Bathroom Drains: Shower & Sink

Bathroom drains handle hair, shaving cream, toothpaste, and soap residue every day – which all combine into stubborn gunk. At The Gentlemen Pros, we’re Edmonton’s go-to team for keeping bathroom drains flowing smoothly.

“Fantastic service. Conrad was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, professional and easy to work with. He clearly explained every aspect of what he was seeing on our hot water tank, what he felt needed to be replaced/fixed and what was still fully functional/safe. He took us through the Gentlemen Pros procedures and their guarantees, the warranty they provide on their work, and every step in the scope of work he was quoting. My wife and I felt comfortable having Conrad in our home from the moment he arrived, which is hard to put a price on. Thank you very much, Conrad!” Nathan B

Hard Water Effects on Bathroom Drains

Edmonton’s water supply is loaded with calcium and magnesium, which means scale. Over time, these minerals build up inside drain pipes, narrowing them just enough to catch soap residue and lint. Unlike smooth PVC or copper pipes, scaled-up lines get rough inside, almost like sandpaper. This accelerates how quickly hair and grime latch on – and why many Edmonton homeowners deal with chronic slow bathroom drains.

The Truth About Chemical Drain Cleaners

A lot of homeowners grab the bottle of drain opener from the grocery store. But most chemical products only punch a hole through soft buildup – they don’t clear the full pipe wall. Worse, they can weaken old pipe joints and create heat pockets that crack PVC. If you have recurring slow drains in Edmonton, it’s almost always due to leftover sludge or scale lining the pipe that only mechanical cleaning (snaking or jetting) can fix.

Why Hydro Jetting Works Better

A drain snake is great for grabbing hair or poking through a clog. But it only clears a narrow path. Hydro jetting, on the other hand, uses 1,500–4,000 PSI water jets to clear out the entire inner surface of your pipe. It cuts through grease, scale, and soap sludge, restoring your pipe almost back to its original diameter. That’s why we often recommend it for Edmonton bathrooms that keep slowing down after “regular” cleanings.

 

Venting & Improper Slope Problems

A surprising number of Edmonton bathroom issues come from things you can’t see:

  • Improper drain slopes (or backfall) cause water to pool instead of fully washing away debris.
  • Missing or clogged vent stacks mean air can’t flow behind draining water, leading to noisy drains and slow flow.
  • Some older bathrooms use outdated S-traps, which lose their water seal and let sewer gases back up.

We diagnose these hidden issues and can retrofit your drains or add air admittance valves to improve flow.
