Toronto's Best Plumbers For Your Drains & Sewers

Drain & Sewer Services

The DrainWorks team consists of award-winning plumbers in Toronto who are completely 100% commission-free, specialized drain technicians.

Our plumbers are fully-trained and highly skilled with sophisticated technology used for inspecting and clearing drains, including drain snaking (also called rootering), snaking video drain camera inspections, drain excavations and replacement, and drain hydro jetting. No job is too big, too small or too difficult for the DrainWorks professional team.

Some of the most common drain plumbing problems we deal with are:

• Backed-up drains and sewers

• Plugged or clogged sinks, showers, and tubs.

• Underground drainage repairs and full replacements

• Tree roots in drain pipes (underground)

Backed Up Drain & Backed Up Sewer Service

If your main sewer, or any one of your household drains, backs up, call the experts at DrainWorks Plumbing immediately.

Backed up water in your basement or home can lead to water damage to laminate/hardwood flooring, baseboards, cabinets plus it can stain your drywall and other materials. Standing water can lead to further problems including warping of wood and most serious of all: Mold.

Another reason to get your backed up pipes cleared immediately is the odour: If backed up sewer water gets behind your baseboards or walls, the odour may set it and be difficult to get rid of.

We never recommend using liquid plumbing products found in hardware stores, but this is one instance where you never want to use one: The product will just mix with the standing water and have zero effect on the plumbing issue itself, leaving you with a pool of harmful chemicals.

The licensed plumbers at DrainWorks in Toronto have multiple, safe, and environmentally-friendly solutions available to us to get your pipes flowing again including drain rootering, drain snaking and hydrojetting.

Clogged & Blocked Drain: Sinks, Toilets, Tubs, Showers & Floor Drains

Sinks, toilets, bathtubs, showers and floor drains all get clogged every now and then and it's a very common problem. You can trust the drain experts at DrainWorks Plumbing to make sure we get your plumbing system working free and clear once again.

Common clogging objects for sinks include cooking/animal fats, food and bones, hair and debris. For toilets, common clogging culprits consist of toilet paper/feminine products, hard stool, and other debris. Drains are susceptible to being blocked by rocks and tree roots and for older homes broken clay pipes.

Our licensed plumbers will recommend the best option for clearing your clogged drain or toilet.

We also offer free quotes: Email us a photo/video of your clog and we'll give you a quote.

Plus our services come with a guarantee: We will clear it, or you don’t pay!®

Plumbing Video Camera Inspections

Sometimes clogs and blockages happen way below your home and often in the pipes leading out to the city's main drainage system.

Our plumbing video camera inspections can identify where a blockage is and what exactly is causing it.

Once our team has identified whats causing the clog and where it is, we can then recommend the course of action for the home owner to safely remove it. This may include hydrojetting and in worst-case scenarios an excavation. Call us today to book your video camera inspection.

Drain Snake Rootering Service

Drain rootering (or drain snaking) is the perfect solution for freeing up smaller drains: kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, bathtubs and showers.

This procedure consists of inserting a long drain snake into the drain to remove blockages like grease, hair, and other loose debris.

It's environmentally safe, doesn't damage your pipes and is backed by both our lowest price guarantee AND our "we will clear it, or you don’t pay!®" policy.

Tree Roots Removal Service

Many homeowners may not realize just how big and strong a tree's root system is. Decades ago, before we had the privileges of todays technology, it was popular to make outdoor pipes out of clay, which tree roots can easily break through. This makes older homes in Toronto and the GTA more susceptible to having tree roots blocking your drains. Plus you now have broken pieces of clay adding to the problem. We've seen tree roots in drains that are under the home, in the backyard and front yard.


If you suspect you have tree roots growing in your drains, call DrainWorks Plumbing today to book an appointment.

Drain Replacement Excavation

Drain replacements via excavation is a 'last resort' when it comes to freeing up blocked or damaged drains, but sometimes it's the only solution a homeowner has.

We offer 2 different types of drain replacement services: An excavation where digging is required, but we also offer a state of the art "No-Dig" option that doesn't require any digging at all.

If you have a stunning landscaped backyard or garden or a finished basement but you need a drain replaced, call us and we'd be happy to offer you a quote.

Hydrojetting Services

Another effective, safe and eco-friendly option for clearing your drains is Hydrojetting. Hydrojeting is basically a super powerful pressure washer that uses water to free up blockages and drains.

This is an exceptional service as is cleans up any caked on residue that has formed on the inside of your pipes. Over the years, cooking grease, hair products, mold and mildew form on the inside of the pipe and make the pathway narrower and narrower. Our hydrojetting service clears all that away leaving you with a drain that looks like it was newly installed.

Give us a to and find out if hydrojetting is right for you.

Backwater Valves

One way to prevent water from entering your home is by installing a backwater valve.

These are great for homes that experience water backing up during heavy rainfall or melting snow: Sometimes in these situations the city's drain pipes can't handle the influx of water needed to be drained so they get backed up.... and unfortunately, that water backs up into peoples homes.

This handy device literally closes the sewer line of your house and prevents water from backing up into your home.


Homeowners should be educated on how to use backwater valves and they should ALWAYS be installed by a licensed plumbing company like DrainWorks. Our licensed plumbers and technicians can install city-approved backwater valves and fully educate you on how to use them properly.
