Slow drains, standing water and recurring clogs can interrupt everyday life. Here are some of the common drainage problems Environmental Plumbing can help investigate and address in Nepean.
Grease, food scraps and buildup can slow your kitchen drain or cause a complete blockage.
Hair, soap residue and everyday buildup can cause slow drainage or a blocked bathroom sink.
Standing water, slow drainage and recurring clogs are common in showers and bathtubs.
A toilet that won't drain properly may have a blockage in the fixture or farther down the drain line.
Slow drainage or wastewater backups at a floor drain can indicate buildup or a problem farther along the drain line.
Multiple drains backing up can point to a blockage in the main sewer line that needs professional attention.
Different drainage problems call for different approaches. Environmental Plumbing can investigate the blockage and discuss an appropriate method based on the drain, pipe condition and problem.
Clearing Clogs
Drain snakes and augers help break through or remove certain blockages inside drain pipes. This approach may be suitable for clogged kitchen sinks, bathroom drains and other accessible drain lines.

Investigating the Problem
A drain camera can help identify the location and possible cause of recurring blockages, including buildup, roots or damaged sections of pipe. An inspection helps guide the next steps.

High-Pressure Cleaning
Hydro jetting uses pressurized water to clear certain types of buildup and obstructions from drain and sewer lines. It is considered when the pipe condition and blockage make high-pressure cleaning appropriate.

From clogged kitchen sinks to main drain problems, here's what customers have shared about their experiences with Environmental Plumbing.
Great experience. We needed help with a clogged kitchen drain and installation of a new faucet. Sean was very professional and knowledgeable throughout the service and all issues were resolved to satisfaction!
We would definitely recommend Environmental Plumbing and return if needed in the future.
I am 100% satisfied with the plumbing service that Environmental Plumbing provided today and would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to others. Sean the plumber was excellent. Friendly, professional, a good communicator and he really knew his stuff. He was a good representative of the company and instilled confidence in his work. It was easy to book an appointment on line, Sean arrived on time, he scoped out the plumbing problem and then provided a competitive price quote before starting the work. He did an excellent job of clearing a blocked kitchen drain. I’m always a bit hesitant to select a contractor from the internet but in this case it all worked for really well. It’s great to support a local business and I’ll make Environmental Plumbing my first choice for future plumbing needs. Thanks Sean and Environmental Plumbing for a 5-Star job well done!
We had Eric come out to fix a clogged drain and he was so personable, friendly, and knowledgable. He let me watch the cameras as he showed me the problem areas in our pipes, and gave us options on how to go about rectifying the issues. He had to deliver a little bit of bad news, but was kind and honest about it. I would recommend these guys for any plumbing needs, it was easy to book online, there were no hidden fees or secrets kept from us, and the service was prompt and efficient!
Excellent service by Eric from Environmental Plumbing. This young man fixed our main drain problem quickly and efficiently. He explained exactly what he did and answered our questions without hesitation. He was very respectful and courteous.

Slow drains, stubborn clogs or a sewer line that keeps backing up? Here are answers to common drain cleaning questions from Nepean homeowners.
Grease, food particles, soap residue and other buildup can gradually restrict a kitchen drain. If the sink keeps clogging after basic cleaning, there may be a blockage farther along the pipe. Professional drain snaking can help clear certain obstructions.
When multiple fixtures drain slowly or back up together, the problem may be in a shared drain or main sewer line rather than an individual sink or toilet. Stop using affected fixtures if wastewater is backing up and arrange a plumbing assessment.
Yes. Tree roots can enter sewer pipes through joints, cracks or other openings and restrict wastewater flow. Root intrusion is one possible cause of recurring sewer blockages, particularly where mature trees grow near buried drain lines. A camera inspection can help investigate the cause.
A dry floor-drain trap can allow sewer odours into a basement. A backup, however, may indicate a blockage or another drainage problem. If wastewater is rising through the floor drain, avoid using connected plumbing fixtures until the issue has been assessed.
They can be. Established Nepean neighbourhoods contain homes of different ages, and older drainage systems may have different pipe materials, connections or wear than newer installations. The age of a home alone does not identify the problem; an inspection can help determine what's happening.
A drain camera inspection can be useful when blockages keep returning, several fixtures are affected or a plumber suspects pipe damage, roots or another obstruction. The camera helps examine accessible sections of the line and can guide recommendations for cleaning or repair.
Neither method is best for every blockage. Drain snaking uses a cable or auger to clear certain obstructions, while hydro jetting uses pressurized water to remove suitable buildup from pipes. The right approach depends on the blockage, pipe condition and access.
