What Is Drain Snaking?

Drain snaking uses a flexible metal cable (or auger) to break apart clogs and clear blockages inside your drainpipes. It’s one of the most effective and safest methods to remove:
  • Hair, grease, and soap scum buildup
  • Food waste and organic debris
  • Tree roots infiltrating older sewer lines
  • Flushed items and foreign objects
The process works by feeding the cable into the pipe and manually or mechanically rotating it to dislodge the blockage. Once the obstruction is removed, normal water flow is restored, and the risk of backups or flooding is minimized.

Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning

Not all clogs start with a major backup—many show early warning signs. If you’re seeing any of the following, it’s time to book a professional drain cleaning service:

  • Slow draining sinks or tubs: May indicate buildup or narrowing in the drain.

  • Recurring clogs: If you’re snaking the same drain every month, it’s time to call a pro.

  • Multiple backed-up fixtures: Suggests a blockage in your main sewer line.

  • Sewage odours: Could be a venting issue or a clog causing wastewater to stagnate.

  • Water pooling around basement drains: A clear indicator of poor drainage or backups.

These issues won’t go away on their own. Our licensed technicians can diagnose the problem and clear it efficiently before it causes serious damage.

Drain Snaking vs. Hydro Jetting

You may wonder which solution is best for your issue. Here’s a quick comparison:

Drain Snaking

  • Effective for most household clogs

  • Can break apart tree roots

  • Minimally invasive

  • Affordable and fast

Hydro Jetting

  • High-pressure water cleans entire pipe walls

  • Ideal for grease, sludge, and mineral scale

  • Often used in restaurants and commercial settings

  • More preventive than reactive

Not sure what you need? We offer free on-site evaluations to determine the best solution for your drainage problem.

Common Causes of Drain Clogs

Understanding what causes blockages can help prevent them in the future. Our team often finds the following culprits:

  • Grease and fat: Hardens inside pipes, especially in kitchen drains

  • Hair and soap scum: Builds up in showers and bathroom sinks

  • Tree roots: Enter older clay or damaged pipes through cracks

  • Foreign objects: Toys, feminine hygiene products, and wipes that don’t break down

  • Improper sloping: Can cause debris to settle instead of flow

We’ll provide tips and recommendations to reduce the likelihood of these issues returning.

FAQ

How long does drain snaking take?

Most jobs take under an hour. Heavier blockages or homes with older plumbing may require more time.

Is drain snaking safe for old pipes?
Yes. We use flexible augers appropriate for the material and size of your drainpipes. If your pipes are brittle or fragile, we’ll inspect before starting.
What’s the difference between drain snaking and chemical cleaners?
Snaking physically removes the blockage. Chemical cleaners can damage pipes, especially older ones, and are often only a temporary fix.
What if snaking doesn’t work?
If snaking doesn’t resolve the issue, we may recommend a camera inspection to investigate further or use hydro jetting for stubborn buildup.
Do you service condos and apartment buildings?
Yes, we work with property managers across the GTA to service shared stacks and main lines.
Can I get a quote over the phone?
Yes, we offer preliminary pricing by phone. For complex issues, we may need to visit the site to provide an accurate quote.

Great experience with MT Drains & Plumbing in Barrie for our basement waterproofing project. Pavel was knowledgeable, straightforward, and easy to deal with, and the office team was responsive and organized throughout the process. Fair pricing, quality workmanship, and the job was completed professionally. Would definitely recommend MT Drains & Plumbing for basement waterproofing and drainage work.
VIACHESLAV O.
I would like to sincerely thank MT Drain Plumbing for the excellent work they did. The entire team was professional, punctual, courteous, and very respectful throughout the process. Everything was well organized and completed on time. I especially appreciated how carefully they protected the surrounding areas and contained everything to prevent dirt, debris, or other materials from getting where they shouldn’t. The work was completed quickly, efficiently, and to a very high standard. I was also pleasantly surprised by the price — it was significantly lower than the quotes I received from other companies, which made the experience even better. I would also like to mention that the team members who came out to assess and discuss the work with me were extremely polite, professional, and punctual. I highly recommend MT Drain Plumbing to anyone dealing with waterproofing issues, drainage problems, or water management around their home. If you’re looking for a company that provides quality work, fair pricing, and excellent customer service, I definitely recommend giving these guys a call. Thank you again to the entire MT Drain Plumbing team for a job very well done!

Update on August 24 2026: We needed to replace a shower cartridge and it turned out that we also needed to replace our main house water supply shut off valve before the shower job could be done. Olga in the office was very helpful in scheduling the job as well as in dealing with our municipality who needed to be involved as well. When Denis the technician arrived to do the job - early, which I always appreciate! - he assessed the job & dealt with the municipality further to expedite the job. It also turned out that the shower cartridge was badly corroded & required Denis' expert work & his experience to remove it without damaging the fixture. (This is a job the internet says you can do yourself, but when the cartridge is very old & corroded as this was, a professional is required!) He then easily installed the new cartridge. As usual, I was impressed by the professionalism and pleasantness of MT Drains' staff, both in the office & in the field. Update on Dec 17 2024: A toilet in our house came away from the floor in a way that broke the flange it was bolted to. I called MT Drains because they had done a fine repair job in our kitchen a few months earlier (see below). Viktoriya in the office was very friendly & helpful in getting us a cost estimate in a timely fashion and setting up an appointment to fix the problem that fit our schedules. We received email confirmation and reminder of the appointment, and a text confirmation on the morning of the appointment itself. The technician, Amir, arrived a few minutes before the start of the window for the appointment, which I always appreciate a lot! He was friendly, polite and professional. He assessed the repair requirements, confirmed the estimate, and completed the job in a timely manner. Amir also cleaned up everything and even took the garbage away with him. Viktoriya followed up shortly thereafter by phone to check that we were pleased with the job, and then sent the invoice to me for the agreed amount. She also confirmed that they received our payment right away. I’ve used MT Drains’ services for plumbing issues before and will happily use them again! The drain from our kitchen sink was leaking near the place where it attached to the sink itself. The reason turned out to be corrosion that was rotting away the place where the drain pipes attach to the sink. Pavel from MT Drains responded to my Trusted Pros posting within minutes, and was able to have a plumber come that very day. Dima arrived within the agreed time frame. He was polite, friendly, efficient and very skilled at diagnosing the problem and making the repair by replacing the corroded parts. He also cleaned up after his work. Viktoriya in the office was also very helpful and professional - the entire operation was fast, efficient, effective, friendly and professional. I will definitely call on MT Drains for any future plumbing needs.

I recently had MT Drains & Plumbing Ltd replace the trench drain grate in my driveway, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Pavel and his team were professional, punctual, and highly skilled. The original grate was rusted and had become a safety hazard, but MT Drains provided a seamless replacement that looks fantastic and is incredibly durable. They handled the removal of the old grate and the installation of the new one with great care, ensuring that everything was level and properly secured. It is clear they take pride in their workmanship, as the site was left spotless upon completion. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable plumbing or drain services.

Amazing service
Ken J.
Our upstairs toilet was not working properly. I called MT Drains & Plumbing and Rene came the same day. He checked out the toilet and found it was not working properly due to age and deterioration of the jets. I asked him if he could supply a replacement toilet. Rene ordered a new toilet and installed it first thing next morning. The new one is working better than the old one ever did. Rene was pleasant to deal with and knew what he was doing. We will use MT Drains in the future.
Marie S.
I recommend them highly as I will always use their services. Fast and efficient work. Very prompt and courteous. Congratulations!
