Professional Drain & Sewer Cleaning Services

When drains run slow or stop completely, you need professional help fast. Patterson Mechanical provides expert drain and sewer cleaning services throughout Stonewall, Winnipeg, and the Interlake region. Our commercial-grade equipment handles everything from simple sink clogs to major sewer line blockages.

Since 2011, we've cleared thousands of clogged drains for Manitoba homeowners and businesses. We arrive with fully equipped service vehicles, diagnose the problem accurately, and restore proper drainage quickly.

Residential Drain Cleaning

We clear clogs in all household drains using professional equipment that goes beyond what store-bought solutions can achieve:

  • Kitchen drains: Grease buildup, food particles, and soap scum that accumulate over time
  • Bathroom sinks: Hair, soap residue, and toothpaste buildup causing slow drainage
  • Shower and tub drains: Hair clogs and soap scum blocking water flow
  • Toilet clogs: Stubborn blockages that won't clear with a plunger
  • Floor drains: Basement and laundry room drains that back up or smell
  • Laundry drains: Lint, soap, and debris from washing machines

Main Sewer Line Cleaning

When multiple drains back up or you notice sewage odors, the problem is often in your main sewer line. We use heavy-duty drain machines to clear main line blockages caused by:

  • Tree root intrusion: Roots enter through cracks and joints, causing recurring clogs
  • Grease and buildup: Years of accumulated debris narrowing the pipe
  • Foreign objects: Items that shouldn't go down drains causing blockages
  • Pipe damage: Bellied, cracked, or collapsed sections restricting flow
  • Offset joints: Pipe sections that have shifted and catch debris

Root Removal

Tree roots are a major cause of sewer problems in Manitoba, especially in older Winnipeg neighborhoods with mature trees. Roots seek out the moisture in sewer lines and can enter through the smallest cracks or joints. Our drain machines cut through roots and clear the line, restoring proper flow. For recurring root problems, we can discuss long-term solutions including root treatments and pipe repair options.

Camera Inspections

When the cause of a drain problem isn't obvious, a camera inspection reveals exactly what's happening inside your pipes. We insert a specialized camera into the line to identify:

  • Location and nature of blockages
  • Root intrusion points
  • Pipe damage, cracks, or collapse
  • Bellied sections where water pools
  • Pipe material and condition

Camera inspections help us recommend the most effective solution for your specific situation, whether that's drain cleaning, spot repairs, or pipe replacement.

Commercial Drain Cleaning

Businesses face unique drain challenges. Restaurant grease traps, high-volume restrooms, and industrial processes create heavy demands on plumbing systems. We provide commercial drain cleaning services for:

  • Restaurants and food service
  • Retail and office buildings
  • Multi-family residential properties
  • Industrial facilities
  • Schools and institutions

Emergency Drain Service

A backed-up sewer or major drain clog can't wait. When you're dealing with sewage backup, flooding, or a complete drainage failure, call Patterson Mechanical for prompt emergency service. We respond quickly to minimize damage and restore your plumbing to working order.

Preventive Drain Maintenance

Regular drain cleaning prevents emergency situations and keeps your plumbing flowing smoothly. We recommend professional cleaning every 1-2 years for most homes, or more frequently if you have older pipes, large trees near your sewer line, or a history of drain problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my main sewer line is clogged?

Signs of a main sewer line clog include multiple drains backing up at once, gurgling sounds from toilets when other fixtures drain, sewage odors in the basement, and water backing up in floor drains. If you notice these symptoms, call us for professional diagnosis.

Can tree roots damage my sewer line?

Yes, tree roots are a common cause of sewer line problems, especially in older neighborhoods with mature trees. Roots seek moisture and can enter through small cracks or joints in the pipe. We use specialized equipment to cut through roots and clear the line.

How often should I have my drains cleaned?

For most homes, professional drain cleaning every 1-2 years helps prevent major clogs. However, if you have older pipes, large trees near your sewer line, or a history of drain problems, more frequent cleaning may be beneficial.
