Drain Cleaning & Clearing
We use the right tool for each situation
Drain Snake / Auger
Professional-grade cable machines (not the flimsy hardware store versions). Flexible steel cable with cutting head rotates through pipes, breaking up clogs and pulling out debris.
Best for:
- • Most common household clogs
- • Hair and soap blockages
- • Moderate buildups
- • Up to 100 feet from access point
Equipment we use:
- • Power drain machines
- • Various diameter cables
- • Multiple cutting heads
- • Up to 100 ft reach
Hydro Jetting
High-pressure water jetting (up to 4000 PSI) scours pipe walls completely clean. The most thorough drain cleaning method available - removes grease, scale, roots, and years of buildup.
Best for:
- • Severe grease buildup
- • Tree root removal
- • Complete pipe cleaning
- • Recurring clogs
- • Restaurant drains
Advantages:
- • Cleans entire pipe diameter
- • Environmentally friendly (just water)
- • Long-lasting results
- • Prevents future clogs
Camera Inspection
Video camera inspection allows us to see exactly what's happening inside your pipes. Essential for diagnosing recurring problems, locating blockages, and assessing pipe condition.
What we can see:
- • Exact location of blockages
- • Type of clog or obstruction
- • Pipe condition and damage
- • Root intrusion points
- • Collapsed or broken sections
- • Pipe material and age
Water Pipe Replacement: Signs Your Pipes Need Replacing
Rusty or Discolored Water
Brown, red, or yellow water (especially first thing in morning) indicates severe pipe corrosion. The rust is contaminating your water supply.
Low Water Pressure
Gradual decrease in water pressure throughout the house suggests pipes are corroding and closing up internally. This only gets worse over time.
Frequent Leaks
If you're constantly patching leaks in different locations, your pipes are failing. It's time to replace the system, not keep patching.
Pipe Age
Galvanized pipes over 50 years old are living on borrowed time. Even if working now, failure is imminent. Proactive replacement prevents emergencies.
High Water Bills
Unexplained increases in water bills suggest hidden leaks in your water supply lines. Old pipes develop pinhole leaks that waste water continuously.
Water Damage Signs
Stains on ceilings or walls, musty odors, or soft spots indicate water leaking from pipes inside walls or under floors. Needs immediate investigation.
PEX vs Copper: Which Should You Choose?
| Factor | PEX | Copper |
|---|---|---|
| Material Cost | ⭐ Much lower | Significantly higher |
| Installation Time | ⭐ 30-50% faster | Slower (requires soldering) |
| Freeze Resistance | ⭐ Can expand without bursting | Bursts when frozen |
| Corrosion | ⭐ Cannot corrode | Can corrode in acidic water |
| Flexibility | ⭐ Very flexible, easy routing | Rigid, many fittings needed |
| Noise | ⭐ Quieter operation | Water hammer can be louder |
| UV Exposure | Cannot be exposed to sunlight | ⭐ Can be exposed |
| Lifespan | 50+ years expected | ⭐ 50-70+ years in good conditions |
| Best For | Most homes, cottages, renovations | Specific situations, some preferences |
💡 Our Recommendation for Most Projects:
PEX is the best choice for most Muskoka repiping projects. It's faster to install (less disruption), costs significantly less, handles freezing better (important for cottages), and performs excellently. We still install copper when requested or when specific situations require it.
