Basement Drain Cleaning Winnipeg

When the snow melts or summer storms hit, basement drains are an essential piece of protection for your home; they capture water to stop your basement from flooding. A clogged basement drain can lead to backup - and that can lead to your basement flooding.

Don’t take a chance on water damage; contact the pros at Mr. Rooter instead. Call us anytime; we’ll get to your home or business as soon as possible, unclog your drain, and prevent your basement from flooding.

  • We’ll begin by thoroughly inspecting the drain to find any obvious blockages. In some cases, when we cannot see blockages, we may use tools like our pipe inspection cameras to look deeper into the drain pipe, but this is not necessary with most blockages. We’ll also use our senses to determine if the flooding is groundwater, sewer backup, or both.

  • The next step is clearing the blockages. Most floor drains can be cleared by using a drain snake; we have high-quality drain snakes that can quickly clear blockages without damaging your pipes. In some cases, we may opt for chemical cleaners or other techniques, like hydro-jetting, to ensure the drain is cleared. We clean all kinds of blockages: Biomass, tree roots, debris, and more.

  • Clearing one blockage isn’t always enough; we continue to snake and clean until all of the blockages are cleared and proper flow is restored through your drain pipe.

  • We aren’t satisfied until we’re sure that the drain is working properly; our team will run water and flush tests to ensure that everything is flowing perfectly before we leave.

Common Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning

Your basement floor drain may be clogged if:

  • Water is draining slowly
  • There are foul smells coming from the drain
  • Flies and other insects are gathering around the drain
  • There is standing water in your basement
  • Your drain gurgles

Basement drains may back up if there is a problem with your main sewer line; they are the lowest point of your home’s drainage system. You may need your basement drain or sewer line cleaned if:

  • Water is draining slowly throughout your whole home
  • You are experiencing a sewer backup

In any of these cases, you should call a professional plumber. Drain snakes and other tools are dangerous and can damage your drain if not used properly. The team at Mr. Rooter can help.
