Aside from slow drains and standing water in the tub, sink, or shower, there are some other signs that indicate your drains are dirty and in need of professional drain cleaning. Knowing if your drains are struggling can allow you to take actions in cleaning them. By proactively maintaining your drains, you can avoid costly repairs in the future.
Does it take a while for the water and waste to fully clear from your toilet? This isn’t just a nuisance but can signal a potential clog in your drains. Addressing this sooner rather than later can both save you time and money.
If your toilet bowl starts filling with water every time you flush, this is a sure sign that you have a clog in your drains. While plunging can temporarily fix the issue, you should have a professional Mississauga drain cleaning technician take a look.
When drains are clogged, water is forced to move through smaller spaces or to reroute all together. This causes gurgling sounds in the pipelines. If you hear this, it’s definitely time for a drain cleaning.

When many homeowners experience a clogged or dirty drain, the first thing they reach for is a bottle of store-bought chemical drain cleaner. The issue with this is that the active ingredients in chemical drain cleaners are harmful to your plumbing system. Sure, the chemicals do a great job at dissolving clogs, but they continue to work inside the drain, corroding the pipes and creating weak spots that are likely to rupture over time. That’s why it’s important to call Gold Medal Plumbing and Drain when you notice a drain issue. With our drain cleaning in Mississauga, we use safe, effective methods such as augers and hydrojetting to eliminate even the most stubborn clogs.

It is illegal (and not a very environmentally or plumbing friendly practice) to connect any rain or ground water to the sewer or a septic tank. IF, however, you do hookup – at the very least put a trap in the line to keep sewer gas out of the house.
If you’ve installed a new fill valve, and are certain that everything else in the toilet is working properly, leaks could very well be high water pressure. If your water pressure is so high that it leaks past a Fluidmaster 400A or another new ballcock (aka: “toilet fill valve”) – then you NEED a pressure reducing valve. Other water pipes, connectors, clothes washing machine hoses and your water heater could leak or break. Best to get a water pressure regulator if your pressure to the house is more than 60 pounds
Yes, drain pipes do dry out and get real rough. Will it clear up with use? Maybe. Is there anything you can really do about it? Not after the fact. Prevention is best here – try to run some water through infrequently used drains every so often to keep this from happening.
When the lowest plumbing fixture in the house overflows when another fixture (like a clothes washing machine) is draining; most commonly the septic tank needs to be pumped, there is a break in the sewer pipe outside the house or the main drain is plugged somewhere. However, the washing machine line could be connected to close to the “suds rinse zone”, meaning the washer waste ties into the waste or soil line of another fixture too close downstream from the problem fixture. What is happening is the water is rushing by the suds at a high velocity, pushing ahead of the suds. Because the fixture is the closest place of relief, the suds will come up into the fixture, even a toilet. The code requires that a washing machine, kitchen sink, shower, and dishwasher line be connected at least 5′ downstream from any fixture branch. This could be just one of many possibilities for the bubbling and backup. We strongly recommend contacting a licensed plumber to help you diagnose your individual situation.
