Stubborn clogs in your drains? Let ViaDrain take care of it!

Certain substances and objects can create stubborn clogs in your shower, toilet or sink drains. You may want to call a specialist in Montreal to perform a drain cleaning job. ViaDrain’s Montreal experts have the tools to identify your problem and solve it quickly.

Why do drains get clogged?

Even well-maintained drains get clogged from time to time. People regularly pour grease, soap and hair down their drains, and all of these residues cling to the edges of the pipes, mix with the grease and soap in the pipes and create blockages. One of the best ways to avoid clogs is to make sure you don’t dump the wrong substances and objects down your drains.

Avoid throwing away the following items:

  • Cleaning wipes
  • Dental floss
  • Paint
  • Drugs
  • Paper towels
  • Condoms
  • Feminine hygiene products
  • Cotton pads
  • Make-up remover wipes
  • Greases and oils

Ensure that only human waste and toilet paper are flushed down your toilet. Toilets can clog quite easily, especially if you have an older plumbing system.

How much does it cost to clean a drain?

The cost of cleaning varies depending on the location and severity of the problem. For example, a drain under the kitchen sink is easily accessible and can probably be resolved in less than two hours. The faster a job can be done, the cheaper it will be. However, some connections are more complicated to unblock.

For example, if several of your drains have the same slow drainage problem, you probably have a problem with your main sewer line. If your main sewer line is blocked, you will need professional help. A variety of problems can cause sewer line blockages, but one of the most difficult to solve is tree roots. Tree roots are incredibly powerful and do their best to seek nutrients from all nearby sources, including your plumbing. If tree roots are blocking your sewer main, not only do the roots need to be removed, but your sewer line may need to be replaced, making the repair much more expensive.

How often should a sewer be cleaned?

Routine cleaning of your sewer line can help keep it running longer. On average, you should aim to have your sewer lines cleaned every 18 to 22 months.

Regular cleaning of your sewer lines prevents grease and sludge from accumulating in your pipes. It can also help you anticipate any plumbing repairs you may need in the future. For example, if a professional is cleaning your sewer lines, they may notice that tree roots are beginning to enter your drains.

Alternatively, if you have cast iron pipes, your expert may see the beginnings of corrosion, which means you’ll know in advance that your pipes will soon need to be replaced.
