Signs Your Kitchen Sink is Blocked and Needs a Drain Snaking in Toronto

A blocked kitchen sink isn’t just an inconvenience – it can point to deeper drainage issues. When you notice any of these signs, it’s time to call a kitchen drain plumber in Toronto with the right tools, like a drain snake:

  1. Standing Water – If you notice standing water in your kitchen sink, it’s a sign of a complete blockage. Water can’t flow through the drain, leaving it trapped in the bowl.
  2. Water Draining from One Sink to Another – In a double-bowled sink, if water drains from one bowl and backs up into the other, that’s a clear sign of a severe blockage in your pipes. Eventually, both sinks will fill with water.
  3. Slow Drainage – If water drains slowly, there’s a significant clog somewhere further down the line. While you might try DIY methods, they often fall short. Calling a plumber for a professional snake drain service is the best bet.
  4. Frequent Drain Issues – A kitchen sink that keeps clogging up points to a larger problem in your plumbing system. Store-bought cleaners won’t solve it. A professional plumber with a drain snake is needed to clear the clog effectively.

Using a Snake to Unclog Kitchen Sink Toronto: How It Works

A drain snake, also known as an auger, is a flexible metal cable that plumbers use to reach deep into your drain. It helps break up or remove clogs, allowing water to flow freely again.

Manual vs. Powered Drain Snakes

  • Manual Snakes: Best for minor clogs close to the drain. They’re a simple tool for clearing small blockages.
  • Powered Snakes: These are more effective for severe clogs deeper in the plumbing system, especially when dealing with grease-clogged drains or solidified debris.

At Cheap Plumber, we use only professional-grade equipment and tools to clear your drains quickly and safely. Our licensed plumbers at Cheap Plumber are experts at managing even the most delicate plumbing systems, both in new or older homes.

How to Prevent Kitchen Sink Clogs

Regular kitchen drain maintenance can help you avoid future plumbing issues. Keep your kitchen drain in top condition and prevent unexpected clogs with these tips:

  • Avoid pouring grease, melted butter, cooking oils, or similar substances down the drain. These can solidify and cause blockages.
  • Use a drain strainer to collect food bits and debris that can lead to clogs.
  • Flush your sink with hot water regularly to prevent blockages and keep water flowing freely.

Shut-off Valves Installation

I recently hired Cheap Plumber to install new shut-off valves for my kitchen and bathroom, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Booking the appointment was easy, and the plumber arrived right on schedule. He explained what needed to be done, replaced the outdated valves efficiently, and even checked for any potential issues while he was there.

The work was done neatly with no mess left behind, and the pricing was exactly what they quoted—no surprises. I now feel much more confident knowing I can shut off water locally in case of an emergency. Highly recommend Cheap Plumber for this kind of work—fast, honest, and professional.

Old Cast Iron Pipes Descaling

We recently had Cheap Plumber come in for cast iron pipe descaling, and the difference has been incredible. Our drains were slow and noisy, and we were starting to get worried about a full blockage or worse. The team showed up right on time, walked us through the process, and got to work with minimal disruption.

They used special equipment to clear out years of buildup inside our old pipes—no digging or tearing things apart. By the time they finished, everything was flowing smoothly again. It was fast, clean, and surprisingly affordable. I highly recommend this service if you have an older home like ours. These guys really know what they’re doing!

A friend recommended Cheap Plumber’s trenchless drain repair service, and I’m so glad I went with them. The team was punctual, professional, and explained exactly how the no-dig process worked. They were able to repair the damaged section of pipe without any excavation, and everything was completed in just one day. My drains are working perfectly now, and you’d never know there was a problem to begin with. Highly recommend!

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!

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!
