Drain Services in Oakville

Drain Cleaning Oakville

Our drain service team is equipped with augers and snakes, hydro jetters, rooting machines, and everything else required to clear your clogged drain and speed up drainage.

Routinely maintaining your drains is a great way to avoid needing an emergency plumber in Oakville and avoid an expensive plumbing repair.

If you’ve noticed slow drains or strange sounds coming from your drain pipes, give us a call!

Our drain technicians can clear your drain and return it to a similar condition as when it was first installed.

Clogged Toilet

A clogged toilet is often the result of a blockage in the toilet, but it can also be a drainage pipe issue. Our plumbers come equipped with a unique toilet auger that can extend beyond the bends of your toilet and into your toilet drain.

Using this auger, we can often clear a toilet clog reasonably quickly and easily. However, if you’re dealing with a more severe toilet blockage, we may need to remove the toilet and dig a little deeper to clear the drainage issue.

Whatever the case, we come equipped and willing to handle the most stubborn clogs.

If you’re dealing with a blocked or overflowing toilet, we hope you’ll call John The Plumber for clogged toilet repair in Oakville!

Sewer Backups

When sewage rises up from the floor drain or another drain in the lower part of your home, you’re going to need our sewer backup services.

What often happens is your sewer line is blocked. This can be caused by many factors including tree roots, particle buildup, collapsed pipes, or other pipe damage.

We can often clear a blockage using our rooting service machines and restore drain flow to your plumbing system.

However, sometimes it may be best to consider a sewer and drain line repair.

Either way, we’ll do what we can to make the process as easy as possible and restore your drainage system to proper function.

Grease Clog Removal

Pouring grease down the drain is never a good idea. The result is often a severely clogged kitchen drain line. Oftentimes, using standard drain cleaning equipment will not clear your grease blockage due to the nature of grease. You may drill a hole through it, but the matter will remain in the drain.

However, John The Plumber vans come equipped with countertop jetters. These mini hydro jet machines are designed to clear smaller drain pipes, such as those under your sink. Other hydro jets are far too powerful, as they are designed for 4″ or greater pipes.

Our miniature machines can crawl through your drain system and wash away years of grease deposits as if they were never there, and return your kitchen drain to a fast flow as if you hadn’t ever had a kitchen drain blockage.

Drain Repipe

John The Plumber deeply cares about the customer. We truly want to find the best solution to your plumbing drain issues.

However, once in a while, the best resolution is to replace an affected pipe.

If you need a drain repipe in Oakville, our plumbers can complete the job in its entirety. You don’t need to call several companies to dig, supply, repipe, and refill – like you might need with some competitors.

If you’re dealing with a severely stubborn drain issue, we’ve got your back and we’ll do everything we can to make the process as easy and painless as possible!

Clogged Sinks

Sometimes a clogged sink is easy to fix. Many homeowners have fixed clogged sink drains with a plunger! However, sometimes it’s a little more difficult. Kitchen sink drains, for example, notoriously accumulate grease and other gunk, and they can be extremely difficult to properly clean.

While certain drain cleaners may temporarily help, they rarely clear out a drain properly. More often than not, the chemicals simply burn a hole through the drain blockage and allow for a small drainage hole in the accumulated drain mass.

When you use our clogged sink repair services, our experts will annihilate and clear the blockage in your sink drains. We will physically remove the drain without harsh chemicals, which will preserve the integrity of your drain pipes and the environment.

When you’re dealing with clogged sinks, we hope you’ll call John The Plumber for your fast, friendly, and reliable drain cleaning services!

Clogged Shower

Hair, soap scum, shaving cream, and other shower contents often result in a clogged shower. A little gunk gets stuck, and more particles accumulate until it’s a nasty mess. While some shower blockages are easy to clear, other shower clogs can be quite difficult.

Generally speaking, we are able to clear your shower or bathtub drain with an electrically-powered plumber auger. We’ll reach deep down into the plugged drain and extract a blockage, and flush away the remaining matter.

When you’re dealing with a clogged shower or a blocked bathtub, John The Plumber is ready and happy to help!

