Our drain services in Toronto/GTA include:

Drain snaking

A classic method for handling clogged drains in sinks, toilets, and tubs. Our drain technicians use high-quality drain snaking equipment to break through obstructions and restore proper flow.

Hydro jetting

Hydro jetting

This high-pressure technique blasts away years of grease and sludge. It's a safe and effective solution for commercial plumbing needs and older Toronto homes with fragile sewer pipes.

Drain camera inspections

Before we dig or cut, we inspect. Our advanced drain camera inspection equipment helps locate blocked drains, collapsed pipes, or accumulated debris deep within your drain lines and drainage system.

Drain pipe repairs or replacements

Sometimes cleaning isn’t enough. We offer reliable drain repair services when your pipes are damaged, deteriorated, or beyond a simple fix. Our pipe repairs prevent further issues like basement flooding or pipe damage.

Emergency drain cleaning

Emergency drain cleaning (24/7)

We provide emergency plumbing services for blocked drains, flooding, or sewage backups. Anytime, day or night.

Signs it’s time to call a plumbing pro

Water Draining Slowly in Sinks or Tubs

This is often caused by a buildup of grease, hair, or soap scum deep in your drain pipes. These clogs won’t disappear on their own.

Gurgling Sounds or Bad Odours

Odd sounds or unpleasant odours can be early signs of a partially blocked drain or sewer line.

Recurring or Multiple Drain Backups

If multiple areas of your home or business experience slow drainage, your main drainage system may be compromised.

Water Pooling Around Floor Drains

Pooled water in basements or near floor drains can indicate a blocked main drain or even pipe damage that needs immediate attention.

Do You Qualify for a City Rebate?

Toronto and surrounding cities may offer rebates when you upgrade or maintain your drainage system. Our team can check if your repair or installation qualifies and guide you through the paperwork.

Had good experience with the company and the plumber Michael. This morning found a leak from the tailpiece of the bathroom sink drain, then called. He came in on the same day and on time. He's friendly and provided 3 months warranty. He deserves a good review, so I'm writing now.

We had the worst problem and they solved it in 2 days. Our 75 year old house had plugged sewer pipes inside and out. Tree roots had grown into the cracked clay pipes and the entire system had to be replaced.
They opened the basement floor and replace all with new pvc pipes.
Then they dug a 9 foot deep hole at the connection to the street line.
The most amazing part was the fabrication of a 50 foot section of pipe that was pulled into the hole and through to old clay pipe to connect to the house.
Excellent work.

We had an emergency just before a big family dinner. Our kitchen sinks were backed up. Oleg came early in the morning to fix it. He was fantastic, and was able to diagnose and solve the problem quickly. He deserves more than 5 stars!

Mark Marek, did a fantastic job clearing our clogged kitchen drain. It was not easy, he had to snake over 20 feet but did it patiently and got the job done

Thanks Mark

I recently hired Drain Rescue Burlington for a plumbing issue at my home, and I was very pleased with the entire experience. From the initial phone call to the completion of the job, Marek was responsive, professional, and courteous.
Marek arrived on time, clearly explained the problem, and provided a fair estimate before beginning the work. Marek handled the repair efficiently and made sure everything was working properly before leaving. I also appreciated how they cleaned up after the job—no mess left behind.
What stood out most was their honesty and transparency. There were no surprise charges, and they took the time to answer all my questions without rushing.
Overall, I would highly recommend Drain Rescue, Burlington Marek to anyone in need of reliable and trustworthy plumbing services. It’s great to find a company that values both quality work and great customer service.

The congregation at Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church would like to thank the wonderful people at Drain Rescue Plumbing for helping us with our basement flooding issue. The team lead, Roman, was very thoughtful and patient, taking the time to explain the process in a clear and easy-to-understand way for us laymen. Jacob, the technician, and his team worked diligently to locate the problem area, provided a detailed explanation of the cause, and successfully cleared the blockage to relieve the system and help prevent future water issues in our parish basement.

We highly recommend their services and again thank them for their help. God bless.

It was 3:30 Saturday afternoon on a holiday weekend (Thanksgiving) when we called Drain Rescue because out Kitchen sink was blocked. Before 6:00 (less than 21/2 hours later) Marek was on the job. He was very personalable, professional and competent.
He explained everything he was trying to do to unplug our problem. Unfortunately, after trying several attempts he was unable to clear the problem because the block was major and a long way down the piping. But amazingly Drain Rescue will have a crew 1st thing tomorrow morning with the heavy equipment needed to finish the job. The total price was very fair. We feel very lucky to have found Drain Rescue and won't hesitate to recommend or use them again !

What causes clogged drains in Toronto homes?

Over time, everyday materials like grease, food waste, soap residue, and hair build up inside your pipes. In older Toronto homes, aging infrastructure, shifting soil, and invasive tree roots only add to the risk. Outdoor drains can clog from leaves, dirt, and seasonal runoff. Without proper maintenance, these hidden issues can lead to expensive backups and even structural damage.

Regular drain maintenance can save you thousands

Ignoring a slow drain might seem harmless until the basement floods or a pipe bursts. Proper drain maintenance not only fixes current issues, but it also prevents expensive ones.

What Regular Cleaning Helps You Avoid:

  • Basement flooding from backed-up drains
  • Costly emergency plumbing repairs
  • Odours, bacteria, and standing water
  • Early pipe wear and tear
  • Poor water flow and inconsistent drainage

Why DIY drain cleaning usually makes it worse

Those hardware store fixes? They’re temporary at best and damaging at worst. Drain Rescue uses high-grade snaking and non-damaging hydro jetting, paired with camera inspections, so we fix the real issue, not just the symptom.

  • Chemical drain cleaners corrode older pipes.
  • Plungers or store-bought snakes often push the clog deeper.
  • You can’t fix what you can’t see.
Avoid the risk! Call the pros who fix it right
Stop guessing. Start fixing.

Don’t wait for a slow drain to turn into a soaked floor.
