COUPONS
Save $10 on Any Drain Cleaning Service
Most plumbing calls come down to a short list of recurring problems - slow drains, leaking fixtures, water heaters that stop performing, and pipes that lose pressure unexpectedly. Understanding the likely cause behind each symptom helps homeowners describe the issue clearly when calling for service and helps technicians arrive prepared to fix it.
Slow or Backed-Up Drains
A drain that slows gradually has usually accumulated a buildup of hair, soap residue, and grease on the P-trap walls and further down the line. A drain that backs up suddenly - especially if multiple fixtures are affected - suggests a blockage in the main line rather than an individual branch. Roto-Rooter technicians differentiate between the two with a camera inspection, then apply the right clearing method: augering for localized clogs, hydro jetting for main-line buildup.
Water Heater Problems
A water heater that rumbles during the heating cycle has typically accumulated sediment at the base of the tank. The sediment insulates the water from the heating element or burner, forcing the unit to run longer and hotter. A failing anode rod allows corrosion to attack the tank wall. Thermostat failure results in inconsistent temperature, and a faulty pressure relief valve is a safety issue requiring prompt replacement. Roto-Rooter technicians inspect each component and recommend repair or replacement based on the unit's condition.
Pipe Leaks and Pressure Loss
Low water pressure at a single fixture usually points to a clogged aerator or a partially closed shutoff valve. Low pressure throughout the house suggests a leak in the main supply line or a supply issue upstream. Visible pipe leaks at joints or fittings indicate deteriorated seals or fittings that have shifted over time. Roto-Rooter identifies the source and repairs the affected section, matching materials to the existing pipe type - copper, PEX, galvanized, or PVC.
Running Toilets
A toilet that runs continuously is usually a flapper that no longer seats properly, a float set too high, or a fill valve that has worn past its useful life. Left unaddressed, a running toilet wastes a significant volume of water per day. The repair is typically straightforward - component inspection, identification of the faulty part, and replacement with a compatible part.

Frequently Asked Questions in Thornhill
How can I contact my local Roto-Rooter?
Please visit our locations page to find the nearest Roto-Rooter.
What can I do to keep my drains from clogging so often?
Most recurring drain clogs come from grease, hair, and soap buildup that coat pipe walls over time. Avoid pouring fats down the drain, use a hair catcher in shower drains, and run hot water after each use. For pipes that clog repeatedly, Roto-Rooter offers hydro jetting to scour buildup from the pipe wall entirely, extending the time between service calls significantly. Call 416-503-4444 to set up preventive drain cleaning.
My basement drain backs up every time it rains hard — what should I do?
A basement floor drain that backs up during heavy rain is usually overwhelmed by an overloaded municipal line or a partial blockage in your building drain. Drain cleaning with a power auger or hydro jet removes the restriction so water can exit freely. Roto-Rooter in Thornhill, ON diagnoses which part of the line is failing before clearing it so the fix lasts. Call 416-503-4444 to schedule service.
Is there someone I can call for a burst pipe in the middle of the night?
Burst pipes cannot wait until morning because water damage spreads fast. Roto-Rooter operates around the clock, every day of the year, with no extra charge for nights or weekends. Call 416-503-4444 any time and a technician will arrive promptly to shut off the flow, repair the break, and begin water damage restoration if needed — keeping the situation from getting worse.
How do I know if I have a hidden water leak inside my walls?
Hidden leaks often show up as unexplained spikes in your water bill, damp drywall, or a musty smell near plumbing walls. Roto-Rooter uses pressure testing and moisture detection to locate the source without unnecessary demolition. Once found, our crew repairs the pipe and can assess any resulting water damage on the same visit. Call 416-503-4444 to book an inspection.
My toilet keeps running for minutes after I flush — what's causing that?
A running toilet usually means the flapper valve inside the tank is worn or the float is set too high, so water keeps trickling into the bowl. Roto-Rooter technicians inspect the fill valve, flapper, and overflow tube, then replace the faulty part so the tank seals correctly. Call 416-503-4444 to schedule a repair visit.
