Frequently Asked Questions
Is DrainFast the company that clears the drain?
DrainFast is a referral network — we connect you with independent, local drain cleaning professionals rather than sending our own crew. Licensing and insurance can be confirmed directly with the technician before work begins.
Can tree roots really get into a drain line?
Yes — roots are drawn to the moisture inside drain and sewer lines and can enter through small cracks or joints, gradually causing blockages or pipe damage. This is a common cause of recurring main line backups.
Will a chemical drain cleaner fix this myself?
Store-bought chemical cleaners can sometimes clear minor clogs, but they often just push the blockage further down the line rather than removing it, and repeated use can damage older pipes. For a persistent or full blockage, mechanical clearing is usually more effective.
Do you handle both emergency and non-urgent drain cleaning?
Yes. Our Markham area network handles everything from active backups to slower clogs that just need to get scheduled and cleared properly.
What should I do while waiting for a technician to arrive?
Avoid running additional water into the affected drain, and don't use chemical drain cleaners right before a technician arrives, since residual chemicals can be a safety concern during mechanical clearing.
