Slow sink, gurgling tub or sewage coming up the basement floor drain — licensed plumbers with snakes, hydro jetters and cameras for every drain in a Guelph home or business.
Grease, hair and soap build-up cleared from sinks, tubs and showers — not just punched through, but cleaned so it stays clear.
Backups at the lowest drain in the house mean the main line is blocked. We clear roots, wipes and collapsed sections and tell you what we found.
High-pressure water scours the full pipe wall for grease-heavy lines, restaurants and chronic blockages a snake only opens for a few weeks.
A sewer camera shows exactly where and why a drain keeps blocking — roots, bellies, offset joints or clay pipe that has had its day.
Basement floor drains, catch basins and weeping tile connections cleared before the next heavy rain.
When the pipe itself is the problem, we repair or replace the section, including excavation and City of Guelph permits.

A single slow sink is usually a quick snake. Several slow drains at once, gurgling when the toilet flushes, or water appearing at the basement floor drain means the main sewer line is involved and needs a plumber with a proper machine.
Tree roots are the most common cause of main-line blockages in Guelph. Mature maples and spruces on older lots find every joint in a clay or cast iron sewer. We clear the roots, run a camera to see how much pipe is affected, and give you a straight answer on whether a yearly cleaning or a repair makes more sense.

A straightforward sink, tub or toilet clog is typically a flat service call. Main sewer line clearing costs more because it needs a larger machine and more time, and hydro jetting or a camera inspection are priced separately. We quote before we start.
A drain that blocks again within weeks usually has something a snake cannot fix: a grease-lined pipe, root intrusion at a joint, a sag (belly) that holds water and debris, or a partly collapsed section. A camera inspection tells you which.
Usually, yes. A sewage backup at the floor drain is treated as an emergency because every flush makes it worse. Stop running water in the house and call.
On sound pipe, yes — the pressure is adjusted to the line. On badly deteriorated clay or cast iron we camera the line first, because jetting a pipe that is already failing can open it up. We will tell you before we jet.
Yes. Grease-heavy kitchen lines and multi-unit stacks are what hydro jetting is for, and we can put a commercial building on a scheduled cleaning so it never backs up in service.