Hydro Jetting

Hydro Jet Drain Cleaners are powerful machines that use pressurized water to blast through blockages and buildups of grime.

These machines can clear out years of grease, scum, and mineral buildup as if it was never there. They can even blast away tree roots!

Some plumbing companies may suggest a drain repipe because it seems like the best solution in the moment. However, when you’re equipped with a powerful hydro jetter, you can often blast away through difficult blockages and clear drains without needing a drain replacement.

We’re equipped with all the latest and greatest technology to resolve your plumbing problems without breaking the bank.

Drain Repair

Sometimes, you may experience drain clogs and recurring drain issues because of damaged drain pipes.

Our experts will find the exact location of the issue using our drain inspection cameras and locators, and diagnose the issue.

From there, we can replace a small segment of pipe instead of repiping your entire system.

When you’re dealing with a drain issue, few companies have the experience and equipment to resolve your issues as easily and quickly as John The Plumber, and ultimately save you money while offering premium drain repair services.

Top-Notch Customer Service

There’s a severe shortage of plumbers in Oakville.

Unfortunately, that means that most plumbing companies have more business than they can handle. They often take for granted what they have, and forget about offering an outstanding customer experience.

John The Plumber knows better than that. We know that good business means offering world-class service. We do what we can to ensure that you have a positive experience with our plumbers and customer service.

While we definitely want your business, we also want your referrals. So, we know we have to offer the best customer service to get them!

Proper Equipment

You might not know it, but new plumbing technology is developed and launched fairly regularly. Some of this new equipment can resolve issues far more efficiently and effectively than older techniques.

When it comes to drain cleaning, it’s not unusual for an ill-equipped plumber to recommend entire drain replacement services because they fail to clear a blockage.

This often means far more expensive plumbing services than may be required if a technician with proper drain cleaning equipment had been hired.

John The Plumber vans are equipped with nearly everything you could imagine to clear drains. We have machines for tree roots. We have other machines for grease blockages. We have machines for clogged toilets.

Same-Day Plumbing Service

Drain cleaning is a plumbing emergency that most people can’t wait for!

Unfortunately, most Oakville plumbing companies often have a long waitlist.

When you need plumbing services fast, John The Plumber is the plumbing company near you to choose!

Quick response to initial request. Came out next day, on time, and fixed the drain. Good service.

Gerald

Very pleased with the service Mike provided. Arrived at the expected time, work boots came off, polite and personable. Explained thoroughly what needed to be done and cost upfront, new part versus old part. Would certainly use again and recommend to anyone.

Phil

Couldn’t be happier with John The Plumber. Michael came to the rescue, he arrived on time and did a fantastic job. If I ever need a plumber again, I’ll be calling John The Plumber. Michael repaired a very clogged kitchen sink drain and replaced a rusted out kitchen sink strainer. A++++

How Can I Avoid Clogged Drains?

While some drain issues may be inevitable with regular use, many drain clogs and plumbing emergencies can be avoided with good maintenance and avoiding certain situations.

If you follow most of the following suggestions, you should have less drain issues than most other Oakville homes!

Clear Your Plates Into The Garbage

It might be tempting to rinse your dinner plates in the sink without clearing the crumbs and chunks off, but this could be a costly mistake.

Kitchen sink drains clog more often than most drains due to the amount of solids and oils going down the drain. You might see the food go down the drain and be satisfied, but somewhere down the line, a mass of rotting food contents may be building up.

Unfortunately, clogged kitchen sink drains can be some of the most difficult to clean. Oftentimes, a blockage may seem fixed because water flow may be somewhat restored, but a lot of the original contents of the blockage may remain in the line.

Don't Dump Coffee Grinds Into The Kitchen Drain

It’s tempting to rinse your coffee filter in the sink without clearing it in the garbage, however, this could turn out to be a costly mistake.

Coffee grinds can stick to other gunk in the drains. This combination of grinds and grime can cling onto other gunk. And, before long, you can have a solid mass of coffee grinds and other matter – and a drain that doesn’t drain.

While it may be less convenient to clean coffee filters into the garbage, you may find that hiring a professional drain cleaning company is less convenient – although John The Plumber will make it as convenient as possible!

