Clogged and slow drains cleared in homes, condos, and businesses across Toronto and the GTA.

Drain cleaning

Clear the clog, then look at why it happened

A slow sink or a backed-up floor drain is easy to ignore until it overflows. Daniel’s Plumbing Services clears clogged and slow drains in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements across Toronto and the GTA.

Clearing the blockage is the first step. If a drain keeps clogging, Daniel looks for the reason, like a bad trap, a poorly sloped pipe, or a problem further down the line, and explains the options.

If your basement is at risk of a sewer backup, a backwater valve is worth a look too.

Questions about drain cleaning

How do I know if it’s more than a simple clog?

If several drains are slow at once, water comes up in a floor drain or tub when another fixture drains, or the same drain keeps clogging, the problem may be further down the line. Call and describe what you’re seeing.

Should I use chemical drain cleaners?

It’s best to avoid them. They often don’t clear the blockage fully, and they can be hard on pipes and on whoever opens the drain next.

Do you clean drains in condos and commercial buildings?

Yes. Daniel clears drains for homeowners, property managers, condo buildings, restaurants, and offices.

Can you help keep sewer water out of my basement?

Yes. A backwater valve on your main drain stops city sewer water from backing up into the house. In Toronto, Daniel handles the full City subsidy process.

Do you take emergency calls?

Yes. Emergency and after-hours calls are available. For anything urgent, call (437) 475-3798 instead of using the form.

Which areas do you cover?

Toronto and the GTA, including Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Oakville, and Milton.
