Expert Drain Services in Niagara Falls: Protecting Your Home Starts Below Ground

When a drain backs up in Niagara Falls, it doesn’t just cause a mess—it can disrupt your life, damage your foundation, and lead to expensive repairs. With over 45 years of local experience, McDowell Drain Services has become the go-to solution for homeowners and businesses seeking fast, reliable, and long-term drainage solutions across the Niagara Region.

We specialize in diagnosing and solving the most common—and the most complex—drain issues. Our fully licensed and insured team offers:

  1. Drain Repair & Replacement: Whether it’s a collapsed clay pipe, tree root intrusion, or a deteriorated cast iron drain, our team uses advanced diagnostics (like camera inspections) to pinpoint issues. We offer both traditional excavation and trenchless solutions depending on your needs and budget.
  2. Clogged Drain Services: Slow drains? Gurgling sounds? Foul smells? We handle everything from kitchen sink clogs to full sewer blockages using hydro-jetting, snaking, and non-invasive cleaning techniques.
  3. Drain Camera Inspections: We use HD camera technology to inspect underground lines without digging, ensuring precise diagnosis and prevention of recurring issues.
  4. Storm Drain & Sewer Line Services: Drainage problems during Niagara’s heavy rain seasons are common. We repair, replace, and maintain stormwater systems, ensuring your property stays dry during even the worst downpours.

We proudly provide 24/7 emergency and scheduled services across the entire Niagara Region, including:
St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, Welland, Thorold, Fort Erie, Grimsby, Niagara on the Lake, Lincoln, West Lincoln, Pelham, Wainfleet, Port Colborne

Whether you’re in a historic neighborhood or a modern build, we tailor our solutions to your home’s age, layout, and local soil conditions.

In early March, a homeowner in north Niagara Falls contacted us with a severe basement backup caused by a collapsed sewer line. Within hours, our team performed a camera inspection, identified the rupture, and provided a quote. Using trenchless drain replacement, we repaired the line in under two days—without disturbing the landscaping or driveway.

Result? Zero damage, happy customer, and a dry basement just before a major rainfall hit.
