Who should you call when your drains
stop working?
stop working?
A drainage problem often raises several questions. Should you stop using the plumbing? Is the blockage affecting just one fixture? Will a wall need to be opened or a pipe replaced?
Espoir Débouchage provides emergency plumbing services in Laval for blocked drains, obstructed pipes and sewer backups. Since 2013, our company has specialized in drain cleaning and drainage system diagnostics.
When should you call an

When water backs up into a plumbing fixture, a fixture overflows or several drains become unusable, it is best to call for service rather than repeatedly attempt to clear the blockage.
Slow drainage also deserves attention, especially if it worsens or is accompanied by backups. You don’t need to wait until water reaches the floor to have a pipe checked.
Our emergency plumbing service in Laval is available 24/7. Arrival times depend on ongoing service calls, traffic and our team’s availability.
Can you keep using other plumbing fixtures and appliances?
It depends on which pipe is affected. A blocked sink may have a problem confined to its own drain line, but several fixtures can also share part of the drainage system.
If using a toilet, shower or washing machine causes water to back up elsewhere, stop using the affected fixtures and appliances. Adding water can make the backup worse.
When the technician arrives, explain how using one fixture affects the others. This information helps direct the investigation to the right part of the system.
Does a wall need to be opened or
excavation required to clear a drain?
excavation required to clear a drain?
A blocked drain does not automatically mean demolition work is needed. Depending on the layout of the drainage system, the work may be carried out through an existing access point.
Drain and sewer cleaning focuses first on clearing the blockage with suitable equipment. If damage is suspected, further investigation may be needed before considering repairs.
Drain line locating can then help trace the route of a pipe or pinpoint an issue. This helps target any necessary work more precisely.
Is a camera inspection needed
for every drain cleaning?
for every drain cleaning?
Not necessarily. An isolated problem that is easy to access does not always require the same approach as a persistent blockage.
A drain camera inspection may be appropriate when symptoms are difficult to explain, the same drain repeatedly becomes blocked or a pipe defect is suspected.
It allows us to examine accessible sections for buildup, tree roots or other issues. The findings can then help determine whether cleaning, root removal or other work is needed.
Why does the problem return after drain cleaning?
Water flow may be restored while buildup remains inside the pipe. In other cases, a pipe defect or root intrusion can contribute to recurring blockages.
Depending on the pipe’s condition, high-pressure drain cleaning may be considered to dislodge deposits. If roots are present, removing them does not necessarily repair their entry point.
The goal is to understand what is causing the blockage before repeating the same service.
Does an unpleasant odour also require drain cleaning?
A sewer odour and a blockage do not always indicate the same problem. Even when water drains properly, an opening or defect in the system may require a separate investigation.
Smoke testing is one method that can help identify air leakage paths and defects. It can also help locate potential entry points when rats are suspected of travelling through the pipes.
