaner, but for stubborn clogs in your stack, floor drain, or sewer lateral, we have a powerful gas-powered Hydro Jetter that can tear through anything, even tree roots!

Your residential drain system and sewer system rely on gravity to move liquid and solids through your pipes and out of your home. However, if gravity isn’t going to do the trick, for example, a basement bathroom is lower than the sewer, then a sewage pump is needed.

Sewage pumps can move water and solids up and out of your home. Additionally, a grinder pump can grind the matter before pumping, to ensure a smooth out of your sewer line.