Don't Rinse Grease or Fat Into The Kitchen Drain

While the fat in the frying pan may be liquid in the moment, it doesn’t remain liquid when it cools down. As the grease travels through your drain lines, the temperature of the grease drops. As it drops, it congeals and sticks to the pipes.

If you’ve never seen a grease clog, it might shock you. Complete grease blockages in drain pipes is a common issue. Even the best drain cleaning equipment can’t always clear out these blockages, and often requires replacing your drain pipes.

Use Drain Strainers

Drain strainers save tons of money!

The amount of hair and food chunks that get disposed in the garbage due to strainers, instead of the drain, is incredible!

Considering the low cost of drain strainers, they are one of the best investments a homeowner can make!

Don't Use Drains For Chemical Disposal

Paint and other chemicals don’t belong in your drains.

Your home drain system and the public sewer system are not built for chemical disposal. Additionally, chemical waste puts an enormous strain on water treatment facilities, and it’s a completely unnecessary waste of money.

There are chemical disposals at most hardware stores. This the environmentally-friendly and plumbing system-friendly alternative to pouring chemicals down the drain.

Only Use Toilets For Normal Human Waste And Toilet Paper

Q-tips, dental floss, tampons, wrappers, paper towel, tissues, and “flushable” wipes are a small part of the list of things that don’t belong in your toilet.

Human waste and toilet paper break down very easily. Even if your toilet clogs, waiting a short period of time often resolves the toilet blockage without any effort on your part.

However, if your toilet blockage is made of anything tougher and more durable than toilet paper then it will require more work.

We can often clear a toilet blockage with an auger, but sometimes we need to remove the entire toilet in order to clear the blockage. In fact, sometimes a blockage can become so badly wedged and stuck, that a toilet replacement might be required.

However, rest assured that we will do everything in our power to resolve your blocked toilet issues without unnecessary services.

Be Careful With Your Garbage Disposal

Garbage disposals can handle a lot of organic matter, however, it’s not built to dispose of actual non-organic garbage.

Additionally, even some organic matter is best left in the trash or compost. For example, fibrous things like banana peels should not go into your garbage disposal.

Be Careful About Washing Tools In The Sink

People often clean their tools in their utility sinks. While this makes cleanup relatively easy, you must be careful.

A lot of the stuff that sticks to your tools can also stick to your pipes.

Our advice to avoid utility sink blockages or clogged laundry sinks is to use good judgement when deciding what to clean in these sinks.

Flush Drains

When you use your sink for cleaning, it’s wise to fill the sink with hot water before pulling the plug.

This forces a lot of water into the drain simultaneously, which will force any matter out of your drain system before it has an opportunity to stick and form a blockage.

Clean Drains Regularly

Regular drain cleaning is a great way to avoid an expensive emergency drain cleaning service.

We recommend cleaning your drains once a month.

Don’t worry, it’s very easy.

Pour some baking soda down the drain, followed by some vinegar. Let it fizzle for a while, then flush it down with hot water.

The chemical reaction does a great job of breaking down drain buildups. Flushing it with hot water afterwards forces the matter out of your drain and plumbing system.

How Can I Fix My Clogged Drain?

If you’re dealing with a clogged drain, there’s a number of things you can try before calling an Oakville drain company.

Try a Plunger

Plungers aren't just for toilets!

If you have a blocked sink, a plunger can often dislodge a blockage.

However, if you're using a double sink, make sure that you block the second drain. Otherwise, you won't produce the pressure or suction needed to clear a blockage.

Try Baking Soda and Vinegar

Hover to Learn More

When mixed together, baking soda and vinegar produces an interesting and fizzy chemical reaction.

What's really interesting is how effective this can be at breaking apart blockages.

While drain cleaning chemicals have a bad reputation for damaging drain and plumbing systems, baking soda and vinegar is very safe.

Try Snaking The Drain

Hover to Learn More

If the blockage is close enough to the drain or P-trap, you may be able to break the blockage or fish it out yourself.

If you straighten an old wire hanger and bend the tip into a hook, you may find success and avoid emergency plumbing services!
