What Is Going On, and What We Do About It
Grease in a kitchen line, hair and soap in a bathroom drain, and roots in a main line all feel the same at the sink: water that will not go down. The fix is different each time, and guessing with a bottle of chemicals often makes it worse. We start with where the clog sits and what it is made of, then pick the tool that fits.
Brentwood homes with large kitchens and long drain runs see a lot of grease build-up, and older sewer laterals in tree-lined neighbourhoods like Raintree Forest and Belle Rive pick up root intrusion. Clay soil movement can also shift joints, giving roots a way in. A cable may punch a hole through the clog; a camera shows whether the line is clear or just open enough to drain for a week.
Signs to Watch For
- A sink or tub that drains slowly or not at all
- Water backing up into a tub when a toilet flushes
- Gurgling from a drain when another fixture runs
- A bad smell from a drain that will not clear
- A toilet that clogs often or flushes weakly
- Standing water in a floor drain after rain
How We Fix It
- Find the clog. We work out whether the blockage is local to one fixture or in the main line, so we do not clear the wrong pipe.
- Clear it properly. A cable or auger breaks up most clogs. Hydro jetting scours grease and scale from the pipe walls when a cable is not enough.
- Check with a camera. For repeat clogs we run a camera to check for roots, bellies, or broken pipe, so the fix lasts.
- Advise on prevention. We explain what not to put down each drain and how often a line in your home should be checked.
When you call, tell us what you see, hear, or smell. If you are unsure whether it is an emergency, call anyway. We would rather you ask than wait while water spreads.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will drain cleaner from the store fix it?
It can clear a light clog, but strong chemicals can damage older pipes and rarely clear grease or roots fully. If the drain is still slow after one try, stop and call us.
What is hydro jetting?
High-pressure water scours the inside of a pipe, clearing grease, scale, and build-up that a cable leaves behind. It is a good choice for kitchen lines and repeat clogs.
Why does my drain keep clogging?
The blockage may be only partly cleared, or the pipe itself may have roots, a belly, or a break. A camera inspection finds the real cause.
Is a gurgling drain serious?
Gurgling often means air is trapped by a partial blockage or a vent problem. It is worth a look before it becomes a full backup.
How can I stop kitchen clogs?
Keep grease out of the sink, scrape plates into the bin, and run cold water while the disposal runs. A strainer in the sink catches most of the rest.
