More Than One Drain Backing Up?
When several fixtures become slow or begin backing up at the same time, the blockage may be located in a shared branch line, drainage stack or main sewer line.
Common causes include:
- Grease and food buildup
- Hair, soap and debris
- Wipes and excessive paper
- Tree-root intrusion
- Scale inside older drainpipes
- Cracked, separated or deteriorated piping
Warning signs include toilets bubbling when another fixture drains, water rising through a basement floor drain, recurring clogs and several fixtures draining slowly together.
Stop running water if wastewater is rising through a drain. Call 365-796-0152 for professional drain cleaning in Oakville.
How We Clear Blocked Drains
We first determine which fixtures are affected and identify the correct access point. The clearing method depends on the location, type and severity of the blockage.
Professional Drain Snaking
Mechanical drain equipment is used to break through or remove hair, debris, grease, paper and other drain obstructions.
Root Cutting
Specialized cutting heads may be used when tree roots have entered an underground drain or sewer pipe.
Power Flushing and Hydro Jetting
High-pressure water cleaning may be recommended when grease, sludge or heavy buildup remains attached to the pipe walls.
Sewer Camera Inspection
A camera inspection may be completed before or after clearing when access, visibility and pipe conditions allow. It can help identify roots, recurring buildup, cracks, separation or collapsed sections.
Drainage Testing
After clearing, we run and test the affected fixtures to confirm that flow has been restored.
Tree Roots in Your Toilet Drain — A Problem Specific to Older Oakville Neighbourhoods
In older Oakville neighbourhoods — Old Oakville, Bronte, and parts of River Oaks — the original clay tile sewer lines are now 40–70 years old. The joints between sections are no longer sealed. Roots enter at every joint.
We remove root masses from toilet drains regularly on these streets. The toilet isn't the source — it's where the blockage becomes visible first, because the toilet sits directly above the main drain stack.
Signs You Have a Clogged Drain in Oakville That Needs Professional Clearing
— Multiple drains slow or stopped at the same time — Gurgling from the toilet when you run a sink or appliance — Water pooling in the basement floor drain — Sewage smell from drains in the basement — Toilet water rises when you run the shower — Kitchen sink backs up when the dishwasher drains — Any drain that has been slow for more than two weeks
Two or more of these signs means the main line is partially blocked. Do not wait for a full backup.

Clogged Bathtub Drain in Oakville – Drain Cleaning Service
Clogged drains in Oakville are often caused by hair, grease, and debris building up inside pipes. Even when water drains slowly, the blockage is still there and will continue to worsen over time. Our drain cleaning Oakville service removes the buildup completely to restore proper flow
Main Sewer Line Cleaning
Tree roots, grease buildup, and debris can block your main sewer line. Our professional drain cleaning equipment clears heavy obstructions safely and restores proper flow.
Oakville & Burlington homes — especially in Glen Abbey, River Oaks, College Park and Bronte — often experience sewer line issues due to aging pipes and tree root intrusion.
Tree roots grow into small cracks in sewer pipes and trap debris, causing severe backups.

This ensures the entire pipe is cleared and verified before we leave.

Basement Floor Drain Backup in Oakville
A basement floor drain backing up is often the first sign of a blocked main sewer line. When wastewater cannot exit your home properly, it will return through the lowest drain point — usually the basement.
Common causes in Oakville homes include:
• Tree roots in sewer line
• Heavy rain overwhelming municipal drains
• Main stack clogs
• Grease or debris buildup
• Aging clay or cast iron sewer pipes
If sewage or dirty wastewater is actively backing up through a basement floor drain, toilet, shower or bathtub, stop using the plumbing system and visit our https://www.17plumbing.ca/sewer-backup-oakville service page for urgent response.
For recurring blockages without active sewage entering the property, professional drain cleaning may be required to clear buildup, roots or debris and restore flow.
Main Sewer Line & Tree Root Removal in Oakville. Book a plumber now.
When several fixtures are affected or a blockage repeatedly returns, the restriction may be located inside the main drainage line.
Depending on the condition of the pipe, we may use:
- Professional main-drain snaking
- Root-cutting equipment
- Power flushing or hydro jetting
- Sewer-camera inspection
- Flow testing after clearing
Tree roots usually enter through cracks, separated joints or damaged underground piping. The toilet, floor drain or cleanout may be used as the access point, but it is not necessarily where the roots entered the pipe.
Call 365-796-0152 for main drain cleaning in Oakville.
Sewage Backing Up Into the Basement?
Sewage or dirty wastewater rising through a basement floor drain, toilet, shower or bathtub may indicate a blockage in the main drainage or sewer line.
Stop using toilets, sinks, showers, laundry and the dishwasher. Continued water use can force more wastewater into the property.
