Blocked drains and backed up sewer lines can be quite inconvenient and if neglected, they can lead to expensive damages. Slow and foul smelling drains or recurring clogs are signs that healing drains through professional services is a prerequisite in order to mitigate backups and avoid any additional issues.
St Pierre Plumbing and heating offer affordable, prompt, and effective drain cleaning services tailored to your property’s needs.
Why Drain & Sewer Cleaning is So Important
Your drain and sewer system handles thousands of gallons of wastewater every week. Over time, debris such as grease, food particles, soap scum, hair, and even tree roots can build up and block flow.
Ignoring these problems can lead to:
- Slow drains throughout the property
- Sewage backups into sinks, tubs, or toilets
- Foul odors and bacteria growth
- Water damage and mold
- High repair or replacement costs
Regular professional cleaning helps you avoid these issues, improves drainage, and extends the life of your plumbing system.
Our Drain & Sewer Cleaning Services
We offer a full range of cleaning solutions using advanced technology and proven methods. Here’s what we provide:
1. Clogged Drain Cleaning
From bathroom sinks to kitchen drains and laundry lines, we clear clogs caused by grease, hair, soap, and more using mechanical augers, drain snakes, or hydro-jetting.
2. Sewer Line Cleaning
Main sewer line blockages are more serious and can affect your entire plumbing system. We offer high-powered cleaning that removes stubborn buildup, sludge, and roots without damaging your pipes.
3. Hydro Jetting Services
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clear tough clogs, clean pipe walls, and flush out debris. It’s ideal for grease-heavy commercial drains and older pipes needing a deep clean.
4. Video Camera Inspections
Using advanced drain cameras, we locate clogs, cracks, or root intrusions with precision. This helps us diagnose the problem and determine the best cleaning or repair strategy.
5. Preventative Maintenance Plans
Don’t wait until you’re ankle-deep in wastewater. We offer scheduled cleaning services for homes and commercial buildings to prevent clogs before they happen.

How Often Should Drains Be Cleaned?
For most homes, a professional drain cleaning once every 1–2 years is sufficient. However, if your home is older, or if you have large trees nearby (which can cause root intrusion), more frequent inspections may be necessary.
Commercial kitchens or high-use buildings should consider quarterly or bi-annual cleanings to prevent serious blockages.

We care about your home and the environment. That’s why we avoid harsh chemicals that can corrode your pipes or harm groundwater. Instead, we use:

FAQs
Q1: Can I use store-bought drain cleaners instead?
A: Chemical cleaners may give temporary relief but can corrode your pipes over time and don’t address deep clogs or main line issues. Professional cleaning is safer and more effective.
Q2: How do I prevent future drain clogs?
A: Avoid pouring grease down the drain, use drain screens to catch debris, and consider annual inspections to catch issues early.
Q3: What is hydro jetting and is it safe for older pipes?
A: Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clean drains. It’s very effective, but we inspect your pipes first to ensure they’re structurally sound.
Q4: How long does sewer cleaning take?
A: Most drain or sewer cleaning jobs take 1–2 hours, depending on the severity of the blockage and length of the line.
Q5: Do you offer emergency drain services?
A: Yes! We offer 24/7 emergency plumbing services for severe clogs, backups, and overflows.
