Our basement floor drain backed up on a Sunday. PlusFlow called back quickly, cleared the line and showed us on camera what caused it. Clear explanation, no pressure, and they left everything clean.

Service · Calgary
Slow drains, gurgling fixtures and recurring backups are usually signs of build-up deeper in the line. We clear grease, scale, debris and obstructions from household drains and main sewer lines so your system flows the way it was designed to.
Overview
Drain and sewer cleaning removes the material that builds up inside your pipes over time — grease, soap scum, hair, scale, wipes and debris — and restores the full flow the line was designed for.
Depending on the line and the blockage, we use drum and sectional cable machines with cutting heads, or water jetting for heavier build-up. A clean line drains faster, smells better and is far less likely to back up into the basement.

No clear, no clearing charge
On eligible standard blockages.
Spot Problems Early
Problems build up gradually. Watch for these warning signs before a small issue becomes a backup.
Sinks, tubs or showers that take longer than usual to empty.
Air pushed back through traps when water can't pass a restriction.
Sewer smells around drains or the basement floor drain.
Water rising in a floor drain or tub when another fixture runs.
Lines that block again soon after a plunger or store-bought fix.
Staining or damp around the floor drain after heavy water use.
Root Causes
Understanding the cause is how we stop a problem from coming back — not just clear it for today.
01Fats cool and harden on pipe walls, catching everything that follows.
02Bathroom lines collect a tough mat of hair bound together with soap.
03"Flushable" products don't break down like toilet paper.
04Mineral build-up narrows older cast-iron and galvanised pipe.

Our Process
Slow drains, gurgling fixtures and recurring backups are usually signs of build-up deeper in the line. We clear grease, scale, debris and obstructions from household drains and main sewer lines so your system flows the way it was designed to.
We locate the access point and determine the type and position of the blockage.
Using cable machines or water jetting, we remove the obstruction and build-up along the pipe wall.
We run water through the line and, where useful, confirm the result with a camera.

What's Included
We confirm the problem before recommending work.
Tools matched to your pipe size, material and condition.
You'll know what we found, what we did and what's next.
Protective care inside, and a clean work area when we leave.

Before / After
A restricted line slowly chokes flow. Cleaning removes the blockage and the build-up around it so water moves freely again.

When several fixtures are slow at the same time — or water comes up in a floor drain when you run the washer — the problem is usually in the main line rather than a single fixture.
No. We clear lines mechanically or with water jetting. Chemical drain openers can damage older pipes and don't remove build-up along the pipe wall.
Most residential drain cleanings are completed in a single visit. Timing depends on access, the type of blockage and whether a camera check is recommended afterward.
