Midtown Plumbing clears blocked and slow drains throughout Richmond Hill — kitchen, bathroom, and main sewer lines. Fully stocked truck, camera inspection on every job, most repairs done in a single visit.
Midtown Plumbing provides same-day drain cleaning throughout Richmond Hill, available 7 days a week from 7 AM to 9 PM. Every job includes a camera inspection and a fully stocked truck — auger, hydro-jet, and parts are all on board so most Richmond Hill drain jobs are cleared in a single visit.
Richmond Hill's older streets — Mill Pond, Bayview Avenue, the Yonge Street corridor south of Major Mackenzie — have housing stock that dates back to the 1970s and earlier. These homes have aging galvanized supply and cast iron drain lines that are now well past their typical service life. Further north and east, the large 1990s and 2000s subdivisions in Elgin Mills, Oak Ridges, and Jefferson bring their own issues: main sewer lines under mature landscaping that have developed root intrusion over two to three decades. We arrive with the equipment needed to camera the line, diagnose the blockage, and clear it on the same visit. Call 647-778-9411 — most Richmond Hill calls get a plumber on-site within 3–5 hours.
Professional drain cleaning means physically removing the blockage — not dissolving it with chemicals that often don't work and can damage older pipe walls. We use electric augers for solid blockages and hydro-jetting for grease and mineral scale. Every job starts with a camera inspection so you see what's in the line before we quote anything.
In Richmond Hill, the most common causes are grease buildup in kitchen drains, hair and soap scum in bathroom lines, and tree root intrusion in main sewer lines — particularly in the 1980s and 90s homes where infrastructure is 30–40 years old. Identifying the cause determines the correct tool. A fully stocked truck means we don't need to leave and return for equipment — most Richmond Hill drain calls are resolved in one visit.
Water draining slower than usual, or gurgling sounds from nearby fixtures — both signal a partial blockage building inside the drain line.
When more than one drain is slow or backed up simultaneously, the blockage is in the main sewer line — not individual fixture traps.
A persistent sewage smell — especially from floor drains or lower-level fixtures — indicates a blockage or dried trap letting sewer gas back into the home.
Running the dishwasher and seeing the kitchen sink back up, or flushing the toilet and seeing the shower fill — both are main sewer line warning signs.
A drain that blocks every few weeks despite clearing usually means root intrusion, scale buildup, or a damaged pipe section — camera diagnosis required.
The basement floor drain is the lowest point in the system. When it backs up, the entire main line from house to street is blocked. Call immediately.
We don't quote drain work blind. Every truck carries a drain camera — we put it in the line and show you the footage before recommending anything. You know what's there before approving any work.
Auger equipment, hydro-jet nozzles, camera gear, and common parts are all on board. Most Richmond Hill drain calls are cleared completely in a single visit — no waiting for parts.
Every drain job is performed by a licensed and insured master plumber — not a subcontractor. License number T95-4304136, Skilled Trades Ontario.

We recently had a clogged drain that needed immediate attention, and the service exceeded our expectations. They arrived promptly, fully equipped, and wasted no time diagnosing the issue. The plumber walked us through the problem, explained the possible causes, and provided a clear estimate before starting. Within no time, they unclogged the drain and ensured everything was functioning perfectly. Highly recommended for their efficiency, professionalism, and fair pricing!
I had a fantastic experience with Andrew! He arrived on time, was professional and courteous, and most importantly — quickly found the root of the problem without needing to open up the wall or make a big mess. His approach saved me both time and money. It's not easy to find someone who's both skilled and respectful of your home. Highly recommended!
Andrew is EXCELLENT! I have used him for a number of jobs. He's very knowledgeable and efficient.
Richmond Hill's older residential areas — Mill Pond, the Bayview Avenue corridor, and Yonge Street south of Major Mackenzie — have homes built predominantly in the 1960s and 70s. These properties often have galvanized steel supply lines that are now 50 to 60 years old and cast iron drain lines of similar age. Galvanized supply corrodes from the inside out, restricting flow and discolouring water. Cast iron drains oxidize and roughen internally, catching grease and debris. If you're in one of these older Richmond Hill streets and dealing with recurring blockages, a camera inspection will show you the condition of the pipe walls — and whether clearing alone is enough or whether a section needs replacement.
The large suburban subdivisions built through the 1990s and 2000s — Elgin Mills, Oak Ridges, Jefferson, and Devonsleigh — account for the majority of Richmond Hill's residential housing. These homes have copper supply and ABS drains that were well-built when installed. The main sewer lines under properties with 20–30-year-old landscaping are the most common drain problem we see in this era: tree roots find pipe joints and grow inward. We carry hydro-jetting equipment to cut root masses back thoroughly, and the camera confirms whether pipe wall damage requires a follow-up repair or replacement.
Richmond Hill also has a growing number of townhouse complexes and mid-rise condos — particularly along Yonge Street and near the GO station corridor. Drain problems in these properties are often in the horizontal run between the unit and the shared vertical stack — not the stack itself. We handle in-unit drain work in Richmond Hill's multi-unit buildings, coordinate access with building management where required, and carry appropriate insurance documentation. Call 647-778-9411 and let us know the building type when you call.
