Do You Need Drain Cleaning?

No one likes having to deal with a blocked drain and dealing with them over and over can be a major hassle. However, this is what happens when systems start to fail. While an occasional clogged drain may be an inconvenience, blocked pipes can quickly escalate from minor issues into major problems. A clogged drain left unprepared can cause slow water drainage, flooding, corrosion, and in some more extreme cases can cause sewage backup leading to costly repairs. The key to eliminating your drain problems is by identifying the source of the blockage. We do this via video camera inspection which alerts us to the damage or blockage within your pipe. You can also keep an eye out for other household causes of clogged drains by referencing the list of common blockages below…

Some companies charge $150+ for an in-house estimate. Our experts will come to you for only $50.00.

Common Causes of Clogged Drains

Build-up Of Hair

Hair is one of the biggest culprits when it comes to drain blockages. While on its own it can be a major factor in a clogged drain, hair also binds with sticky substances such as grease and soap leading to a blockage that is harder to remove. Bathtubs, showers and bath room sinks are the areas where you may commononly encounter this type of blockage. You can avoid hair clogs by ensuring that all drains have guards where necessary in order to catch the hair. It’s also important that these guards are regularly cleaned.

Food Waste Blockage

You may have a garbage disposal in your sink, even still it isn’t ideal at any time to put excess food waste down the drain. Things like coffee grounds and tea leaves and even small bits of excess food are often hard to break down and can lead to a troublesome blockage. You should also be cautious of other substances such as grease or oil as they have a tendency to solidify in pipes once cooled and will cause a clog. Try absorbing oil on a paper towel for disposal into your compost to avoid this.

Dirt Build-Up

Contrary to popular belief, your drains and pipes are not necessarily meant for washing anything and everything away. This excess can form a build-up and in order to solve the issue you may have to use drain cleaner, a plunger or employ services from a professional plumber. To avoid this try shaking or rinsing excess dirt off of your and your clothing outside before washing them inside.

Soap / Soap Scum Build-Up

You may be surprised to hear that traditional soap bars are usually made up of grease and or fat. While it may not be common knowledge that soap itself is can cause a clogged drain, the fat in soap combined with minerals in your water can leave a hard residue known as soap scum. This residue can stain and clog everything from laundry, shower to bathroom drains. Try to incorporate some soap-free washes and have your pipes pressure cleaned to rinse away traces of soap buildup in order to avoid this type of blockage.

Build-Up Of Minerals

Mineral clogs can be one of the most difficult blockages to remove once they have established themselves. Minerals dissolve in hard water and create insoluble masses that block your drains. One available solution is to install a water softener for your home if you find that hard water is an issue. However, in some cases, this isn’t an option in which case you will need to regularly descale and remove sediment build-up. This is also a case where a professional plumber may be required if your pipes and drains have stopped flowing properly.

Toilet Paper Blockage

Another common cause of a clogged drain is toilet paper. If there is too much then this can cause a blockage. While oftentimes this can be dislodged with the use of a plunger you’ll need to call a plumber to have the material properly dislodged if you find that your toilet still only fills without draining.

Foreign Objects Blockage

It goes without saying that nothing other than water, toilet paper, and human waste should be flushed down the toilet. In the event that any foreign object has found its way into your pipes then it is likely that you will have to seek professional assistance from a plumber in order to properly remove the blockage and ensure your plumbing returns to normal.

Tree Root Growth

Another less commonly known cause of blockages can come from tree root growth within the pipes. Small cracks or leaks in your underground pipes can cause the growth of tree roots! Once the root forms inside of the pipe they quickly grow larger and obstruct water flow causing pipe damage. The process of clearing tree roots from pipes can be very complex and will require a rooter service, trenchless repair, pressure jet cleaning, or even excavation. By monitoring the condition of your drains and keeping in mind the root structure of the trees in your own backyard you may be able to avoid a costly repair.

There are so many ways a drain can become clogged. The best way to avoid any further issues beyond inconvenience is to make sure this doesn’t happen in the first place. Avoid attempting to clean drains by adding extra chemicals or objects and never put any foreign objects down your drain. If you find that your pipes are experiencing an immovable blockage and need aid from an experienced plumber contact Official Plumbing & Heating for around-the-clock assistance.

We recently had four toilets replaced by Official Plumbing and Heating. Everyone was very professional and super friendly. Andrew and Dominic did an amazing job. Andrew answered all my questions in detail and helped us pick out which toilets were the best option. He went above and beyond. Danielle on the phone was also very friendly and always available. Would highly recommend.

