Montreal Homeowner’s Checklist: Prevent Backups with Smart Drain Cleaning, Hydro‑Jetting, and Camera Inspections

Clogged or slow drains don’t have to derail your day. In Greater Montreal, freeze–thaw cycles, tree roots, and everyday buildup make proactive care essential. Drain Puissant keeps homes in Montreal, Laval, and the South Shore flowing with expert drain cleaning, powerful hydro‑jetting, and precise drain camera inspection.

Early warning signs your drain needs attention

  • Gurgling sounds after showers or laundry
  • Water pooling in tubs or floor drains
  • Recurring slow sinks even after using safe enzyme cleaners
  • Sewer odours near basements or utility rooms
  • Backups during heavy rain or spring melt

If these symptoms show up, scheduling professional drain cleaning now can prevent bigger repairs later.

Why hydro‑jetting clears what other methods can’t

Hydro‑jetting uses high‑pressure water to scour the full diameter of your line, blasting away grease, scale, sludge, and small intruding roots. Unlike basic snaking that punches a hole through a clog, jetting restores flow and helps prevent rapid re‑clogging. It’s ideal for kitchen stacks, main lines, and older pipes when performed by experienced technicians.

When a drain camera inspection is the smartest move

A drain camera inspection pinpoints the exact cause and location of trouble, so you only pay for the solution you actually need. Book one if:

  • You’ve had two or more backups in six months
  • You’re buying, selling, or renovating a property
  • Trees are near your lateral line (common with mature streetscapes)
  • You notice cracks, dips, or shifting soil outdoors

Emergency drain cleaning: what to do right now

  1. Stop running water and avoid using appliances that drain (dishwasher, washing machine).
  2. If safe, remove standing water around floor drains to reduce overflow risks.
  3. Call Drain Puissant for emergency drain cleaning—we prioritize urgent backups and arrive with the right gear to restore flow fast.

How often should you schedule maintenance?

  • Busy households or short runs with lots of turns: annual drain cleaning.
  • Homes with mature trees or prior blockages: annual inspection with jetting every 12–18 months.
  • New‑to‑you properties: baseline drain camera inspection to map the line and catch issues early.

What affects cost?

Pricing depends on access points, severity and type of blockage, pipe material and condition, and whether hydro‑jetting or advanced diagnostics are required. A quick phone assessment helps us estimate before we roll.
