Today's job: Commercial urinal completely clogged at a busy fast food
restaurant in Oakville. Standing water, bathroom shut down, location
losing transactions every hour it stayed offline. 🚫

Here's the thing about commercial urinals — they're a completely
different animal than residential. A McDonald's-sized location can
push 20-50x the volume of a home bathroom through one fixture. Over
years, you get:

🧂 Uric salt buildup (forms crystalline deposits — basically like
cement coating the inside of your pipes)
🪨 Scale from hard water
🧻 Foreign objects (you would not believe what we pull out)

A regular drain snake won't cut it. You need power flushing —
high-pressure water that breaks up the crystallized scale and
flushes the debris through the stack.

The fix:
1️⃣ Pulled the urinal off the wall to access the cast iron drain
rough-in
2️⃣ Augered the immediate blockage
3️⃣ Power flushed the drain stack to clear scale and uric buildup
4️⃣ Cleaned the trap, fresh wax seal, new flush valve gasket
5️⃣ Pressure tested

Total time: 90 minutes. Restaurant back open. Manager happy. We were
out before the lunch rush hit. 💼

If you run a restaurant, retail location, gym, or office building in
Oakville, Burlington, or Mississauga and a drain backs up — call us.
Commercial drain cleaning, hydro-jetting, power flushing, and
emergency plumbing 24/7. Licensed, insured, WSIB, Red Seal certified.

Today's job: Kitchen sink completely clogged in Oakville.

The P-trap (the U-shaped pipe under your sink) was packed solid —
couldn't tell where the pipe ended and the gunk began. 🤢

What's in there? Years of:
🥓 Cooking grease
☕ Coffee grounds (please stop putting these down the drain)
🍝 Food bits that snuck past the strainer
🧼 Soap residue that hardens like cement over time

The fix was straightforward — pulled the trap, ran a drain auger
through the line, flushed everything clean, reinstalled. About 45
minutes start to finish. Drain runs like new.

Quick PSA for our Oakville neighbours — if your kitchen sink is
draining slow, please don't:
❌ Pour boiling water down it (can crack the trap)
❌ Use chemical drain cleaners (eats your pipes from the inside out)
❌ Keep running the disposal (just pushes the clog further down)

✅ Just call a licensed plumber. We do this every single day. Right
tools, right method, no damage to your plumbing system.

Need a drain cleaned? We're licensed, insured, WSIB covered, Red
Seal Master Plumber. Same day drain cleaning service across
Oakville, Burlington, and Mississauga.

This Oakville basement was about to flood with raw sewage.
Tree roots had grown straight through the main sewer line. Every flush, every load of laundry, every shower was pushing waste back toward the house. The floor drain was already overflowing when the homeowner called.
We snaked it. We pulled the roots out. We cleared the line before the damage spread.
If your floor drain is gurgling or your toilet bubbles when the shower runs, this is starting at your house too. Wait a few more days and you are not paying a plumber — you are paying a restoration company.

17 Plumbing. Emergency plumber Oakville. Red Seal licensed, insured, WSIB. We answer the phone and we show up the same day.
Stop it before the basement floods.

This kitchen sink was backing up because the drain pipe was clogged with thick white grease.

This is a common problem in kitchen drains. Grease may go down as liquid, but once it cools inside the pipe, it hardens and collects food particles. Over time, the drain opening gets smaller until the sink starts backing up.

Our plumber cleared the blockage, redid the drain, and performed water-flow testing after the repair to make sure the sink was draining properly.

If your kitchen sink is backing up, do not wait until dirty water overflows into the cabinet.
