Drain Cleaning Services in Toronto
A slow sink or a backed-up floor drain is more than an inconvenience. Grease, hair, soap scum, wipes, scale and tree roots build up inside pipes until water has nowhere to go, and in older Toronto homes with cast iron and clay sewer lines a small clog can quickly turn into a basement backup.
POM Plumbing provides same-day and 24/7 drain cleaning across Toronto and the GTA. We find the cause, clear the line with the right method, show you camera footage when it matters, and give you a written price before any work starts. No harsh chemicals, no guesswork.

Call (905) 625-8777Drain Snaking vs Hydro Jetting
The right method depends on what is in the pipe and where. We usually start with the least invasive option and use a camera to decide whether more is needed.
| Drain snaking | Hydro jetting | |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | Rotating cable cuts through the clog | High-pressure water scours the full pipe wall |
| Best for | Single clogs, hair, toilets, objects | Grease, scale, sludge, roots, repeat clogs |
| Result | Opens a path through the blockage | Cleans the pipe close to its original diameter |
| Lasts | Until build-up returns | Usually much longer |
| Typical use | First visit, fixture drains | Main lines, kitchens, commercial |
What Clogs Toronto Drains
01
Tree Roots
Roots enter older clay and cast iron sewer joints, especially on tree-lined streets in older neighbourhoods.
02
Grease & Food
Fats harden in kitchen lines and condo stacks and trap food waste.
03
Wipes & Paper
“Flushable” wipes do not break down and snag in the main line.
04
Scale & Corrosion
Old cast iron pipes rust inside and narrow over decades.
How a Drain Cleaning Visit Works
- Call or book. Tell us which drains are affected and when it started.
- Diagnose. We test fixtures and find the location of the clog.
- Price first. You approve a written price before work starts.
- Clear the drain. Snaking or jetting, with camera inspection for main lines.
- Test and clean up. We run water through every affected fixture and leave the area clean.
When Cleaning Is Not Enough
If the same drain keeps clogging, the pipe itself may be damaged: a sagging section, a crack, a collapsed clay joint or roots that come back every year. A camera inspection shows the exact problem and depth, so you can decide between regular maintenance, drain repair or sewer line replacement. A backwater valve can protect the basement from city sewer backups.
Drain clogged or backing up? Call now.

Drain Cleaning FAQ
-
How much does drain cleaning cost in Toronto?
A single sink or tub usually costs $180 to $350. A main drain through the cleanout is typically $250 to $600, and hydro jetting $450 to $1,400.
-
How fast can you come?
We offer same-day service for most calls and 24/7 emergency response for backups.
-
Should I try a chemical drain cleaner first?
We don’t recommend it. Chemical cleaners rarely clear real clogs, can damage older pipes and make the job dangerous for the plumber.
-
What is the difference between drain snaking and hydro jetting?
Snaking punches a hole through the clog with a cable. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clean the entire pipe wall and lasts longer.
-
Why does my drain keep clogging?
Repeat clogs usually mean grease or scale build-up, roots or a damaged pipe. A camera inspection shows the cause.
-
How often should drains be cleaned?
Most homes don’t need routine cleaning. Homes with roots or older sewer lines benefit from main line cleaning every one to two years.
-
Do you clean the main sewer line?
Yes. We clear the main line through the cleanout or a toilet and can camera-inspect it afterwards.
-
Can tree roots be cleaned out?
Yes, roots can be cut and flushed out, but they grow back. Long-term fixes are relining or replacing the damaged section.
-
Is a camera inspection included?
A camera inspection is recommended for main lines and repeat clogs and can be added to the cleaning visit.
-
Will drain cleaning damage my pipes?
No. We choose the cable size or jetting pressure for the pipe material and condition.
-
Do you clean commercial drains?
Yes. We clean restaurant, condo and commercial drains, kitchen stacks and grease lines.
-
What should I do while I wait for you?
Stop using water in the house, don’t flush toilets and keep people away from any sewage.
