Clogged Drain Toronto
Clogged drains can occur at any time during the day or night. That’s why our in-house team of plumbers is available round the clock to help.
All our in-house plumbers are professionally trained, fully licensed, and insured. That means they have proven skills to unclog drains, clean sewers, and provide immediate assistance to residential and commercial property owners.





Professional Drain Cleaning Services
Clogged drains often begin unnoticed. A slow-draining sink or tub might seem minor, but by the time water pools or backs up, the problem has likely been building for days or months. That’s why it’s crucial to request our drain camera inspections the moment you notice signs of a clogged drain.
Ignoring a clogged drain can lead to pipe damage, foul odors, and even water contamination. Over our decades of serving Toronto, we’ve seen many homeowners and businesses being reluctant to schedule professional drain cleaning, only to face more serious blockages later.

Our licensed plumbers are trained to assess the entire drain system accurately, identify the cause of clogs, and remove the blockage without causing further damage to your plumbing system. Whether it’s a kitchen sink, bathroom drain, or main sewer line, we provide effective drain services.

Clogged drains don’t usually happen overnight. Most issues build up slowly and start with minor signs that are easy to miss. Thus, early detection through regular inspections is so important. At Water Pro, we help homeowners in Toronto catch minor clogs before they turn into major clogs.
Here are signs you have a blocked drain in your home or commercial property.
Gurgling Noises from Your Pipes
If you hear gurgling sounds when water drains, it often means there’s air trapped due to a blockage. This can happen in sinks, toilets, or even floor drains. It’s an early warning that your system isn’t venting properly.
Slow Draining Sinks, Tubs, or Showers
One of the most common signs of a clog is slow-draining tubs, sinks, and shower drains. It usually points to buildup in the pipes, like grease, soap scum, food debris, or hair that narrows the drain pipes. Ignoring it can lead to complete blockage over time.
Water Pooling or Backing Up
If water pools around floor drains or backs up into fixtures, it means a drain issue may be getting worse. The issue could be adverse if water returns after flushing or running taps. This can indicate a deeper problem in the drains or sewer line.
Unpleasant Odors
Bad smells coming from drains often mean food, waste, or other debris is stuck in the pipes. As it breaks down, it creates odors that rise through your drains. This is a sign that cleaning is needed. Don’t wait until a blocked drain causes sewer backup. Contact us.
A Toilet that won’t Flush
A clogged drain is a common issue that prevents toilets from flushing properly. Too much toilet paper or other foreign objects pushed down the drain may clog it and prevent waste from being flushed. While most homeowners use a plunger to force water and air down the drain, dislodging such clogs requires professional assistance.
Common Causes of Clogged Drains
Seemingly minor issues like cooking grease buildup in your drains can end up causing serious drain blockages. Over time, the dirt build-up will block a drain or multiple pipes. That means wastewater has nowhere to go. Here are the two categories of causes of drain clogging.
Everyday Habits
Most clogged drains begin with your everyday habits. In kitchens, fats, oils, and grease are major culprits. When washed down the sink, they cool and solidify inside the pipes. They stick to the walls and begin to trap other debris. In bathrooms, hair and soap scum build up over time, forming tough clogs that slow or block drainage.
Toilets can also become clogged when non-flushable items like wipes, wrappers, or small toys are flushed accidentally. These clogs typically form slowly, which is why you should pay attention to early signs like slow draining or gurgling sounds.
Outdoor & Structural Causes
Clogs aren’t always caused by what goes down the drain. Sometimes the problem starts outside. For example, tree roots naturally seek out moisture and can grow into small cracks in your sewer line. Eventually, tree root intrusions into your drains could cause serious blockages.
Another issue is sediment and mineral buildup, especially in homes with hard water. Such build-ups narrow pipe openings over time and eventually lead to drain blockages. If you suspect deeper structural issues may be causing drain clogging, our team can inspect and clean your home’s plumbing system.

Camera Inspections
Drain clogs can form deep within the system, beyond reach. Our video camera inspection allows us to view the inside of your pipes in real-time to pinpoint exactly where the blockage or damage is. This comprehensive inspection makes it easy to identify the cause of clogging and ensures we recommend only the necessary repairs.

Types of Clogged Drain in Residential and Commercial Properties
Drain clogging can happen anywhere in the home or commercial property. If left unattended, blocked pipes can slow down your drainage system, affect water quality, and even lead to costly repairs. That’s why our drain cleaning services focus on fast response and a lasting fix.
Perhaps the blockage is caused by debris buildup, aging pipes, or improper use. In any case, our team uses advanced technology to assess the issue and provide professional plumbing services to restore your drainage system with a thorough drain cleaning. Therefore, you can count on us for effective solutions for blockages in the following:


01Basement Drains
Basement drain blockages are one of the most damaging plumbing issues. They’re often caused by a build-up mix of dirt, debris, and groundwater. If not cleared quickly, water can back up and flood your basement. This leads to property damage and mold growth. With expert drain repair and preventative options like sump pump installation, we help protect your home from basement flooding.
02Toilets Drains
Toilet clogs are a daily challenge for many homeowners in Toronto. These blockages often result from flushing non-flushable materials or excessive toilet paper (or paper towels). If your plunger isn’t working, it’s time to call in our professionals.
03Kitchen Sinks
Food particles, grease, and soap residue are the top causes of kitchen sink clogs. These substances harden inside the pipe, narrow the passage, and trap more waste. Instead of pouring chemicals or hot water down your sink, let our experienced team provide safe and effective drain cleaning services.
04Showers Drains
Shower drains see a regular flow of hair, soap, and dirt. Over time, accumulation of these materials causes a thick, slow-draining clog. If water is pooling around your feet while you shower, the chances are that your shower drain isn’t flowing properly. Our technicians use specialized tools and thorough cleaning techniques to clear shower drains.
05Clogged Main Drain
The main drain line connects your home’s plumbing to the city sewer system. A clog here affects every fixture in your home and often shows up as slow drains or sewage backing up. Using video camera inspection and hydro jetting, we locate and clear these blockages at the source. This ensures minimal disruption to your routine and better water flow for your plumbing system.
06Clogged Drain Pipes
Clogged pipes often start with minor debris buildup, such as grease, food scraps, or mineral deposits sticking to pipe walls. Over time, this build-up hardens and narrows the pipe. Ignoring it can cause leaks, burst pipes, or full blockages. Our licensed plumbers can perform routine inspections and regular drain cleaning to prevent blockages.
Professional Cloggedl Drain Solutions Beat Quick DIY Fixes
Many homeowners try DIY methods like using baking soda and vinegar to fix drain problems, hoping for a quick and inexpensive solution. While these options seem harmless, they rarely solve the issue fully. In fact, repeated use of harsh chemicals can damage pipes and worsen various plumbing problems over time.
On the other hand, professional drain cleaning services offer a safer and more reliable approach. Our licensed plumbers use equipment like hydro jetting to clear drains effectively, without damaging your drains. Remember, our clogged drain solutions are designed to comply with local regulations.
Hiring a professional saves money in the long run and protects your plumbing system from further damage. Note that Water Pro is a reputable company that offers transparency about pricing and quotes. Therefore, no hidden fees.

FAQs
How do you know if a drain is clogged or just slow?
If water is draining slower than usual and making gurgling noises, it’s a sign of a clog forming. If multiple drains are affected or there’s wastewater backup, the issue is likely deeper in your plumbing system and needs professional attention.

Chemical cleaners may provide a short-term fix, but they can damage your pipes over time. They also don’t address the root cause of the blockage. For safe, lasting results, professional drain cleaning is the better option.
