Professional Newmarket Drain Cleaning Services

Drain issues can pop up anytime, no matter if you are at home or running a business. But most of them start from the same few causes. If you know what to watch out for, you can stop clogs before they become a bigger mess. Here are the top reasons drains often get blocked in Newmarket:

1. Hair Accumulation in Drains

Hair is a common problem, especially in bathroom sinks and showers. It collects easily and sticks to soap and dirt, forming thick clumps. These slow down water flow over time. A simple drain screen can catch most of it and save you from trouble.

2. Grease in The Kitchen Sink

Pouring oil or grease down the sink seems harmless, but it’s not. Once cooled, grease sticks to the pipes and traps food scraps. That sticky mix turns into a solid clog. Instead, let the grease cool in a container and toss it in the bin.

3. Soap and Hard Water Reaction

Regular bar soap can react with hard water and form a chalky layer inside the pipes. This layer keeps growing and reduces flow. Liquid soap or a water softener can help reduce this problem.

4. Food Waste Buildup

Leftover food bits like coffee grounds, rice, or eggshells should never go down the drain. These items swell, don’t break down, and stick to pipe walls. In that case, always scrape off food into the trash before rinsing plates.

5. Flushing The Wrong Items

Toilets can only handle human waste and toilet paper. Wipes, sanitary pads, and paper towels don’t break down easily. They build up in the pipe bends and cause serious blockages. A small mistake can lead to a big plumbing bill.

6. Mineral Deposits

Hard water in Newmarket means more minerals like calcium in your water. These minerals build up on pipe walls over time and leave less room for water to flow. Using a water softener can cut down on this buildup.

7. Tree Roots in Pipes

Tree roots grow toward water. If there is a crack in your underground pipe, they’ll find it. Once inside, they grow fast and catch anything passing through. Slow drains and repeated clogs could be a sign of root damage.

8. Small Items Stuck in the Drain

Things like bottle caps, earrings, or toys can block a drain fast. Once stuck in a pipe bend, they trap other debris and cause full blockages. A simple drain cover can keep this from happening.

9. Old or Damaged Pipes

Older homes often have weaker pipes made from clay or metal. Over time, these can crack, collapse, or shift underground. If you keep getting clogs even after cleaning, your pipe might be damaged. A camera inspection can confirm it.

10. Too Much Toilet Paper

Toilet paper is flushable, but only in small amounts. Using too much at once can clog the toilet, especially in homes with older plumbing. Flush in stages if needed to keep the flow smooth.

When your drains don’t work well, you need a fix right away. At TrustFlow, we clear blockages the right way by using the best tools and methods that won’t damage your pipes. Here is how we take care of the problem from start to finish:

1. Drain Inspection

We inspect the drain using a small camera that slides through your pipes. This lets us see exactly where the issue is, is it’s a tree root or a stuck item. It helps us act fast and avoid unnecessary digging or damage.

2. Drain Snaking

We don’t guess. First, we inspect the drain using a small camera that slides through your pipes. This lets us see exactly where the issue is, no matter if it’s a chunk of grease, a tree root, or a stuck item. It helps us act fast and avoid unnecessary digging or damage.

3. Hydro Jetting

When the blockage is heavy or stuck hard to the pipe walls, we bring out the hydro jet. This tool sends high-pressure water down the line. It clears grease, roots, and hard buildup, and also washes the pipe walls clean. It’s a deep clean that leaves your drains in great shape.

4. Preventive Maintenance

Drains need care too. We offer routine cleaning to stop clogs before they start. This is a smart move for older homes and places like restaurants where drains work overtime. A yearly check can help you avoid surprise blockages and big repair bills.

5. Repair and Replacement Solutions 

If the issue goes beyond a clog, like a cracked or collapsed pipe, we will spot it during the inspection. In that case, we explain what’s wrong and walk you through your options. Some pipes can be relined without digging. Others may need full replacement. Either way, we make sure you understand the process before we move forward.

It’s easy to forget about your drains until they stop working. But waiting for a problem can cost you more in the long run. Regular drain cleaning is a simple step that protects your property and saves you from future stress. Here is why it matters:

• Prevents costly repairs – What starts as a small clog can turn into a serious mess. Backups, leaks, or even a broken pipe can all come from ignoring early signs. Cleaning your drains regularly keeps problems from building up.
• Improves drainage speed – Clear drains mean smooth water flow. If your sinks, tubs, or showers drain slowly, it’s usually a sign of buildup. A clean pipe makes a big difference in daily use.
• Eliminates bad odors – Grease, food, and other gunk sitting in your pipes can stink over time. That smell comes from bacteria growing inside the drain. Regular cleaning clears the waste and keeps your kitchen or bathroom smelling clean. 
• Reduces the risk of water damage – Blocked pipes can overflow or leak, which often leads to water damage on your floors, walls, or under sinks. Regular cleaning lowers the chance of those surprise leaks.
• Keeps your plumbing system healthy – Clogged drains add pressure to your plumbing system. That pressure can wear out pipes faster. Keeping them clean helps your plumbing last longer without cracks, rust, or major repairs.

Blocked drains can cause big trouble fast. If you ignore them, they can lead to flooding, water damage, or even health issues. That’s why we offer 24/7 emergency drain cleaning across Newmarket.

A clean drain helps your plumbing run smoothly. With a few simple habits, you can avoid clogs and expensive repairs. Here is how to take care of your drains at home.

• Scrap food before washing – Don’t let food scraps go down the kitchen sink. Always scrape your plate into the trash before rinsing it. Even small bits can pile up and block the pipes.
• Never pour grease down the drain– Used cooking oil or grease might seem harmless when hot, but it hardens as it cools. That sticky mess grabs food bits and creates nasty clogs. Pour it into a container, let it solidify, and toss it in the garbage.
• Install drain screens –  Use simple mesh screens in your sinks, showers, and tubs. These catch hair, soap bits, and food pieces before they slide into your drain. Empty them often to keep water flowing.
• Flush drains with hot water – Pour hot water down your drains once a week.  It helps loosen grease and clears minor buildup along the pipe walls. This small habit can go a long way.
• Watch what you flush – Toilets are made for waste and toilet paper. Avoid flushing wipes, cotton balls, or paper towels. These don’t break down and can block the sewer line.
• Clean shower drains often – Hair and soap scum build up fast in bathroom drains. Pull out visible hair and give the drain a good rinse every few days. It keeps everything moving smoothly.
• Book routine cleaning – Book a professional drain cleaning once a year. It helps catch hidden buildup and keeps your system working well. It’s a smart way to prevent surprise plumbing problems.
