Drain Cleaning in Ajax

Water that pools in the sink or backs up into a floor drain is your pipe telling you something is stuck. Grease, hair, soap, and roots build up over time until water has nowhere to go. We clear it at the source so your drains run like they should, usually the same day.

We cover Ajax end to end, from Pickering Village to the lakeside homes in Duffins Bay. Basic snaking starts at $99. Most drain jobs run $250 to $350, with a flat price up front so there are no surprises.

Tell us which drains are slow or blocked and we inspect the line to find the cause. We snake or hydro-jet the clog, test the flow, and confirm it runs clear before we go. If more than one drain backs up at once, that points to the main line, and we handle that too.

Ajax sits right on Lake Ontario, and the homes near the water carry their own drainage worries. In low-lying spots around Duffins Bay, a backed-up floor drain or a struggling basement line often shows up alongside sump and groundwater issues, so we look at the whole picture instead of just one clog. Older streets in Pickering Village deal with aging pipe and root intrusion, while newer Southwood and Riverside builds usually clog from kitchen grease and everyday buildup.

You get a clean job, no mess left behind, and a price agreed before we open anything up.

Drain Cleaning in Ajax: What to Expect

When we clear a drain in Ajax, step one is locating the blockage and figuring out why it happened. We snake the line to cut through hair, grease, or roots, then run water to confirm it flows clean. Snaking starts from $99, and most jobs come in around $250 to $350 based on depth and difficulty. For drains that clog again and again, we send a camera down to spot cracks, sags, or root intrusion so we fix the cause, not just the symptom.

Ajax sits near Duffins Bay, and homes lower toward the lake can have slower drainage and heavier root pressure on older lines. That can turn a routine snake into a bigger job. The type of clog and its depth drive the final number. Here is the tip. Put a mesh screen over your shower and tub drains to catch hair before it goes down. Hair is the number one repeat clog we pull out of bathroom lines, and a two dollar screen stops most of it.
