Frequently Asked Questions:

Snaking a drain is a plumbing process that helps unclog drains. When a plunger doesn't get the job done, often the next step is to snake a drain.

Drain snaking is a proven solution that has been in use for many years. The process works by inserting a corkscrew-fitted steel cable through the drains to break the clogs and blockages, restoring water flow. It also helps eliminate foul smells caused by debris buildup and stagnant water stuck in your pipes.

The drain snake is a plumber's secret weapon that removes stubborn clogs that are proving resistant to plunging . Technically, it's called a drain auger but is nicknamed the snake due to its coiled shape.

You should not try to snake a drain on your own, it should always be left to the experts.Here are the 3 key reasons: pipe damage, toxic water, and injury. Pipe damage occurs when a wrong tool is used or a right tool but not correctly. You might be fortunate to get your hands on the proper drain auger but applying too much or too little force often results in pipe damage or the drain snake getting stuck. Escalating a simple clog to a multiple thousand dollar drain repair. Toxic, sewage water is the second reason you should not try and snake on your own. Plumbers wear full protective gear when snaking a drain otherwise there's a major risk of bacteria, infections, and other unpleasantries. The last reason for not snaking yourself is a risk of injury.

Most bathroom drain clogs result when dirt, skin flakes, and especially hair binds to soap scum on the walls of drain pipes. Over time, this gunk accumulates and reduces water flow.

Another reason could be a collapsed pipe, such as an old clay pipe. Or tree root intrusion into the drain pipe going out from your home into the city sewer.

In an extreme case where the snake is unable to clear the blockage we would need to access the pipe to remove it. This is done by excavating the ground if the blockage is outside the house or breaking the concrete and repaching if in the basement.

The cost of the snaking service depends on the type of blockage and the time it takes to remove it.

Opting for professional drain snaking services guarantees top-quality plumbing care.

The cost depends on the severity of the clog, the length of the affected pipe, and the time required to clear the blockage.

Regular drain maintenance prevents major blockages and plumbing failures, reducing costly repairs and downtime.

Commercial properties benefit by ensuring their drainage systems remain clear of debris and blockages.

Camera inspections reveal clogs and other issues without digging, helping plumbers decide the best way to remove blockages.

Hydro jetting removes clogs using high-pressure water, which is eco-friendly and effective against various blockages.

Tree roots can enter pipe cracks, causing severe blockages or bursts, especially in older sewer systems.

Use drain guards, flush drains with hot water, and schedule annual inspections with licensed plumbers.

A professional inspection at least once a year is ideal, especially for older homes.

Recent Reviews

I had an old sewer pit in the house with improper lid, which didn't seal the pit properly, could feel the sewer smell in the basement. Called several companies and every one of them said the only way is to replace the whole pit (they can't make a custom lid for the existing one). Other companies quoted more than $4000 for the job, plus 2-3 days of work(=several days of mess in the house). I tried to resolve the issue by other means: installed a fan, tried to seal the pit in different ways. Nothing helped. A friend of mine suggested them as a reliable and reasonable company. They came the next day after my call, gave me a much better quote ($1000 less than other companies), did an amazing very clean job in 1 DAY! Since then, my problem was resolved - no more sewer smell in the house. The pit works perfectly and will last a long time. I am very satisfied with their services and wish I knew about them earlier and didn't spend money on other stuff that didn't work. Would definitely recommend to everybody I know.

Canadian Rooter responded quickly to my call, even though it was on a weekend. My house still had old clay drains and after experiencing sewage back-ups due to tree roots in the drains I finally decided to replace the pipes under the house. The supervisor explained clearly how the work would be done (main line relacement inside, backwater valve, two floor drains and 12 feet drain replacement outside) and the crew arrived promptly as scheduled the following Monday. The job was done quickly as promised and the crew left the basement working area clean. The supervisor even called me at work during the daytime to update me on the cause of an obstruction in the outside drain. A project which could well have been unpleasant turned out to be a pleasant experience, as it left me feeling I could trust CR and I ended up happy that I had the work done. The price as well seemed reasonable. They made me feel that they were working in my best interest.

I phoned several plumbing services early in the morning to get an estimate on clearing our clogged kitchen drain. They said they'd have someone call me back, or could send someone out "this afternoon". But Mike took my call promptly, arranged to come to my house that morning, arrived on time, gave me a firm - and competitive - cost, and set to work with professionalism and real expertise. When the snaking didn't clear the drain Mike was ready with a larger machine, which did the trick. He cleaned up everything neatly when he'd finished, gave me some useful advice on preventing future clogs and was helpful and courteous throughout. I'd recommend Mike anytime! Those other guys? I'm still waiting for them to return my call......

Top notch service!! Called at 10:45 on a Friday with kitchen sink clogged. I put 2 days into trying to correct the problem myself. Service rep Nat was over in about 1 hour. Went above and beyond...Corrected the problem in a reasonable period of time. Also suggested some other measures that I could take later. Cleaned up work area completely and was absolutly a pro. Will give him and the company as a referral !!!

In late Jan. my upstairs drainage stopped working. After renting a snake and still no drainage I called Mike who came by after work a few days later. I had dealt with Mike two times before and was very pleased with the results. This time he checked out the symptoms and then camera'd the sanitary line. Turns out the line was jammed with roots from a nearby tree. He quickly sized up what needed to be done and what the total cost would be. I agreed to what he suggested and he said he would arrange to get the City permit and get the job started ASAP. He called later in the week and said the guys would be here at 9 AM Monday. The crew arrived on time Monday and started work. They kept the work area as clean as possible, threw down tarps inside the door and the stairway leading downstairs. I went down after a few hours and was amazed at the progress they had made. They had dug up the 30 + plus feet under the floor that needed replacing and had removed the main stack which provided drainage from the main floor. They were starting to install the replacement PVC. Around 3 PM, they let me know that I could now use my water and toilet which I did! They left around 5 and said they would return the next morning again to finish. They arrived the next morning and this time were cleaned up and gone before 12 noon. They would return to backfill 3-4 feet that was left open for the Inspector to view the backwater valve. Upon that inspection, the remaining section was backfilled and cemented. The job came out great and the workmanship was top notch. Mike dropped by a while later to settle up the final payment and did a quick snake out of the bathroom/kitchen line which was still causing a bit of a problem. After that I was 100% satisfied with the results. Thanks Mike and crew!
