Clogged drains are more than a nuisance — they’re often the first warning sign of a larger plumbing problem developing inside your pipes. Whether it’s a slow kitchen sink, a backed-up shower, or a toilet that won’t flush properly, clogs can quickly turn into overflows, water damage, and even sewer backups if not addressed professionally. For homeowners in London, Ontario, fast and thorough clog repair is essential to keeping plumbing systems flowing safely.
At John The Plumber London, we specialize in diagnosing and clearing clogs at the source — not just pushing the blockage further down the line. Using professional equipment and proven techniques, our licensed plumbers remove buildup, debris, grease, roots, and foreign objects that cause recurring drainage issues.
Most clogs form gradually over time. Kitchen sinks collect grease, soap, and food debris. Bathroom drains trap hair, toothpaste, and soap scum. Toilets can become blocked by excessive paper use or non-flushable items. In older homes, tree roots may even invade underground pipes, creating serious blockages that simple plunging cannot fix.
If you’re noticing multiple slow drains throughout the house, it could indicate a deeper issue in your sewer line. In these cases, professional drain cleaning may be required: https://johntheplumber.ca/london/drain-cleaning/
Water draining slowly from sinks or tubs
Gurgling sounds in drains or toilets
Frequent toilet backups
Bad smells coming from drains
Water backing up in lower fixtures when others are used
These symptoms often appear before a full sewer backup occurs. If you’ve already experienced wastewater coming back into your home, immediate service is critical:

Store-bought drain cleaners and plungers often provide only temporary relief and can damage your pipes over time.
Our team uses professional drain snakes, augers, and hydro-cleaning methods to completely remove blockages without harming your plumbing system.
