Why drain maintenance matters
Most sewer backups are preventable
A blocked or partially obstructed drain doesn't announce itself — it builds slowly over months or years. Grease, soap scum, mineral scale, hair, and root intrusion all accumulate inside your pipes. By the time you notice slow drains or a foul smell, the blockage is already significant. Left unaddressed, a full backup can flood your basement, damage flooring and drywall, and create a serious health hazard. Routine cleaning and periodic camera inspections catch problems early — when they're cheap to fix.
Basement flooding
A backed-up main sewer lateral can push sewage into your basement through floor drains and fixtures — causing thousands in water damage.
Structural pipe damage
Chronic blockages create pressure buildup that accelerates cracking and joint failure in older clay and cast iron pipes.
Health hazards
Sewage backup introduces bacteria, mould, and pathogens into your living space. Remediation is expensive and disruptive.
Landscaping damage
Slow leaks from cracked pipes saturate soil, kill vegetation, and can undermine driveways and foundations over time.
Our cleaning services
Two methods. One goal: a clear, flowing pipe.
BSure uses the right tool for the job. Mechanical cleaning is ideal for soft blockages and routine maintenance. Hydro jetting is the heavy-duty solution for grease buildup, root masses, and scale — and it's the only method that truly cleans the pipe wall, not just punches a hole through the obstruction.
Snaking & augering
Mechanical drain cleaning
A motorized drain snake or auger is fed through the pipe to break up and retrieve blockages. Effective for hair, soft grease clogs, and small root intrusions. Fast, low-cost, and suitable for most routine service calls.
Best for
- Hair and soap clogs
- Kitchen grease blockages
- Toilet obstructions
- Routine maintenance visits
High-pressure water cleaning
Hydro jetting
A high-pressure water jet (up to 4,000 PSI) is directed through the pipe, blasting away grease, scale, mineral deposits, and root masses — and flushing all debris downstream. Unlike snaking, hydro jetting cleans the full pipe wall and leaves it as close to original diameter as possible.
Best for
- Heavy grease and scale buildup
- Root mass removal
- Pre-relining pipe prep
- Commercial kitchens and restaurants
- Recurring blockages that keep coming back
See exactly what's inside
CCTV camera inspection
Before and after every cleaning, we can run a CCTV camera through the line to document the condition of your pipe. You see exactly what we see — cracks, root intrusion, offset joints, or a clean bill of health. Camera inspection is the only way to know for certain what's causing a problem and whether cleaning alone is enough.
Best for
- Diagnosing recurring problems
- Pre-purchase sewer inspections
- Confirming cleaning results
- Identifying pipes that need relining
Warning signs
When to call us
Any one of these symptoms is worth a call. Multiple symptoms at the same time means your main sewer lateral needs attention now.
Slow drains throughout the house
When multiple fixtures drain slowly at the same time, the problem is in the main sewer lateral — not individual drain lines.
Gurgling sounds from drains
Air trapped by a partial blockage escapes through other fixtures, causing gurgling in toilets and floor drains.
Sewage smell indoors
A foul odour from drains or floor drains often means a partial blockage is allowing sewer gas to enter the home.
Water backing up in unexpected places
Running the washing machine causes the toilet to gurgle, or water backs up in the basement floor drain — classic signs of a main line obstruction.
Recurring clogs in the same drain
If the same drain blocks every few months, there's an underlying cause — root intrusion, pipe damage, or a belly in the line — that cleaning alone won't permanently fix.
Wet spots or sinkholes in the yard
Saturated soil above your sewer lateral suggests a leak or crack. A camera inspection will confirm it.
Preventive maintenance
Don't wait for a backup. Schedule ahead.
Most Ottawa Valley homeowners only call a drain cleaner when something goes wrong. But like changing your furnace filter or servicing your septic system, drain maintenance is far cheaper done on a schedule than in an emergency. BSure offers routine cleaning visits for homeowners who want to stay ahead of problems.
A yearly main line cleaning and camera check catches root intrusion and buildup before it becomes a blockage.
Clay and Orangeburg pipe deteriorates faster. More frequent checks protect against sudden failure.
Grease accumulates fast in restaurant and food service drains. Quarterly jetting keeps lines flowing and avoids health code issues.
Removing a tree doesn't remove its roots from your pipes. A post-removal inspection confirms the lateral is clear.
Cleaning not enough? We also do sewer relining.
If a camera inspection reveals cracks, root damage, or a failing pipe, BSure can reline it the same day using the BRAWOLINER® CIPP system — no excavation required.
Not sure what's going on with your drains?
We'll run a camera and give you a straight answer. If cleaning is all you need, we'll clean it. If the pipe needs relining, we'll tell you that too — with the camera footage to prove it.
