Plumbing · Drain Service
Drain service in Toronto and the GTA.
A drain that gurgles, empties slowly or smells is usually telling you about the pipe past the trap, not the trap itself. We find out which before we take anything apart.

What usually
turns out to be wrong.
A drain problem is either something in the trap, something in the branch beyond it, or a vent that isn’t letting air in, and the three behave differently. A blocked trap fills the bowl and stops. A partly blocked branch drains, then backs up when the washing machine empties into the same line. A venting fault gurgles, pulls the seal out of nearby traps and lets smells through. Which one you have decides what the work is, so we settle that before anything comes apart.
A kitchen sink that drains slower every month
Grease sets on the walls of the pipe as it cools and the bore closes gradually. It clears for a week after a plunger and comes back, because the coating is further down the line than the trap.
Gurgling from another fixture
Run the sink and the floor drain burps, or the toilet bubbles. That is air being pulled through the wrong opening, which points at the vent rather than at anything in the way of the water.
A smell with no leak
Sewer gas in a room with nothing wet in it usually means a trap has lost its water seal, either through evaporation in a fixture nobody uses or because something else is siphoning it out.
Water in the cabinet after every wash
A drain that only leaks when the dishwasher runs is a volume problem: the joint holds a trickle and lets go under a pumped discharge, usually at a slip nut or a hose clamp that was never pulled up.
A trap that has been rebuilt too many times
Stacked extensions, mismatched materials, a washer packed in to take up a gap and no fall across the arm. It works until it doesn’t, and every repair adds another joint that can weep.
The laundry tub or floor drain backing up
When the washer empties, water rises somewhere else. That is a shared branch that can’t take a pumped discharge, and no amount of work under the sink will change it.
What the job includes.
Finding where the restriction is
We run water and watch how it behaves: how fast the bowl drops, whether it gurgles, whether a second fixture reacts. That tells us how far down the problem sits.
Clearing the trap and the arm
The trap dropped into a bucket, cleaned out or replaced, and the arm cleared back to the wall rather than pushed further along for somebody else to find.
Rebuilding in new ABS
Where the assembly is past saving it comes out whole and goes back in new ABS, cut to the sink rather than made up out of extensions, with unions that come apart again by hand.
Disposal and dishwasher connections
The disposal outlet, the dishwasher hose and its high loop all sorted at the same time, because those are the two things that turn a slow drain into water on the cabinet floor.
What we can and can’t reach
A trap, an arm and the reachable part of a branch are our work. Where the fault is out in the buried line or the stack, we say so plainly rather than charge you twice.
How the visit goes.
- 01Describe the patternWhich fixtures are affected, whether it is getting worse, and whether anything else reacts when the water runs. That is often enough to know where to start.
- 02Water in, cabinet openWe fill and release the bowl with the cupboard open and a light on the joints, so we see how it drains and where it weeps at the same time.
- 03Clear or rebuild, priced firstWe tell you whether it is a clear, a trap rebuild or something further down the line, and what each one costs, before anything comes apart.
- 04Run it hard before we goBoth bowls filled and released together, the disposal run, the dishwasher cycled if it shares the line, and the cabinet left dry and wiped down.

Drain Service questions.
If yours isn’t here, the phone is the fastest way to have it answered, seven days a week.
A repair visit starts with the flat $79.99 service call. That covers finding out what is actually wrong, which matters more here than on most jobs, because a slow sink, a vent fault and a blocked branch look identical from the kitchen. Once we know, the work is quoted before anything is taken apart, and it carries our two-year warranty.
Water where it shouldn’t be?
Describe what is leaking, dripping or draining slowly, and we will tell you what the fix takes before we come out.
