📲 [Book Online] or call us at (587) 952-7615 — we’re ready to help.


💬 Do you warranty your drain cleaning services?

Yes — and unlike most companies, we offer multiple warranty options depending on the type of clog, drain condition, and service performed.

Coverage can range from 14 days up to 5 years — you choose the level that fits your needs and budget.
We’ll always explain what’s covered before you commit — no pressure, no confusion.

💬 Do you include a camera inspection?

Yes — wherever possible, we include a free drain camera inspection with your cleaning.
This helps us confirm the issue, document the condition of your pipes, and give you honest, accurate recommendations.


💬 How much does drain cleaning cost in Calgary?

Every home and clog is a little different — and so is the fix.
Most drain cleanings range from $285 to $4,000+, depending on how deep the problem goes and which tools are needed (from snaking to hydro-jetting).

💬 What Causes Drain Clogs In Calgary Homes?

 

Clogs can come from a lot more than just “gunk” — and the cause often depends on the room, usage, pipe material, and installation quality.

Here’s what we typically find:

🧼 Kitchen sinks

  • Grease buildup is the #1 culprit — never pour oil or fat down the drain.
     
  • If you're using a garburator, always use cold water, not hot.
     Hot water melts grease temporarily, but it re-solidifies downstream into a paste that clogs your pipes.

     
  • Avoid chemical drain cleaners — especially if the clog is past the P-trap. They can damage your pipes and rarely solve deeper issues.
     

🚿 Shower drains

  • Most are clogged by hair and soap scum buildup.
     
  • If the drain is slow every few months, it could be a sign of buildup in older or improperly sloped pipes.
     

🏠 Older homes

  • If your home has cast iron or galvanized steel pipes, these materials rust from the inside out.
     
  • That corrosion creates rough, jagged edges inside the pipe — perfect for catching hair, grease, and debris.
     

🧰 Improper installations

  • Sometimes we find drains that were installed with the wrong slope or fittings, which makes clogs far more frequent.
     

🌳 Main sewer line clogs

These can be caused by serious underlying problems like:

  • Tree roots intruding into the pipe
     
  • Collapsed or sagging sewer lines
     
  • Trenchless utility installs (new fiber or internet lines) that accidentally bore right through your existing sewer line
