FAQs
What are the most common signs that my drain in Elora needs professional opening?
If you notice water draining slowly, gurgling sounds in the pipes, foul odours coming from the sink or floor drain, or repeated overflows, those are clear warning signs. In Elora’s older homes, tree-root intrusion and mineral buildup are also common issues that call for professional drain opening. Addressing these symptoms early prevents extensive pipe damage and costly repairs.
What techniques do Reliable Solutions Plumbing use to clear clogged drains?
We tailor the method to the problem. For minor clogs we start with high-powered augers (drain snakes). For tougher or recurring blockages we use hydro-jetting, which blasts high-pressure water through the line to remove grease, sludge, and roots. If we suspect structural problems, we perform a video camera inspection first, then decide whether mechanical cutting heads or localized pipe repair is needed.
Is it safe to pour chemical drain cleaners down my pipes before calling you?
Over-the-counter chemical cleaners can damage older copper, cast-iron, or PVC pipes commonly found in Elora homes. They generate heat that can soften or corrode pipe walls and may only clear a small hole through the blockage, causing it to recur. In addition, these chemicals can splash back during professional service, posing safety risks. We recommend avoiding them and calling us for a thorough, pipe-safe solution.
How fast can you arrive for an emergency drain opening in Elora?
Our technicians are locally based, so we aim to be at your door within 60–90 minutes for emergencies. We offer 24/7 dispatch and real-time GPS tracking, so you’ll receive text updates with the technician’s estimated arrival. Fast response prevents water damage and lets you get back to normal quickly.
Do you provide camera inspections and will I see the footage?
Yes. We use high-resolution, waterproof camera systems that travel the length of your drain line to locate breaks, root intrusion, or grease buildup. After the inspection, we show you the live or recorded footage and explain the exact cause of the clog. You’ll receive a digital copy for your records or insurance claims, along with our recommendations for repair or maintenance.
What can I do to prevent future drain blockages?
1) Install mesh strainers in sinks and tubs to catch hair and food particles. 2) Avoid pouring grease, coffee grounds, or fibrous foods down the kitchen drain. 3) Run hot water with a small amount of dish soap weekly to break up grease films. 4) Schedule an annual professional drain maintenance or hydro-jetting, particularly if you have large trees near your sewer line. 5) For households with a garbage disposal, operate it with plenty of cold water and avoid hard-to-grind items such as bones or celery. Following these practices keeps your drains free-flowing and extends the life of your plumbing system.
