DRAIN CLEARING SERVICES
Living with blocked drains can be difficult, and dealing with unsanitary conditions, flooding water and bad odours can be a headache! Get reliable and experienced plumbing and drain clearing services in Scarborough and Toronto from Trouble Shooters.
Schedule Your ServiceAt Trouble Shooters, we investigate blocked drains daily and notice that sometimes homeowners take clear, proper performing drains for granted. Each drainpipe in your house plays a huge part in maintaining a safe, sanitary and comfortable home.
Debris, such as food particles, hair, and grease going down the drain can accumulate over time. This continuous build-up is what causes blocked drains and can lead to major backups and floods.
With over 70 years in the blocked drain business, trust that the Trouble Shooters team can clear your blocked drain fast. We have invested in advanced drain clearing technology like high-pressure jetters to ensure we get the job done right the first time.
UNBLOCKING DRAINS WITH PRECISION EQUIPMENT
To provide you with the best possible service, we keep up with/use only the latest plumbing technologies available in the market.
HYDRO JETTING
Hydro jetting is a process in which water is flushed through a drain with high pressure. The pressure forces the clog down the drain or pulls it back, thus clearing the blockage.
DRAIN SNAKING
This service helps in getting rid of relatively smaller clogs with the help of a bladed, hooked, or corkscrew-tipped cable.
VIDEO CAMERA INSPECTION
After or before any drain service we highly recommend a drain inspection to clearly identify the initial issue and that it has been resolved.
TYPES OF BLOCKAGES OR CLOGS IN YOUR HOME
There are four common clogs that can occur in your drain pipes:
Kitchen Clogs
Food particles, grease and dirt can clog your kitchen sink. Always grind up food with the garbage disposal.
Bathroom Clogs
Clumps of hair and soap residue can clog your sink and shower drains. Copious amounts of toilet paper or hygiene products can also clog toilets.
Main Drain Clogs
If every drain is backing up, the main drain might be the culprit. Tree roots or accumulation of debris may be to blame.
Washing Machine
Coins, rocks, safety pins and clothing fiber buildup can clog your washing machine drain.

Dealing with the Early Stages of a Blocked Drain
If you want to be adventurous and try some DIY, here are a few tips and tricks for the early stages of a blocked drain.
- 1 Plunge the drain – Use a quality plunger for your shower, sink and toilet drains.
- 2 Use a flange plunger – Best used on a blocked toilet.
- 3 Pour baking soda and vinegar into the drain together. Allow the combination to foam for a few minutes and follow up with boiling water.
⚠️ Chemical Warning
Whatever your first steps may be please avoid using chemical drain cleaners. While chemical drain cleaners kill bacteria, they can also be corrosive leading to more expensive repairs. These chemical drain cleaners boast that they will “destroy the clog” but they can also “destroy” your health. The chemicals used are highly toxic producing dangerous fumes and if touched, can even cause a chemical burn.
