Browse feedback by service type and see why Toronto homeowners and property managers call Canadian Rooter for urgent drain problems, camera inspections, sewer repairs, and basement flood protection.
Drain Snaking
“The Leslieville kitchen sink would drain for a day, then slow right back down. Canadian Rooter pulled back a grease-packed cable head, flushed the cast iron branch, and showed us the spot where food waste was catching.”
Main Backups
“Our East York basement drain backed up after the dishwasher and laundry ran together. The crew opened the main, found roots at an older clay joint, and explained why the timing made the backup worse.”
Camera Inspection
“The RIDGID camera showed the exact joint where roots were entering our High Park sewer lateral. Seeing the footage and surface locator mark made the repair decision much less stressful.”
Waterproofing
“After repeated lake-effect rain, water started showing at the cold room wall in our Beaches home. Canadian Rooter checked the exterior grade, weeping tile path, and sump discharge before recommending the fix.”
Yard Drainage
“Our North York yard stayed soft for days because runoff sat against the rear patio. They corrected the collection point, tied the drain into a proper outlet path, and left the grading cleaner than expected.”
Drain Snaking
“The upstairs bath in our Junction house would gurgle whenever the tub emptied. They cleared the line, tested the fixture several times, and explained why hair and old galvanized piping were slowing it down.”
Main Backups
“A sewer smell near the Scarborough basement floor drain turned into a main line restriction. They cleared it, checked flow from multiple fixtures, and told us which warning signs meant we should book a camera inspection.”
Camera Inspection
“For our Annex rental, the camera showed a low belly under the slab instead of a full collapse. That detail saved us from guessing and helped us plan the repair around the tenant schedule.”
Waterproofing
“After a heavy rain in Etobicoke, water appeared near the finished basement trim. The team separated the likely foundation seepage from the drain issues and helped us prioritize what had to be handled first.”
Toronto has more than one kind of drainage problem. The Beaches and High Park often involve older laterals and mature roots; Riverdale, East York, and The Junction can bring clay tile, cast iron, and tight basement access; downtown properties may deal with shared drains or restaurant grease; and Scarborough or North York homes still need clear grading, sump discharge, and reliable private drains.
