24/7 drain clearing and repair
A sewer problem can’t always be solved with a single tool. Depending on the situation, it may be necessary to clear a blockage, clean a pipe, inspect its interior or access a damaged section. For a plumbing emergency in Candiac involving drains or pipes, Débouchage Sani Action has a range of equipment and offers 24/7 service.
Benoit Lalonde handles the work himself. He serves residential, commercial and industrial properties, as well as schools and municipal facilities. When you call, explain what isn’t working. You don’t need to know the cause before getting in touch.
Is the blockage in the drain or farther down the sewer line?
A toilet that drains poorly may point to a localized problem. But if several fixtures are affected, the blockage may be in a shared pipe or farther along the drainage system. The key question is whether the problem affects one fixture or several drains.
Sink unclogging or toilet unclogging addresses the fixture and its immediate drain. If several drains are affected, sewer drain unclogging may require a closer inspection.
Describing which areas are affected and when the problem occurs helps Benoit prepare for the service call. For example, mention whether water backs up when the washing machine is running or several drains slow down at the same time.
What equipment is needed to get your sewer line working properly again?
The method depends on the pipe, the available access and what is blocking the flow. Sani Action has a range of equipment to clear and clean pipes, inspect their interior or locate a problem.
Depending on the conditions observed, the work may involve:
- a professional rooter or drain auger to clear certain blockages;
- a hydro jetter to clean the inside of pipes and remove buildup;
- a camera and locator to inspect a pipe and identify certain problems;
- a pipe boring machine to address some stubborn blockages;
- a vacuum truck when the job requires it.
The equipment is selected based on the work required. Clearing a blockage, cleaning a pipe and inspecting it address different needs. To learn more about high-pressure pipe cleaning or camera inspection, visit the service pages.
Why does a drain blockage keep coming back after it’s cleared?
When the same drain keeps clogging, clearing the blockage doesn’t always explain what’s happening inside the pipe. Is buildup returning? Is there a visible irregularity inside the pipe? Is the blockage farther down than the access point?
A camera inspection can help examine the pipe when its condition and access allow. A locator can then help pinpoint the problem. These checks guide the next steps; they don’t automatically mean excavation is needed.
When should you consider excavation?
If the assessment reveals a broken pipe or a section that can’t be repaired through an existing access point, excavation may be considered. It provides access to the affected area so it can be repaired or replaced, depending on its condition.
Sani Action also offers excavation and drain and pipe repair. The need for excavation and the scope of the work depend on the problem, its location and access to the property.
Residential, commercial, industrial or public facilities?
Needs vary from one property to another. At home, a sewer backup can make a bathroom unusable. At a business or industrial facility, a sewer problem can disrupt operations. In a school or municipal building, the affected areas and access to the pipes also need to be considered.
When you call, tell us what type of building it is, which fixtures or areas are affected and whether there are any access restrictions. For a commercial, industrial, school or municipal property, let us know if the work needs to be planned around specific hours or rooms. This helps us determine how to handle your request.
