See full review on GoogleClogged Toilet: Fast Intervention in Montreal
A toilet clogged by wipes or by an object is rarely solved by a plunger. We arrive with a closet auger adapted for toilet bowls, and if needed, we remove the toilet to retrieve the object. No chemicals poured into the bowl. For an overflowing or clogged toilet, the unclogging service is available 24/7.
Bowl (WC) Won't Drain
If water rises immediately in the bowl after the flush — especially if you are not on the ground floor — the clog is in the toilet trap in most cases. This complete blockage stops water from draining normally. We quickly clear blockages in the trap caused by toilet paper, wipes or dropped objects, without having to remove the toilet.
Overflowing Toilet
An overflowing toilet indicates a severe blockage in the line or a sewer backup problem. For an overflowing toilet, the unclogging service is available 24/7 — see our emergency unclogging. Recurring problem? A camera inspection can help show what's happening in the line, and a sewer line cleaning may be the next step.
Toilet Clogged by Wipes
Even labelled "flushable", wet wipes do not dissolve. They catch in the line, build up a dam and end up blocking the bowl. We arrive with a closet auger adapted for toilet bowls and, if needed, we remove the toilet to retrieve the wipes or the object — no chemical poured into the drain. If the problem comes back, the blockage may extend beyond the toilet — our main-drain service covers larger drainage-system blockages.
Toilet Removal & Larger Drain Problems
Not every toilet problem stays at the surface. Sometimes clearing it means removing the toilet, and sometimes the real issue is farther down the line — or it's simply time for a new one.
A Blockage the Toilet Has to Come Out For
Some clogs sit too deep in the trap for an auger to reach, or an object needs to be retrieved directly. When that happens, we remove the toilet, clear the blockage, and reinstall it — reseated properly with a new seal.
Is It Just the Toilet, or the Main Line?
Gurgling in other fixtures, more than one drain slowing down at the same time, or a backup that keeps coming back can mean the problem isn't the toilet at all. A camera inspection can help show what's happening in the line, and a main-drain clearing may be the actual fix.
Ready to Replace It?
An old, cracked or failing toilet doesn't need to wait for a full renovation. If you already have a replacement ready, we remove the old toilet and install the new one.
Toilet Installation and Replacement in Montreal
Good to know
For a toilet replacement, we handle the removal of the old toilet, a new wax ring, and the installation of the new toilet. In Montreal duplexes and triplexes, the access and the older plumbing call for extra care.
New Toilet Installation
You buy the toilet, we handle the install. Each installation includes a new wax ring (or a silicone seal for heated floors), new bolts if the old ones are rusted, leveling the bowl and a finishing sealant around the base. The toilet is tested at full flush before we leave the site.
Toilet Replacement in Montreal Duplexes and Triplexes
Montreal duplexes and triplexes often have tight access, older floors and non-standard drain flanges. We adapt the install to the building: leveling shims and a bowl choice compatible with the existing rough-in to avoid unnecessary masonry work.
Older Montreal Buildings
In older Montreal buildings, the toilet flange may be lead, the floor may have shifted, and the line may be cast iron. We work with the original plumbing: leveling of the bowl and a seal adapted to the type of drain, and we'll let you know if the flange condition needs to be addressed before installing.
Toilet Enemy #1: "Flushable" Wipes
Warning
Even if the packaging says "flushable", it is a marketing myth that costs Montreal homeowners dearly.
Unlike toilet paper which dissolves into mush in seconds when it touches water, wet wipes (baby, makeup remover or cleaning) are made of woven synthetic fibers. They stay intact in your drains.
- They do not dissolve: They travel whole through your pipes.
- They create dams: A single wipe caught on a small imperfection in a cast iron or PVC pipe can hold back all the other waste that passes, creating a solid blockage in days.
- They block backwater valves: By accumulating, they can prevent your safety valve from closing, exposing you to municipal sewer backups.
The golden rule
Only toilet paper and human organic waste belong in the toilet. Everything else (wipes, paper towels, dental floss, hygiene products) goes in the trash. If a clog forms, our emergency service can intervene, and if the blockage extends beyond the toilet, our main-drain service covers larger drainage-system blockages.
Other Common Toilet Problems in Montreal
Good to know
Montreal has a wide variety of buildings, from old stone construction to recent condos. Each type of building has its plumbing quirks, which leads to several recurring problems we solve every day.
- Toilet that gurgles or bubbles — sign of a partially blocked line or an early sewer backup.
- Bad odors coming from the toilet — ventilation issue or poorly sealed joint that needs a professional check.
- Object dropped into the toilet (toy, brush, phone) — a common issue in family homes; extraction without damaging the plumbing.
- Clogged toilets in Montreal duplexes and triplexes — older soil stacks, narrow lines or buildup on upper floors. A sewer line cleaning may be needed.
These situations often get worse if ignored. Thanks to our experience in Montreal's different neighborhoods, we quickly identify the cause of the blockage and apply the safest method to restore normal flow.
Our Toilet Service Process
A fast, professional process to make your toilet work properly, adapted to the configuration of your bathroom and your existing installation.
1. Diagnostic
From your call, we already know what the job involves. Two key questions: which floor is the toilet on, and does the water rise immediately when you flush? If you are on an upper floor, we can often solve the problem without removing the toilet. If you are on the ground floor and the water does not rise immediately, we know we need to remove the toilet to go further down the line.
2. Price Announced Before Work
Before starting, we clearly explain what the job involves — simple unclogging, toilet removal, or installation — and we announce the price before work begins. No hidden fees, no surprises on the bill. You give the green light before we touch the toilet.
3. Unclog, Remove or Install
We know when to push the cable and when to pull it back to avoid kinking it in the drain. If the toilet needs to come out to clear the blockage, we remove it, clear the line, and reinstall it. For an installation, we handle the removal of the old bowl, a new wax ring and the placement of the new toilet.
4. Test and Cleanup
The toilet is on a 3-inch line that also receives the shower and the sink. The real test: once the toilet is back in place, we flush to flood the line in one shot and see how it handles the load. Each reinstall includes a new wax ring (or a silicone seal if the floor is heated), new bolts if needed, and a finishing sealant. The bathroom is left clean.
