Here are some common symptions that reveal that your drains are in need of cleaning.
Slow draining
Pay attention to your kitchen, shower, and washing machine drains. Slow draining usually spells a build-up in your pipes somewhere.
Unpleasant odours
If you have noticed any unpleasant odours coming from your drains, it could be built-up waste inside your pipes. Either sewage odors or musty odors coming rom your drains are sure signs that you need your drains cleaned
Gurgling noises
Do you hear gurgling noises whenever you flush the toilet or run water from your taps ? Get your line completely flushed to ensure that the problem is completely resolved.
Standing water
Do you have a puddle of standing water in your sink or shower ? This means your clogged drain situation is worsening and there is no time to lose.
Excess fruit flies
If you notice a bunch of fruit flies hovering around your drains, you potentially have waste building inside them. Time to get your drains professionally cleaned.
Frequent blockages
Do you need to frequently plunge your toilet or kitchen sink. This may be a warning sign that something even bigger lurks in your drainage pipes. Get it checked out before your problems get messier & stinkier.

6 warning signs of sewer back-up
Multiple slow drains
A clog in one fixture will affect that fixture. However, if you begin noticing that multiple drains are slow to drain, this is a sign that you need to give us a call.
Bubbles
When you notice that bubbles form in the toilet when it is not in use this is an indication that wastewater is unable to properly drain.
Unpleasant odour
A disgusting sewage smell coming from your toilet can indicate that the sewer line is backing up.
Multiple drain clogs
You know you have an issue when multiple drains start clogging. Usually the lowest drains in your house are initially affected and then the issue progresses to others in different parts of the house.
One drain affects another
If strange things happen in a different area of the house when you are using one fixture, this shows that something is clogging. Example: the sink backs up when using the washing machine.
Standing water or sewage
One of the most common signs is a puddle of water or remnants of sewage around a floor drain or plumbing cleanout. If you see this, then it is recommended that you have your sewer checked immediately.
Act quickly if you see these signs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Whose responsibility is it if my sewer
backs-up ?
Your responsibility with the sewer system starts at your property line and includes all plumbing and drainage lines in your home or workplace.
What must I do if my sewer backs-up ?
If you are facing a sewer back-up then it is crucial that you refrain from using water in your home until help arrives. It's also essential that you keep children and pets away from the affected area due to potential hazards to health.
Can I fix my clogged sink or toilet myself with a plunger ?
Yes, sometimes small blockages can be cleared with a plunger. However, if the problem keeps re-occurring then a larger issue is not being dealt with. Hiring a professional plumber to perform drain cleaning services will give you peace of mind because your problem will be addressed for the long-term.
Should I use chemical drain cleaning
products ?
While some may be tempted to turn to chemical drain cleaning products, these are not recommended. They can corrode metal pipes, damage plastic ones, and they have a terrible impact on the environment !
My drain just smells bad. Do I really need it cleaned ?
Yes. Sewer gases don't smell very pleasant, but more importantly, they are very unhealthy to inhale. If you have unpleasant sewer odours infiltrating your home, have your sewer lines augered to prevent harmful exposure to your family.
How do I know if I need a professional drain cleaner ?
If you cannot plunge the drain and if the water sits in a sink or toilet for a number of hours with gravity still not doing its job, it's time to call a professional.
We will arrive with the right tools and the expertise to alleviate your problem and get things draining as they should.
