Aquaboss provides fast and professional drain snaking and pipe cleaning services for Toronto homes and condos.
We specialize in removing blockages from sink drains, bathtubs, utility tubs, and non-sewer floor drains — with no damage to fixtures or finishes.
Our team uses manual and motorized auger machines to restore flow through short- and medium-length pipes.
If your clogged drain is connected to a waterproofed basement area, we ensure safe cleaning with no disruption to drainage membranes or interior coatings.
We offer same-day appointments, clear pricing, and on-the-spot flow testing after every job.
Drain snaking is a mechanical method of pipe cleaning that uses a flexible steel cable — known as an auger — to physically dislodge clogs from within residential drain lines.
Unlike chemical solutions, snaking provides direct contact with the obstruction, allowing it to be broken apart or pulled out without damaging the pipe.
Aquaboss uses a structured, step-by-step process to ensure your drain is not only cleared but remains protected — especially in homes with basement waterproofing systems or finished interiors.
By controlling every step of the process, Aquaboss delivers more than a cleared drain — we preserve the functionality of waterproofed basements and reduce future plumbing risks. This approach reflects our commitment as a full-service basement waterproofing company in Toronto, ensuring your drains and barriers work as one.

We begin with a visual and functional inspection to determine the location, depth, and cause of the clog. If the affected line is located in a basement or behind a finished wall, our technicians use moisture meters and fluorescent dye tests to identify problem areas without unnecessary demolition.
Based on drain size and blockage type, we select the right tool:
Powered cable snake for complex or stubborn clogs
Our technician inserts the auger into the drain and rotates the cable through bends and elbows, applying pressure to break apart the clog. This is done with care to avoid damage to pipe walls or seals — especially near basement moisture barriers.
After dislodging the clog, we flush the line with clean water to remove residual debris and confirm restored flow. In cases of recurring organic buildup, we apply an enzyme-based treatment to coat the interior walls and inhibit future accumulation.
The final step includes a post-cleaning flow test at the fixture and downstream connection, ensuring no residual buildup remains. We also provide prevention tips to avoid recurrence — especially in homes with basement systems reliant on continuous drainage.

For waterproofed homes, drain snaking is the preferred method because it avoids overflows, does not affect waterproofing membranes, and requires no wall or floor access. It’s one of the most effective service-layer tools used by any qualified basement waterproofing company in Toronto to prevent indirect flood risks.

Slow drains and bubbling fixtures may seem minor — but they often signal a partial clog that’s building pressure behind your walls or under the floor.
In waterproofed homes, ignoring a blocked branch drain can create moisture conditions that defeat the protection of your basement waterproofing system.
The issues below often stem from clogs in short-run pipes — usually less than 25 feet — where buildup from hair, grease, or debris accumulates at bends or elbows.
Snaking is the fastest and least invasive method to restore full pipe function — without opening walls or damaging finishes.
Here are clear signs your pipes need immediate cleaning:
Water pooling in bathtubs or showers after use. Sink draining slowly, even after a flush of hot water
Gurgling or bubbling noises from nearby drains when another fixture is used
Toilet requiring two flushes to clear
Laundry tub overflowing or backing up during washing machine cycles
Drain snaking is effective for most fixture-based drains, including kitchen sinks, bathroom fixtures, and laundry tubs. These secondary drain lines are typically short or medium in length and connect to the main stack. Because of their narrower diameter, they often clog first due to organic buildup like grease or hair.
Kitchen sink drains often clog from grease, soap residue, and food debris. At Aquaboss, we use grease-specific auger heads to scrape buildup from pipe walls and restore water flow without chemical cleaners.
Hair, toothpaste, and personal care products commonly clog bathroom sinks and shower drains. We use snaking to break down these organic materials and flush them safely into the main drain system.
Utility sink drains often become clogged by lint, detergent residue, and fine debris from washing machines. We clear these blockages using manual or power-driven snakes, preserving the integrity of nearby plumbing systems.
Non-sewer floor drains in basements or garages can clog from sediment, construction dust, or dirty backflow water. We use targeted snaking to remove the blockage and restore drainage, preventing puddling or moisture buildup.
When toilets are connected to a side drain rather than the main stack, they can often be snaked locally. Aquaboss uses specially designed toilet augers that protect the porcelain and avoid damage to internal trap geometry.
By targeting specific drains, Aquaboss ensures precise cleaning — and in basements with waterproofing, we prevent drain overflows from triggering moisture damage or undermining sealed membranes.
Drain snaking is one of the most affordable ways to restore proper flow to your plumbing system — especially when done before a full backup causes flooding or water damage in your basement.
In Toronto, most drain snaking services cost between $150 and $350, depending on drain type, clog depth, access, and equipment required.
Aquaboss includes a free in-home diagnostic, where we assess the problem, quote the job on-site, and offer the best clearing strategy.
If the clog is straightforward — like a shower or bathroom sink — we never upcharge for cable use or machine access.
With basement waterproofing systems in place, it’s critical to resolve drainage issues early — and snaking is the most economical, low-risk intervention available.
If you’re facing slow drainage or early signs of a clog, don’t wait for it to escalate into backups or water damage in your basement.
Aquaboss offers flat-rate, same-day drain snaking services throughout Toronto — with no risk to your plumbing or waterproofing systems.
Here’s what to expect:

Yes, snaking is safe for older pipes when performed by trained professionals. At Aquaboss, we evaluate each pipe's age, material, and structural integrity before starting. For fragile clay or cast iron lines, we use flexible, low-speed augers to prevent cracking or dislodging of joints.
If the clog is completely cleared, recurrence is unlikely. Aquaboss uses full-length cable snaking and flushes the line after each job to remove all residual debris. In basements with waterproofing systems, we recommend enzyme treatment to prevent future buildup from organic materials.
Standard drain snaking takes between 30 and 60 minutes. Kitchen and bathroom sinks are typically resolved fastest due to their short and direct pipe runs. Floor drains and deep branch lines may take up to 90 minutes, including full testing after service.
Yes, Aquaboss includes cleanup in every snaking service. We wipe down fixtures, remove dislodged debris, and sanitize the work area. We also protect your waterproofing system by preventing residue from entering sump pits or interior drain tiles.
