Start with what you can observe
Where does the water stop draining?
One slow fixture and a backup affecting several rooms can point to different sections of pipe. Describe what happens when you run water and whether this has happened before.
Read our guide to blocked drains- A sink or shower drains slowly. The restriction may be near the fixture or farther along the branch drain.
- Water rises in another fixture. A drain shared by those fixtures, or the main line, may need checking.
- The same blockage keeps returning. The timing and previous cleaning results help determine whether a camera inspection would be useful.
Drain unclogging and cleaning
The right method starts with the line itself
Pipe size, material, accessible condition and the type of obstruction guide the choice of equipment and entry point.
Mechanical drain cleaning
A cable or flex-shaft tool can clear suitable obstructions and work on deposits in the accessible section of drain.
Hot-water hydrojetting
Pressurized water loosens and moves deposits. Hot water can help with grease buildup; pressure and nozzle selection must suit the pipe.
Camera drain inspection
Investigate a recurring blockage or examine an accessible section after cleaning. An obstruction or dirty water can limit the camera view.
Planned drain maintenance
Schedule cleaning around observed buildup, the drain’s use and its history. Agree on the sections to be cleaned and the access required.
Older homes and renovated properties
What has changed behind the walls?
If your Westmount property has been renovated in stages, tell us which drains were replaced and which sections remain original, if known. A new fixture alone does not establish the condition of the line it connects to.
Previous inspection footage, repair records and the location of cleanouts can help us prepare. You do not need to identify hidden pipe materials yourself.
- Identify an available entry point.
Tell us about a basement cleanout, exposed stack or access under a sink. Confirm access with the owner or manager before the visit; do not open walls to look for a pipe.
- Account for the accessible pipe condition.
The cleaning tool and pressure must suit what can be assessed. A suspected defect may require inspection before further work, where visibility allows.
- Separate clearing a blockage from repairing a defect.
Removing deposits or roots can improve flow. It does not repair an open joint, a broken pipe or another structural problem that could cause the blockage to return.
Owners, residents and managers
When a drain serves more than one unit
A backup in one unit can involve a shared line. Knowing which residents or premises are affected helps define the work and arrange access.
Homes and individual units
Identify the affected fixtures and clear the space around the agreed access point. Mention previous backups and any known repairs to the line.
Condos and apartment buildings
Ask the manager to coordinate access to common areas and any other units needed. Agree on the stack or drain sections involved and how residents will be informed.

Before arranging service
Westmount drain-cleaning questions
Availability, older pipes, recurring blockages and what to confirm before work begins.
How soon can you come for a blocked drain in Westmount?
Emergency drain service is available 24/7. Call 438-320-0500 with your address and describe where the water is backing up. We confirm availability and an estimated arrival time based on the work already in progress.
Can you clean the drains in an older Westmount home?
The cleaning method depends on the pipe material, accessible condition, diameter and entry point. Tell us about previous repairs or renovations and share any existing inspection footage. A camera inspection may help clarify a concern, although an obstruction can limit the view. Cleaning does not repair a cracked or displaced pipe.
Should I choose mechanical cleaning or hydrojetting?
That choice depends on the obstruction and the installation. A cable or flex-shaft tool can work on suitable blockages and deposits. Hydrojetting uses pressurized water to loosen and move deposits, and hot water can help with grease. The equipment, pressure and access point must suit the line.
Is a camera inspection or written report included?
Confirm the camera inspection, video recording and any written report when arranging service. They depend on the agreed scope and the access available. A blocked or dirty line may need cleaning before the camera can provide a useful view.
What if the same drain keeps blocking?
Tell us how quickly the problem returns and which fixtures are affected. Recurring blockages may call for inspection of the accessible line to investigate remaining deposits, roots or a visible defect. Cleaning may restore flow, but it does not correct a structural problem. Any repair needs a separate assessment.
How much will the drain cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the affected line, access, cleaning method, time required and service hours. Ask about the applicable charges and included services when you call. For work involving several units or shared building drains, the property manager should first identify the sections involved and coordinate access.
