Clearing drains and sewer lines properly
A slow sink or a backed-up floor drain is rarely a one-time problem. Bremner's clears residential and commercial drains using mechanical snaking for localized blockages and high-pressure jetting for heavier buildup in main lines and sewer laterals. Jetting scours the full inside diameter of the pipe, removing grease, scale and sludge rather than just punching a hole through it.
Our crews handle kitchen, bathroom, laundry and floor drains, main building drains, and the sewer connection running out to the street. We work in older Halifax homes with cast iron and clay lines as well as newer PVC systems.

What causes clogs
Most blockages come from grease and food waste in kitchen lines, hair and soap scum in bathrooms, and wipes or other products that should not be flushed. In sewer laterals, tree roots are a common culprit, entering through joints and cracks and catching debris. Older lines can also sag or shift, creating low spots where waste settles.
Emergency call or routine visit?
Call right away if sewage is backing up into a fixture or floor drain, if multiple fixtures are draining slowly at once, or if water is overflowing. These point to a main line problem that can cause property damage. Our 24/7 line is (902) 453-4800.
A single slow drain, gurgling sounds, or recurring odours can usually be booked as routine service during business hours. Businesses with heavy kitchen use often benefit from scheduled cleaning to prevent problems before they start.
Camera inspection and Bio-Clean
When a blockage keeps coming back, our 200 ft video camera inspection system lets us see inside the line to find roots, breaks, offsets or buildup. That way repairs are targeted rather than guessed.
For ongoing care between visits, we sell Bio-Clean enzyme treatment, a natural product that digests organic buildup and helps keep lines flowing.
