Drain cleaning, done by hand and by machine

Most of what we do in Burlington is drain work. A kitchen sink packed with grease and coffee grounds. A shower trap wound full of hair. A toilet with a wipe lodged in the trapway. A basement floor drain that bubbles up grey water every time the washing machine pumps out. Each one is cleared a different way, and the first job is working out where the blockage sits.

For a single slow fixture we pull the P-trap into a bucket and look. Often the clog is right there. If not, a small drum auger goes through the trap arm and into the branch line in the wall. When several fixtures are slow at once, or the floor drain is backing up, the trouble is in the main, and we go in through the cleanout with a sectional machine and a root cutter. Older Burlington sewer laterals tend to be clay or cast iron, and roots work their way in at the joints.

  • Kitchen sinks: grease, rice, coffee grounds, disposer sludge
  • Showers and tubs: hair and soap scum below the flange
  • Toilets: wipes, cotton and toys in the trapway
  • Floor drains: lint, silt and roots in the main

After the clog comes out we run water through every connected fixture. Where roots or a sag are suspected, we push a camera through the line and play back the footage before suggesting anything bigger.

Burlington neighbourhoods and the pipes in them

The plumbing in a Burlington house depends mostly on when it was built. Lakeside streets and the older core still run on galvanized water pipe, cast-iron soil stacks and clay sewer laterals beneath old maples. The 1960s and 70s suburbs run on copper that is starting to pinhole. Houses from the 1980s to the mid-90s often carry grey Poly-B. The newest subdivisions north of the 407 lean on hard-working sump pumps. Here is what we tend to find, area by area.

Call before the water spreads

If water is spreading, close the main valve near the meter first. Then tell us which pipe or fixture the water comes from, whether it runs clean or grey, and roughly when the house was built.