The plumbers showed up on time, actually a little earlier then promised, explained what they were doing, cleaned up after themselves, and went over all the completed work. Would highly recommend, and I would gladly use them again. If you are looking for a dependable plumber, you found it!

Great company to work with.I had a leakage due to a pipe burst in the wall in the garage, and I set an appointment with them. Andrew the technician, called in advance, arrived on time, inspected the issue and gave me a quote up front, so no hidden fees. Much appreciated. After my approval he proceeded with the work. He did a great job, very efficient and done in a reasonable timeframe. At the end we inspected the final work together. Their warranty is decent as well. Thank you Andrew for being such a nice person and giving me advice on a proper maintenance . HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Title: Exceptional Shower Rough-In ServiceI recently hired official for a shower rough-in, I am thoroughly impressed with their service. From the initial consultation to the completion of the job, they exhibited professionalism and expertise. Throughout the installation, they maintained a high level of attention to detail, ensuring that everything was done according to code and to my satisfaction. The team worked efficiently and effectively, completing the job in a timely manner without sacrificing quality. The end result exceeded my expectations, and I now have a perfectly installed shower rough-in that I can rely on for years to come. I highly recommend them.
This was the first time we had Official Plumbing & Heating help us out and it definitely won't be our last time. Travis, the Plumber was friendly, professional and explained what he was doing and satisfied our needs so everything was working again. When we called for help on Friday they showed up on Tuesday morning even though I said it wasn't an emergency. Their response time was great and as a bonus, we were able to use our Debit card to pay and their fees were really reasonable. We will highly recommend this company to all of our friends and associates.Lawrence & Helen King

Great service and very quick to respond; the in-home estimate was thorough and we had a good discussion about what work was needed now, and what could be done later. Interestingly, I've never seen my pet so relaxed around somebody inside my home...I take that as a good sign of a quality person!Edited to add the work was completed today. Excellent quality in the workmanship, and they were able to get a great deal for me on new faucets, and passed the savings along to me. Highly recommend Official Plumbing & Heating!

I found this company on our community bulletin, read their reviews online, and decided to give them a try. I'm impressed with the service they provided and would not hesitate to recommend them. Andrew was very friendly, respectful, knowledgeable and professional. He called first and arrived promptly. He provided a couple of repair options regarding my water tank issue. Made some recommendations and provided upfront pricing. Very friendly, and professional service.

I would highly recommend official plumbing! I had a poly b line crack and they were able to come promptly in the morning and provided me with several repair options, recommendations and upfront pricing. They found the most cost effective solution and also provided some insight on longer term poly b replacement. Very friendly service (and dog friendly!).

In the last two years we have used Official Plumbing & Heating for a toilet issue that was leaking into our basement, replacing our hot water tank, and most recently a complete replacement of all our waterlines. Andrew has completed all these jobs with the addition of Travis on our waterlines. The whole team at Official is professional, knowledgeable, and honest. Not to mention Official sponsored an Event I was involved with for The Salvation Army. These guys care about their customers and their community. Thanks so much for the peace of mind guys! I know when you do a job I have nothing to worry about.

Changed My Hot Water tank. Great prices and customer service. My utility room looked cleaner after they finished than before they entered. moved my new tank into a different position than my original to create more space in my tiny room. Something I never would have thought of. Great customer service will absolutely be using them again.In addition to this they have also fixed my toilet and put in a new bathroom fan. The service the 2nd and 3rd time were just as good as the first. Travis came for 1 fix and Andrew for the other. Both technicians were great.

Called the company yesterday and they showed up promptly at 8am this morning. Travis is very professional, knowledgable and personable. Explaining everything that needed to be done, and quoting a price prior to beginning the repair. As he was working he explained to my dad ( in a voice loud enough for my dad to hear) what he was doing and what else needed to be done. He was thorough and understanding. Definitely a company I will use again for any further plumbing needs. Thank you

I called Official Plumbing & Heating for the first time yesterday at 7:30 am. Hadn't realized how early it was so hung up and was going to call back. five minutes later I got a call back from "Bill" who quickly set up an appointment for 8:00 am next day. Bill was on time for appointment, quickly diagnosed my plumbing problem, and rather than having to wait for new sink Fawcett, Bill drove and picked one up and installed same day. Price was fair, service was excellent. Would recommend Bill to friends & family and will call him again whenever I require a plumber. If you want to verify please email me at dmfrench@shaw.ca. Don F
