    *labor only
Soap, shampoo, hair, conditioner, dead skin cells, and other such things regularly travel through the tub drains. Every time you bathe, a large amount of debris is flushed down these drains and eventually these items pile up and cause bad clogs in the tubs. Bathtubs and shower clogs don’t occur as often as kitchen sinks clogs, but if you’re careless and don’t clean the drains regularly; you’ll face the problem at some point or another.

Snake Tub Drain Cleaning Costs

If you have a big clog in your drains, you should call in the professionals to handle the problem because the blockage will keep reoccurring if it’s not cleared completely. Most people are hesitant to hire a professional to handle drain clearing because there are several DIY and over-the-counter solutions available in the market. Unfortunately, these solutions aren’t as effective.

Some plumbers will use chemicals and drain-cleaning solutions to clear the clogs and these work well on small blocks. However, if there’s a severe clog, plumbers will use power drain snake machine, which is a specially designed tool to completely clear drain blockages. This machine will effectively remove soap build-up, clumps of hair, and other such materials from the drain and clear it completely.

The cost of this service depends largely on the plumber you hire or where you live. In Toronto, most plumbers will charge around $120 to $140 for the job. This cost can be higher if there are multiple clogs or clogs in different fixtures of your bathroom.

DIY or Professional Drain Cleaning?

In many cases, DIY bathtub drain cleaning is somewhat effective as it will temporarily clear the blockage. However, most DIY solutions won’t be able to deal with accumulated clumps of soap and hair. Here are some reasons why hiring professional plumbers is a better option:

  • Plumbers will inspect your drain system and determine the true source of the clog. With DIY solutions, you’ll only be able to address the surface problems and deeper clogs will go unnoticed until other problems occur.
  • A drain snake will completely and thoroughly clear the drainpipe as it will physically remove all the stubborn clogging materials. This is one of the most effective ways to address drain blockages and it is best performed by professionals.

Plumbers will also take care to not damage your existing drain pipes, which is a concern with chemical drain cleaners.

Pipe In Powder Room and My Experience With CP

A few days ago the sink in the powder room started to leak. The pipe was corroded where the trap is located. I called Max and he sent Andres who replaced the pipe and left the powder room in perfect order. He was fast and efficient. I’ve used Max and his team for 10 years for major jobs replacing lead water lines in the front yard and installing a much-needed backwater valve under my house to prevent flooding during heavy rains. During a winter freeze, my pipes froze inside the wall and burst at midnight. Max’s team was here by breakfast and moved the vulnerable pipes from the exterior wall to inside the ceiling. Hardworking, decent, efficient crew.

Replaced Horizontal Sewer Line In Basement In 100 Year Old House

I was renovating the basement of my 100-year-old house to replace the very old crumbling clay horizontal sewer line out to the street. I had several unsatisfactory quotes from other plumbers. I then contacted Cheap Plumber. Max was very reasonable and very efficient and timely. They also suggested a backwash valve that will prevent the sewer from ever backing up into the house. I agreed and they provided an excellent price and did a superb job. This week, I decided to install the Moen Flo valve (sold by Home Depot Canada and Amazon.ca) that shuts off all water to the house – IF ever there is a leak anywhere in the house in the toilet or water tank etc. I immediately contacted Max – who provided an excellent price and was able to install it shortly after the valve arrived. I was very pleased as no leaks and they cleaned up afterwards. I will use Max and Cheap Plumber for any future plumbing jobs. I strongly recommend this company.

Back Water Valve Installation

Max and his team installed a back water valve in my house, replaced some of the water lines, installed new water meter for me. Everything was done quickly, professionally, perfect clean up, filled out and submitted the forms for the rebate from the city. When I noticed a tiny leak after the job completion, a technician was sent over within minutes and everything was fixed very quickly. The services were reasonably priced, and I would definitely recommend this company to anyone with plumbing needs. Thank you!

We are happy with the service and would definitely call again if we ever run into any issue.

Drain Work

I had to get the water service line replaced because of the new smart water meter requirement. Got quotes on a monday. Went with Max and although I was a little concerned about the lack of reviews on Homestars, I went with my gut and my gut was right. The work was done by wednesday (in by 8:30 out by 3:30). Max and his guys were punctual, careful about maintaining site cleanliness and very respectful. His price was the best of three quotes and he is honest and straightforward in his communication. His follow up once the job was complete was great. I highly recommend Cheap Plumber for any plumbing issue you may have and I am happy with my new water pressure!

Cracked Soil Stack

Our 98 year old cast iron soil pipe needed replacing. Replacing it was tricky as we had a newly renovated kitchen and basement bathroom and the stack was embedded between the outside brick wall and the new tiles and cabinets. Max and his crew did an amazing job of replacing the stack with only minimal damage to the basement bathroom and none to the kitchen. He then had a crew come in to restore the wall, tiles, etc in the basement. The team is hardworking, trustworthy, and professional. This is the second job they have done for us and both times we were more than satisfied. Ps. They are also just really nice people. Worth every penny.

Andrew did a great job fixing our drain. He was punctual, polite, knowledgeable and very patient with my questions. He quickly identified the problem (tree roots in drain pipe) and worked hard on snaking the tough roots until he was satisfied everything was clear. We were so lucky to have his help. Thanks Max and Andrew!
