Understanding Sewer and Drain Cleaning
Sewer and drain cleaning is the process of clearing blockages and buildup from your property’s sewer and storm lines. Over time, everyday use leads to clogs caused by grease, wipes, tree roots, and other debris. At JP Carey Sewer Cleaning, we use industrial-grade augers and specialized equipment to restore proper flow quickly and safely, far beyond what DIY tools can achieve.
The Importance of Sewer and Drain Cleaning
Regular cleaning is essential for a healthy plumbing system. Many homeowners go 20–30 years without cleaning their lines, which can result in severe blockages, backups, and even basement flooding. Preventive maintenance protects your property and saves thousands in potential repairs.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
It’s important to note that sewer maintenance is not just the city’s job. Homeowners are responsible for maintaining their sewer lines and installing cleanouts so professionals can access and service them. Neglecting this can lead to compliance issues and costly damage.
Signs Your Property Needs Sewer and Drain Cleaning
If you notice any of these warning signs, it may be time to call a professional.
Toilets not flushing properly.
Gurgling sounds in tubs or sinks.
Water backing up into the basement.
Slow-draining sinks or tubs.
Persistent foul odours from drains.
These symptoms often indicate blockages or backups in sewer or storm lines that require professional attention and drain cleaning solutions.
Why DIY Isn’t Enough
Store-bought augers and plungers rarely solve the root problem, and they often cost you more in the long run. Instead of wasting time and money on temporary fixes, investing in professional help is the best you can do for a definite solution. JP Carey Sewer Cleaning uses industrial-grade augers and high-powered equipment, combined with decades of expertise, to clear even the toughest blockages quickly and effectively.

OUR CLIENTS SAY
I Was so Impressed
“I didn't contact this business first and I should have as would have saved myself a lot of money and worry. I realized I had a block in water/wastewater somewhere. When I flushed the toilet, the drain in the sink gurgled. I called a plumbing business to help me. After a few hours, a possible location of sewage block was identified but were unable to open the line. This morning, I was given the name of John Carey. John's guys arrived in about 10 minutes, and after telling them about the sink gurgling, they knew what was wrong and within 30-40 minutes lines were all clear in the house, and from house to the street. And for a very reasonable price. they explained what they were doing, drew me diagrams of how these blocks happen and they guarantee their work. Call the experts at John P Carey Sewer and Drain Cleaning. I am so impressed. Thank you for helping us out today.”
