Drain clogs can form due to various reasons such as accumulated hair, soap scum, food debris, mineral buildup, and foreign objects. These materials can gradually build up in your pipes and cause blockages that impede the flow of water. Clogged drains should not be ignored. This is something you need to act upon.

Clogged drains can lead to several problems such as slow draining or standing water, foul odors, corrosion or leaks in pipes, water damage, and even health hazards due to the growth of bacteria or mold.

It’s not recommended to use chemical drain cleaners to fix clogged drains as they can damage your pipes, harm the environment, and pose a risk to your health if misused. Instead, you should hire a licensed Toronto plumber who can use safe and effective methods to clear your drain clogs.

Use a few drops of food coloring and put in the toilet tank. Wait 10 minutes and see
if the water in the toilet bowl now has color. If its still clear you have no leakage.

The frequency of drain cleaning depends on various factors such as the size of your household or business, the usage of your plumbing fixtures, and the age and condition of your plumbing system. Generally, it’s recommended to get your drains cleaned at least once a year.
