FAQs
What are the most common signs that I need professional drain cleaning in Elora?
Slow-draining sinks or tubs, water backing up in floor drains, gurgling noises in pipes, foul odours coming from fixtures, and frequent need to plunge are all red flags. If you notice any of these issues, calling a licensed Elora plumber sooner rather than later prevents full blockages, water damage, and expensive repairs.
How quickly can your plumbers in Elora respond to a drain emergency?
We offer 24/7 emergency service throughout Elora, Fergus, and the rest of Centre Wellington. A technician is usually on site within 60–90 minutes of your call, day or night. Our vans are fully stocked, so most clogs are cleared during the first visit without waiting for parts.
Is it safe to use over-the-counter chemical drain cleaners on my pipes?
Store-bought chemical cleaners are harsh and can corrode older copper or galvanized pipes, soften PVC joints, ruin rubber gaskets, and harm septic systems. They also pose burn and fume hazards. Professional mechanical or hydro-jet cleaning removes clogs effectively without damaging your plumbing or the environment.
What methods do you use to clear stubborn clogs?
After a camera inspection to locate the blockage, we choose the safest, most effective tool: augers or drain snakes for localized clogs, high-pressure hydro-jetting for grease, scale, or tree roots, and enzymatic treatments for maintenance. All equipment is industry-grade and safe for residential and commercial pipe materials.
How can I prevent future clogs in my home’s drains?
Avoid pouring fats, oils, and coffee grounds down the kitchen sink; install hair catchers in showers; run cold water when using a garburator; and schedule an annual preventative clean-out. For homes with mature trees, a yearly camera inspection helps detect root intrusion before it becomes a blockage.
Do your drain cleaning services come with a warranty or guarantee?
Yes. All mechanical drain cleaning work is backed by a 90-day warranty, and hydro-jetting services include a 6-month no-clog guarantee on the line we serviced, provided no foreign objects are introduced. We also supply video footage of the cleaned line for your records and insurance purposes.
