What Are the Signs of a Blocked Drain?

Most drain problems start small, but ignoring the early signs of a blocked drain can lead to bigger repairs down the line. If you notice any of the following, it’s time to call a professional plumber for a clogged drain:
  • Water draining slowly in sinks, showers, or tubs
  • Gurgling sounds coming from the drain
  • Foul odours near your kitchen or bathroom fixtures
  • Water backs up into other drains when you use one
  • Standing water that won’t go away
  • Frequent toilet clogs or overflows

We Solve Drain Problems the Right Way

We take a careful, methodical approach to every job. Our residential plumbers and technicians use professional equipment to identify what’s happening inside your pipes and choose the right method to clear the drain problem without unnecessary disruption.
Drain Snaking and Augering

Drain Snaking and Augering

For blockages close to the surface, we often rely on a drain snaking or augering tool to remove buildup without damaging the pipes. These flexible devices let us reach down into the line and break up whatever’s causing the backup, making them a go-to for clogged toilets, tubs, and sinks.
Hydro Jetting – High Pressure Drain Cleaning

Hydro Jetting – High Pressure Drain Cleaning

When buildup is heavy or deep in the system, hydro jetting gives us a powerful way to restore flow. We flush out grease, soap scum, and other stubborn debris that a basic auger can’t reach using water and high pressure drain cleaning equipment. This method is especially effective in kitchen lines or older plumbing systems with recurring issues.
Drain Camera Inspections

Drain Camera Inspections

If the cause of the problem isn’t clear, we use drain camera inspections to look inside the pipes without any digging. A small camera gives us a real-time view of clogs, cracks, or collapsed sections so that our technicians can confirm the issue and recommend the right solution before starting work.

How to Prevent Clogged Drains at Home

At Preferred Plumbing Solutions, we believe prevention is always easier than repair. You can go a long way to prevent clogged drains with a few simple habits and a bit of routine maintenance.
1

Be Careful What Goes Down the Drain

One of the main causes of clogged drains is buildup from things that shouldn’t be flushed or rinsed away. Using sink strainers and garbage bags, rather than your drain, makes a difference.
2

Run Hot Water Regularly

To help keep oils and residue from sticking inside your pipes, run hot water down kitchen drains after use. This simple step can keep clogged kitchen drains from forming over time.
3

Clean Bathroom Drains Monthly

Regularly removing debris and flushing your drains with baking soda and vinegar can help prevent clogged shower drains and sinks from turning into bigger problems.
4

Fix Minor Issues Early

Don’t wait for water to stop flowing entirely. Slow drainage and gurgling sounds can be early signs of blocked drains, and catching these signs early can save on repair costs in the long run.

DIY Fixes vs. Clogged Drain Plumbers

It’s common to try a few DIY fixes before calling in a clogged drain plumber for your problem, and for minor issues, figuring out what to do with a clogged drain can be simple.
A plunger can help with simple blockages in toilets or sinks. Baking soda and vinegar might loosen buildup in slow drains. Some homeowners even use basic plastic snakes for hair clogs in showers.
Persistent issues often point to deeper drain problems, and it might indicate the need for a complete clogged drain upgrade. At Preferred Plumbing Solutions, we use advanced diagnostics and targeted methods to fix the problem at its source the first time.

The work was done to satisfaction. But still recovering from the exorbitant fee we signed for without seeking a second quote,! Entirely our mistake as aging Seniors 80+, one of whom is under medication for extreme anxiety. Hence the poor judgement and decision making! Be that as it may, we take comfort and are grateful that the CEO, no less, was present along with another licensed plumber and a young helper to finish the task the same day. On principle, and in practice, we have never grudged paying for services rendered by the various trades we have had to use, mindful that these are one time costs that we need to endure cheerfully, from time to time. After all, businesses have overheads and we hope their employees are compensated with the same generosity. So in that spirit of goodwill, I would recommend Preferred Plumbing. Update Sept.11/2025 Another job by the Preferred Plumbing team. From pleasant reception by the office staff, prompt scheduling of the service call to the finish, Preferred Plumbing provided excellent service. While attending his plumbing work, I must add that it was Rafi's astute observation that brought to our attention that the electrical box was not installed at the right distance to connect the wall oven. We were able to correct this mistake before the cabinet installation, thanks to Rafi! We are Tony and Premu Jasansky, residents of Richmond Hill, Ontario.
