Blocked kitchen sink? Slow shower? Water coming up through the basement floor drain?
John The Plumber & Drain Cleaning helps Hamilton homeowners clear clogged drains and get to the cause of recurring backups.
Our licensed plumbers handle sink, toilet and floor drain blockages, sewer line cleaning and drain camera inspections. We assess the problem, explain the recommended work and pricing, and use the equipment suited to your drain.
Sinks • Toilets • Floor Drains • Sewer Lines
If sewage is backing up, several fixtures have stopped draining or your only toilet is blocked, call and tell us what is happening.
Let us know whether water is actively rising and which fixtures are affected so we can assess the urgency and confirm availability.
Stop using the affected plumbing and avoid flushing toilets or running appliances that discharge into the blocked line.
Different drain problems can produce very different symptoms. From a slow kitchen sink to water coming up through a basement floor drain, our plumbers investigate the affected plumbing, clear accessible blockages and check drainage afterward.
01
Grease, food debris and soap residue can restrict a drain until water barely moves. We investigate where the blockage is and clear the affected line.
If your sink keeps clogging, we can discuss whether further inspection is needed.
02
Soap residue, debris and buildup can restrict laundry sink drainage and cause water to drain slowly or stop flowing.
03
A toilet blockage may be inside the fixture or farther along the drain. We assess the symptoms and choose an appropriate clearing method.
Tell us if a nearby shower or floor drain also backs up when the toilet is flushed.
04
Water coming up through a basement drain can point to a restriction farther down the system. We assess the affected fixtures and accessible drainage to determine the next step.
05
When several fixtures are affected, the restriction may be farther down the drainage system. Where a blockage can be cleared, we restore flow and explain any signs that the line needs further investigation.
06
Outdoor drains can collect dirt, leaves and other debris. We can assess accessible drainage and determine an appropriate cleaning method for the blockage.
Hair and soap buildup can leave water sitting in a sink, bathtub or shower. We clear accessible blockages and check drainage afterward. When several bathroom fixtures are affected, we investigate the shared drain as well.
Not every clogged drain needs the same equipment. We assess the location of the blockage, available access and the condition of the drainage system before recommending an appropriate cleaning or inspection method.
Mechanical drain cleaning uses a cable and suitable attachment to work through a blockage. It can be an appropriate option for many fixture drains and sewer lines.
The equipment we use depends on pipe size, access and the suspected cause of the clog.
When a drain keeps blocking or the cause is unclear, a camera inspection can help us assess the accessible interior of the pipe. It may reveal roots, buildup or visible damage.
A blocked line may need to be cleared first so the camera can provide a useful view.
Hydro jetting uses pressurized water to remove buildup from suitable drain and sewer pipes. We assess the line and access before recommending it.
The right cleaning method depends on the condition of the pipe and what is causing the restriction.
Tell us what you're seeing and we'll assess the drainage issue before recommending the next step.
A drain that blocks again soon after clearing may have an underlying problem. Roots entering a joint, a damaged section or a low spot that collects debris can require more than another cleaning. We explain what we find and discuss repair options when the evidence supports them.
When the same drain repeatedly slows or blocks, there may be more going on than an isolated clog.
The next step may involve looking for conditions that could contribute to the recurring blockage.
If the evidence points to a problem with the drain itself, we can explain the findings and available repair options.

Several slow drains, gurgling fixtures or water coming up through a basement drain can indicate a problem in a shared drain or sewer line. These symptoms need an assessment to identify the cause. A single slow sink may have a more localized blockage.
Not every clog requires a camera inspection. It may be useful for repeat blockages, suspected roots or signs of pipe damage. We explain whether an inspection is likely to help and whether clearing is needed first.
Appropriate equipment may remove roots obstructing a line, but cleaning does not seal the opening where they entered. If roots or pipe damage are found, we can discuss the condition of the line and possible next steps.
