Midtown Plumbing clears blocked and slow drains across Toronto — kitchen, bathroom, and main sewer lines. Camera inspection on every job. Written quote before we touch anything.
Midtown Plumbing provides same-day drain cleaning throughout Toronto, available 7 days a week from 7 AM to 9 PM. Every drain job includes a camera inspection before quoting — you see exactly what's blocking the line before any work begins. Licensed master plumber, written price, no big-city markup.
Toronto's older housing stock — pre-war rowhouses in Cabbagetown, 1960s bungalows in Scarborough, mid-century semis across East York — all share a common problem: decades of grease, mineral scale, hair, and tree root intrusion inside drain lines that were never designed to last this long. Most plumbers send a snake in blind and hope for the best. We camera the line first, show you the footage, then quote based on what we actually find. Same-day service, flat written price, no Toronto premium. Call 647-778-9411 or fill out the form — most Toronto calls get a plumber at the door within 3–5 hours.
Professional drain cleaning goes beyond pouring a bottle of liquid drain cleaner down the pipe. We use electric drain snakes (augers) to physically break up and pull out blockages, and hydro-jetting equipment for grease and scale buildup that snaking alone won't remove. Every job starts with a camera inspection — a waterproof camera goes into the line so we can see the exact nature and location of the blockage before we quote the repair.
For Toronto homes, common causes are grease and food debris in kitchen drains, hair and soap scum in bathroom lines, and tree root intrusion or cracked pipe sections in main sewer lines — particularly in older neighbourhoods where the drain infrastructure hasn't been replaced since the house was built. Identifying the cause matters: a soft grease blockage and a root ball require different tools, and a cracked pipe that's repeatedly backing up needs repair, not just clearing.
Water draining slower than usual, or a gurgling sound from nearby fixtures when one drain is used — both signal a partial blockage building inside the line.
When more than one drain is slow or backed up simultaneously, the blockage is almost always in the main sewer line, not individual fixture traps.
A persistent sewage or rotten egg smell — especially from floor drains or lower fixtures — indicates a blockage or dried-out trap letting sewer gas back into the home.
Flushing the toilet and seeing water rise in the shower, or running the dishwasher and seeing the kitchen sink back up — classic main line warning signs.
A drain that blocks every few weeks despite clearing isn't a simple clog — it usually indicates root intrusion, pipe scale buildup, or a damaged section that needs camera diagnosis.
The basement floor drain is the lowest point in the system. When it backs up, the entire main line from the house to the 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 you approve a dollar of work.
We charge the same written price across every city we serve. There is no city premium, no postal-code surcharge. The price reflects what needs to be cleared — nothing else.
Every drain job is performed by a licensed and insured master plumber — not a subcontractor. License number T95-4304136, Skilled Trades Ontario.
Available Monday through Sunday, 7 AM to 9 PM. Most Toronto calls get a plumber on-site within 3–5 hours. We give you an honest arrival window when you call.
We carry auger equipment, hydro-jet nozzles, camera inspection gear, and common replacement parts on every service vehicle. Most Toronto drain jobs finish in one visit.
Call 647-778-9411 or fill out the form above. We'll confirm availability and give you an honest arrival window — usually 3–5 hours for Toronto addresses.
We insert the drain camera before touching anything else. You see the footage alongside us — grease buildup, root intrusion, pipe damage, or a simple soft blockage. No guessing.
Based on what the camera finds, we give you a written price. That's what you pay — no hourly meter, no additions after the fact. You approve it or you don't. No pressure.
We clear the drain using the right tool for the blockage type — auger, hydro-jet, or both. Camera check after clearing confirms full flow is restored. We clean up before leaving.
We had a water leak emergency and frantically found Midtown online. He came immediately, found solutions to a complex issue, and was able to repair everything within a couple of hours. He was detailed and honest. Pricing was reasonable. I will recommend to anyone.
Needed an urgent fix on a cracked copper pipe in my basement. Andrei fixed the leak quickly. What I really like is he explains the problem clearly and how he needs to fix it. Excellent service, very reliable. I would recommend for any plumbing work.
Amazing service. They arrived within an hour and unclogged the pipe blocked by the grinder. Fast, clean, professional. Knew exactly what the issue was and fixed it without any drama.
Toronto's oldest neighbourhoods — The Annex, Cabbagetown, Rosedale, and the Junction — have drain infrastructure that in many cases dates back to the early 1900s. Cast iron drain lines in these homes are typically 80 to 100 years old. Cast iron corrodes from the inside out: the surface oxidizes and roughens, which catches grease and debris, and eventually sections crack or collapse. If your drain in one of these neighbourhoods clogs repeatedly despite regular clearing, a camera inspection will usually reveal why — and whether a section needs repair or replacement rather than just clearing.
In the bungalow belt across East York, North York, and Scarborough — homes built in the 1950s and 60s — you're dealing with either cast iron or early PVC drains, and main sewer lines that run under lawns with mature tree canopies. Tree roots find every small crack or joint and grow inside the pipe. If you're getting annual or semi-annual main line blockages, root intrusion is almost certainly the cause. Hydro-jetting cuts the roots back; a camera shows how badly the pipe walls are compromised and whether a longer-term repair is needed.
Toronto condos — downtown, King West, Liberty Village, Midtown — present a different situation. In-suite drains typically connect to shared vertical stacks. If your bathroom or kitchen drain is slow and building management says the stack has been cleared, the blockage is likely in the horizontal run between your unit and the stack. We handle in-suite condo drain work, coordinate access with building management where required, and carry the documentation high-rise buildings need from tradespeople. Call 647-778-9411 — let us know it's a condo and we'll ask the right questions before we arrive.
