It’s a Health and Safety Thing
Properly functioning drainage is a major health and safety concern for homes and businesses. Clogged drains or sewers that are backed up are often unable to get the waste completely out of your house, which can bring in insects, other pests, and even diseases.
Have a drain that smells?
If a drain smells, it may be due to methane gas released from decomposing organic or human waste, indicating that there may be a build-up of material (the start of a clog or a failed P Trap). Identifying and addressing the issue before it gets worse is the smartest move.
We wouldn’t want to breathe that, and we’re quite sure you don’t want to either.
Keeping your drains flowing and functional should be straightforward.
We’ve broken our process down into a few simple steps:
-
- Determine the type of blockage and where it might be (this might also give clues as to the cause)
- Come up with a plan using the best equipment suited for your particular repair.
- We present you with the best way to proceed. There is really only one way to fully fix things correctly. If necessary, we can give you the choice between fixing something quickly and a more long-term solution based on time and budget.
- You give us the go-ahead, and we get to work!
Simple right!? Plumbing shouldn’t be overly complicated and dealing with a plumber shouldn’t be either.
Clogged Kitchen Sinks
Kitchen sinks can be the worst culprit for clogs and blockages due to a build-up of food, grease, and other debris. The severity of a clogged drain depends on the type and location of the obstruction.
Different types of blockages can be caused by things like:
-
- Small amounts of food waste going down and building up over time
- Garburators not fully breaking down your food waste
- Food waste and grease combined (see organic concrete in the dictionary).
Most people know NOT to pour grease down the drain, but all those little bits of extra butter and cooking oil from cleaning cookie sheets and frying pans can add up over time. Once it starts to build, up it catches more and can turn into your own little beaver dam in your drains. That’s when you need help from the pros at Papa’s for drain cleaning services.

How to Fix Clogged Drains
When it comes to fixing clogged drains, there are a few factors that need to be considered to determine the best tools, amount of time, and financial investment needed to fix the issue. The type of blockage decides what tool is best to use to clear it. The size of the blockage and where it is determine the amount of time it will take to clear it. There are many possible solutions to clogged drains, depending on your usage and how easy or hard you are on your drains. Our plumbing experts would be happy to advise you on the best option for your home or business.
Particularly in older homes, the issue could be that the drain or sewer pipe itself is failing. Common causes of drain pipe failure include rusted pipes, cracked drain pipes, or collapsed pipes, all of which can cause a blockage.
If a pipe is damaged, trying to clear the blockage won’t solve the problem, and repairs will be necessary to restore proper drainage. It’s much better to know if a plumbing failure is the cause of the blockage, as we can get it fixed and get you back to normal in no time.
There are ways to keep your drains running free for longer, and the price varies from free (with some effort and mindfulness on your part) to solutions that cost extra money (which include regular cleaning, maintenance, and/or replacements).
If you know what needs to be fixed but need help, or if you don’t know where to start, we are here to provide professional advice and service for all your plumbing needs.
Toilet plunger – Friend or Foe?
Your toilet plunger might not be the friend you always thought it was…
Before you use a plunger to clear a toilet or a kitchen sink, please think about the possibility that all your hard work is making it worse by pushing the blockage and compacting it.

Sewer Smell
If your home or business smells like a sewer, the culprit could be anything from a dry drain trap, a cracked sewer pipe, a hidden blockage, or even a natural gas leak!
Finding the source isn’t just about sniffing around—it requires a trained professional and the right tools to locate the problem without causing further damage. The average homeowner will not necessarily be able to tell the difference between a sewer smell originating from the drain and something more serious, like a natural gas leak. That’s why it’s always better to call a plumber.
At Papa’s Plumbers, we have the experience and equipment to identify the issue quickly and safely, saving you from unnecessary stress (and potentially worsening smells). Don’t let bad odours linger—let us take care of it before it becomes a bigger problem.
Garbage Disposal/Garburator
Garburators are a handy tool to have in the kitchen, but they can come with their fair share of hiccups, too. The most common concerns include clogs from fibrous foods or grease, dull blades that struggle to grind effectively, and unpleasant odours from food buildup. Sometimes, the unit might jam or even stop working altogether due to age or foreign objects.
Do any of these concerns sound familiar? If things have gotten out of hand with your kitchen garbage disposal, don’t worry—Papa’s Plumbers is just a call away to inspect the issue or replace your garburator if necessary.
