Blocked Drains

If your home or business is experiencing unusually slow water drainage, or water or sewage backup, your drain pipes are obstructed or completely blocked. McHenry Plumbing has the equipment and experience necessary to tackle any kind of drain blockage.

Main Causes of a Blocked Drain

If you notice water draining at an unusually slow pace from a sink, shower or tub, this is a sign of an obstructed drain. With time, grease and minerals present in water cling to the pipes’ walls and accumulate, while roots of large trees planted too close to a building can also break through the drain. This kind of debris tends to block the passage of water.

Consequences of a Blocked Drain

Drains, when fully or partially blocked, can result in water or sewage backing up through your drains. When a house has a floor drain, an evacuation problem may cause water damage in the basement. To avoid any problems, such as dirt, damage to the flooring or foul smell, request a drain cleaning from your trusted plumber in Montreal, McHenry Plumbing.
