Drain Snaking Toronto

Anta Plumbing and Drain delivers a high level of expertise in conjunction with the latest equipment to provide solutions and recommendations for all types of drain problems.

Kitchen Drain Snaking for a Blocked Sink

While the plunger is a 10-minute solution, expect the snake to take 20 to 30 minutes. You’ll have to remove the kitchen drain or the P-trap under the sink first, then push the snake firmly down the drain, spinning it around corners and through clogs. The corkscrew tip grabs obstructions so you can pull them out. Anta’s master plumbers use a special kitchen snake that doesn’t require the P-trap to be removed. We can work it through your kitchen drain and deliver more long-lasting results.

Drain Snaking to Unclog Pipes

A drain snake, a long cable used to unclog drains, is also called a plumbing snake or drain auger. There are several different types of plumbing snakes for home and commercial use, as well as several types of bits that can be attached to the snake cable. Our technicians receive extensive training to use the bits and cables that are best suited for each application and every situation.

Anta Plumbing uses large motor-powered snakes with various sizes of cables. These types of machines can be dangerous if not treated with respect and handled by trained personnel.

Drain Cleaning & Maintenance Tips

Run hot water down your drain for about 30 seconds once a week to help clear the drain before any blockagecan build up.
In bathroom sink or tub drains, be sure to block/cover the overflow opening before you try plunging.
Keep the garbage disposal under your kitchen sink clean by not using it as a trash can. Don’t put potato skins, meat bones or broken glass down the garbage disposal.
Commercialdrain cleaners are caustic—they often contain lye, which can burn your skin or eyes. They are best avoided, but if you decide to use one, never try to plunge a drain afterward.
Some commercial products use compressed air to force blockages out of drainpipes. A blast of compressed air could damage your pipes, so it’s best to avoid these.

Cleanout

A blocked drain pipe often becomes a costly and destructive problem for building owners. Partially blocked pipes cause sinks, basins, toilets and tubs to drain slowly. Totally blocked pipes usually result in sewage backing up through floor drains or fixtures, often causing property damage and health hazards. “Cleanouts” of an approved design and size must be strategically located throughout the drainage system to make clearing blockages easier.

Anta Plumbing not only clears blocked drains but also installs cleanouts to help prevent frequent drain blockages.

Off-grade pipe (leveling problem)

Hydro Jetting

Residential and Commercial Drain Cleaning

Hydro jetting is a process that uses high-speed / high-pressure water to clear blockages in pipe systems and is typically the first approach to clearing blocked lines. Barring the possibility of a collapsed line, hydro jetting will solve the problem. Then, all you need is routine maintenance to keep the lines clear and functioning properly.

Do-It-Yourself Tip

You can try to remove a blockage by using a plunger, which is the simplest way to clear a clogged drain without disconnecting any pipes. The idea is to break up the clog and force it on down the drain. We recommend that you wear rubber gloves.
