Sterling Plumbing & Gas provides drain cleaning in Calgary, including: We serve residential homes and row townhomes only.
Pricing depends on the location and severity of the clog, whether one fixture is affected, or your main sewer line is involved. Simple clogs typically cost less, while deeper blockages may require tools like a camera inspection or hydro jetting.
Sterling Plumbing & Gas gives you a clear, upfront price before any work begins, so you always know what to expect.
Light buildup in a sink or shower may respond to plunging or removing hair or debris from the drain. But if you’re seeing slow drains throughout the home, recurring clogs, sewer smell, or any type of backup, a DIY fix often makes the problem worse. Professional cleaning prevents further damage and restores proper flow safely.
Snaking breaks through simple blockages close to the drain. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clear grease, sludge, and tree roots deeper in the line. We inspect your drain first, then explain which method is safest and most effective for your home.
Yes, when used correctly. Before jetting, we perform a camera inspection to check the pipe condition. If your home has brittle, damaged, or partially collapsed lines, we’ll recommend a safer alternative. Our goal is to fix the problem, not force a treatment that could cause damage.
Most appointments are scheduled with a one-hour arrival window. If you’re dealing with urgent sewer backup, basement drain overflow, or water pooling, we prioritize your call and get to you as quickly as our schedule allows.
You may need a camera inspection or deeper cleaning if you notice:
• sewer smell
• gurgling pipes
• multiple drains clogging at once
• water backing up in the basement
• slow drains returning within days or weeks
These symptoms often point to an issue in the main sewer line.
A drain camera lets us see exactly what’s happening inside your line, including root intrusion, broken pipe sections, heavy grease buildup, or foreign objects. This removes guesswork, gives you proof of the issue, and helps us select the right repair option.
We serve NW Calgary, West Calgary, and select SW and City Centre neighborhoods, including Tuscany, Arbour Lake, Scenic Acres, Royal Oak, Rocky Ridge, West Springs, Cougar Ridge, Coach Hill, and Aspen Woods.
In most homes, properly installed and properly used drains should not require routine cleaning every year. If you’re needing professional drain clearing every 6–12 months, there is likely an underlying issue such as pipe buildup, improper slope, root intrusion, or a damaged sewer line.
Rather than repeatedly clearing the same blockage, we recommend a camera inspection to identify the root cause and provide a long-term solution. Our goal is to fix the problem properly — not just temporarily open the line.
Our technicians can also recommend a maintenance plan based on your property’s age and plumbing condition.
Yes. We handle kitchen, bathroom, floor, laundry, and basement drains, along with full sewer line cleaning. We do not service high-rise condos or commercial buildings.
