Garage drain cleaning — Plomberie JG

Garage drain cleaning in Greater Montréal: let the meltwater drain away

Snow melts under the car but the water stays on the floor? We clean garage drains in Greater Montréal to clear deposits and let the water flow away.

Have my drain cleaned

Sand comes in with the car, then stays in the drain

During winter, vehicles bring in sand, gravel and de-icing residue. Mixed with oils, this material builds up in the drain. At thaw, water struggles to leave and odors settle in.

Clogged garage drain: getting good drainage back

Sediment removed, line cleared and, in repair shops, oil separator cleaned. We work according to the deposits and how your garage is used.

Garage drain cleaning: sand, salt, oils and separators

  1. Sand, gravel and limestone

    After the cold season, material carried in by tires can clog the floor drain. Removing it clears the collection point in attached or detached garages.

  2. Clogged lines

    Behind the grate, the blockage can extend into the line. We use the snake or the hydrojet depending on the obstruction to clear the way for the water.

  3. Workshops and oil separators

    Oils, grease and automotive fluids call for special attention in commercial garages. The service includes drain cleaning and maintenance of oil separators in mechanical shops.

Garage drain: price, best timing and process

How much does garage drain cleaning cost?

The price depends on the number of drains, the thickness of the deposits and the presence of an oil separator. A free quote is provided before the service call.

When should a garage drain be cleaned?

In spring, after winter buildup of sand and salt, or as soon as water stands for a long time or odors appear. A workshop may need a different schedule.

How does the cleaning work?

We remove the sediment, clear the line with a snake or hydrojet and clean the oil separator if present. A camera may be suggested if the problem returns.

A method suited to the blockage

Garage drain cleaning is one of the specialties added with the acquisition of Patrick Drain in 2026. Depending on the blockage, we clear the connected lines with the snake or the hydrojet; a camera inspection may be suggested if the problem returns or an odor persists.

Questions about this service

When should cleaning be scheduled after winter?

In spring, we recommend cleaning the drain after winter buildup of sand and de-icing residue. In a workshop, oils and activity may call for a different schedule. Seasonal maintenance is set according to your garage’s conditions.

Does a bad smell justify an inspection?

When an odor persists, we can suggest a camera inspection to look for a problem in the line. The odor alone does not reveal the cause. Report any slowdowns or backups you have seen to help us guide the search.

Why does the water stay away from the grate?

If water pools away from the drain while the drain is working, we distinguish an obstruction from a slope problem. Cleaning removes accumulated material but does not change the floor. These observations help us discuss what to plan next.
