Complete Blocked Sewers & Drain Cleaning in Gatineau

Blocked drains and clogged sewers are among the most common—and most frustrating—plumbing problems homeowners face. From slow-draining sinks to complete sewer backups, Plombier Gatineau has the equipment and expertise to clear any blockage and restore proper flow to your plumbing system.

We use professional-grade equipment including motorized drain snakes, hydro-jetting systems, and video camera inspection to diagnose and clear even the toughest blockages. Whether the problem is grease buildup in your kitchen drain, tree roots invading your sewer line, or years of accumulated debris, we have the right tools and techniques to solve it permanently—not just temporarily push the clog further down the line.

Drain & Sewer Problems We Solve

Our licensed plumbers have the experience and equipment to handle:

  • Slow Drains — Water that takes forever to drain indicates partial blockages that will only get worse. Early clearing prevents complete clogs.
  • Complete Blockages — When water won't drain at all, you need professional equipment to clear the obstruction safely.
  • Multiple Clogged Drains — When several fixtures back up simultaneously, the problem is likely in your main sewer line.
  • Sewage Backup — The most serious drainage problem—raw sewage coming up through drains requires immediate professional service.
  • Tree Root Invasion — Roots seeking moisture infiltrate sewer lines through small cracks, causing major blockages over time.
  • Recurring Clogs — Clogs that keep coming back indicate underlying problems like pipe damage or improper slope that need permanent solutions.

Our Drain Clearing Process

Here's what to expect when you call us:

  1. Diagnosis First — We determine the location and cause of the blockage before recommending treatment.
  2. Camera Inspection — For stubborn or recurring clogs, we use video cameras to see exactly what's happening inside your pipes.
  3. Appropriate Method — We select the right clearing method—snaking, hydro-jetting, or other techniques—based on the blockage type.
  4. Complete Clearing — We don't just poke a hole through the clog. We clear the full diameter of the pipe for lasting results.
  5. Flow Verification — After clearing, we test all affected drains to confirm proper flow is restored.
  6. Prevention Advice — We explain what caused the blockage and how to prevent future problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Drain cleaning costs vary based on the location and severity of the blockage. Simple sink clogs are less expensive than main sewer line blockages. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work — no surprises. Contact us for a free estimate specific to your situation.

We don't recommend chemical drain cleaners. They can damage pipes (especially older ones), are harmful to the environment, and often don't fully clear blockages. They may temporarily improve flow while leaving the underlying problem. Professional cleaning is safer and more effective.

For most homes, professional drain cleaning every 1-2 years helps prevent major blockages. However, if you have older pipes, large trees near sewer lines, or frequently experience slow drains, more frequent cleaning may be beneficial. We can recommend a maintenance schedule based on your specific situation.

Snaking uses a flexible cable to break through blockages and is effective for most clogs. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to not only clear blockages but also scrub the pipe walls clean, removing grease buildup and scale. Hydro jetting is more thorough but costs more. We'll recommend the best option for your situation.

Prevention tips: use drain screens to catch hair and debris, never pour grease down drains (dispose in trash), run hot water after each use, avoid flushing anything except toilet paper, and consider monthly enzyme treatments for maintenance. Regular professional cleaning also helps prevent major blockages.
