Trusted Drain Cleaning Services in Oshawa, ON

Last week we reviewed the benefits of a camera plumbing inspection. Not all plumbing issues require using a camera for an inspection, so at what point is this method recommended? Slow Drains - More than one drain in your home backing up is a red flag there might be a clog in the sewer line. Backed Up Sewage - If sewage backs up from a single drain, the problem is likely in that specific drain. If sewage backs up each time a toilet or faucet is used, the problem could be deeper in the sewer line. Foul Smells - If there is an odour of sewage in the home, there could be a crack in the sewer line. If the foul, musty smell of mold is present, it could indicate a leak as mold needs moisture to grow. Unusual Water Bills - If your water bill is higher than normal and there's no reason for it (ie. sprinkler use, pool filled, etc), the cause could be a hidden leak. Leaks can be small, but a camera inspection will be able to detect its source accurately and quickly. Rodents and Insects - If you have a rat or cockroach problem, there might be a crack somewhere in the sewer line. If you suspect a crack, it’s crucial to seal it is soon as possible, as these pests can squeeze through the smallest of gaps. Thick Patch of Grass - An unusual patch of extra thick and green grass on your lawn may indicate a leak in the sewer line or septic tank, as vegetation thrives on raw sewage. Pooling water in the yard can also indicate a sewer line leak.
