Drain Cleaning Ottawa
Dealing with a slow drain, clogged sink, backed-up toilet, or water not draining properly? Rhino Plumbing provides drain cleaning services across Ottawa for homes and residential properties.
Drain problems usually start small. Water starts draining slower than normal, toilets begin backing up, or sinks start making strange noises. If it’s ignored for too long, it can eventually turn into a full blockage or sewer backup.
Common Drain Problems We Fix
Drain problems usually start small and slowly get worse over time. We regularly help homeowners with:
- Slow draining sinks and tubs
- Fully clogged drains
- Recurring drain backups
- Gurgling noises from drains
- Bad smells coming from pipes
- Water backing up into sinks, tubs, or floor drains

What Causes Clogged Drains?
Understanding the cause helps prevent future problems.
Most clogged drains are caused by buildup inside the pipe over time. Some of the most common causes include:
- Grease and food buildup
- Hair and soap buildup
- Wipes and foreign objects
- Tree roots in sewer lines
- Dirt, scale, and debris buildup
- Paper towels
- Feminine hygeine problems
Our Drain Cleaning Process
- Find the source of the blockage

When a Clog Becomes an Emergency
Some drain issues can turn into serious problems quickly.
Some drain issues should be addressed immediately. Call for emergency plumbing service if:

- Sewage is coming up through drains
- Your basement is flooding
- You smell strong sewer odors
- Toilets and sinks are backing up at the same time
These are often signs of a larger sewer line blockage. View Emergency Plumbing.
Drain Cleaning vs. Store-Bought Drain Cleaners
Store-bought drain cleaners usually don’t fully solve the problem. In many cases, they:
- Only partially clear the blockage
- Damage pipes over time
- Push the clog deeper into the system
Prevent Future Drain Problems
Regular maintenance can help prevent larger drain and sewer problems later on. Simple maintenance can help:
- Keep drains flowing properly
