We will send one of our certified plumbers to your home to evaluate the situation that requires residential drain cleaning. Our plumbers will arrive in our company uniform, so you will know it is us! We will inspect the issue and let you know our findings. Next, we’ll explain how we’ll rectify it and provide you with a quote before going ahead and starting the job. You can rest easy knowing there won’t be any nasty surprises when using our services.

Plumbing Inspections

The first crucial step before any cleaning takes place is our plumbing diagnosis and inspection service, during which we use our professional plumbing camera equipment to inspect your pipes’ interior. Besides locating the drain clog, the camera is able to tell us your pipe’s age, material, and overall condition. We will base our drain cleaning service on the ultimate findings of that inspection.

Professional Drain Cleaning Methods

Once we’ve determined your drain lines are healthy and you have agreed on the work that we have proposed, we will go ahead with drain cleaning. Vancouver homes tend to benefit the most from one of two different methods used to deal with drainage issues.

One method involves our safe, high-pressure hydro-jetting service, HydroScrub® jetting. This involves using industrial-grade equipment, which will remove anything that has become sealed to your pipes, sending it away for good. This will leave your drains sparkling clean, so it's a very effective method of drain cleaning. Vancouver homeowners should be aware, however, that sometimes it can be better for an obstruction to be removed physically from the pipe, such as when dealing with clogged toilets. We will utilize a toilet auger or other specialized plumbing equipment if this is the case. This will be inserted into the drain and twisted into the obstruction. This way, we can pull it back and restore your drains’ performance.

Courteous, Clean Service and Guaranteed Workmanship

While providing services such as drain cleaning, our plumbing professionals treat your property as if it were our own, and we always clean up any mess that we have made once the job is done. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask us during your appointment or before we leave following your service for drain cleaning. Vancouver homeowners can rely on the fact that all our workmanship and parts are guaranteed, so you can have the peace of mind that comes from knowing when you call Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Vancouver BC, you are in the best of hands.

Our Environmental Values

Not only do we value the safety of your family, but also the environment. This is why we never use harmful chemical cleaners. Chemical drain cleaners, if used too frequently, can damage and corrode your drain pipes. We only use the most effective and safest methods when cleaning the drains in your home.

None of our methods contain damaging or toxic chemicals that could harm your health or corrode your pipes. The HydroScrub® jetting we mentioned above is completely safe and non-toxic because we use biodegradable solutions for drain cleaning. Vancouver residents can rest assured that our methods are safe and environmentally friendly drain maintenance that restores their plumbing system’s condition. This drain care treatment utilizes bacteria to consume the contents that tend to usually be found in a blocked drain, such as grease, oils, fats, and organic material. It is an exceptional product in terms of preventing drainage problems in the future with professional drain cleaning. Vancouver drain cleaning experts are also highly trained in using machine drain augers properly without creating any damage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vancouver Drain Cleaning

What Causes Clogged Drains in Vancouver?

You’ll always know when something is out of the ordinary with their pipes. Clogged drains are often the result of years of buildup that includes mineral deposits, food particles, cooking oil, toothpaste, and soap scum. There are a lot of myths out there regarding drains and what does and does not clog them up. A lot of people in Vancouver are shocked to hear about some of the biggest offenders on the list.

For example, the worst is oil and grease because, once cooled, they begin to solidify inside your pipes and attract any other debris that tries to flow past them. This is how pipe walls begin to narrow and cause the problems that you are facing.

The same thing happens when washing food waste down the kitchen sink, especially grains that expand, like pasta, rice, and quinoa. Certain types of food waste shouldn’t even go in your garbage disposal, as they can clog and jam the device.

If you believe you have fallen victim to clogged drains due to the scenarios mentioned above and need drain cleaning, Vancouver drain cleaning experts are here to help.

Let’s take a look at some of the most common errors that people tend to make that end up in them needing drain cleaning:

• Washing food waste down the drain: Food will start layering onto the walls of your pipes and cause blockages.
• Pouring grease down the kitchen sink: Hot grease may seem harmless, but it does not stay liquid for very long. Furthermore, hot cooking oil can damage your waste lines. It will also build up and clog your drains. You may think a little teaspoon won’t hurt, but over time, it will.
• Small toys end up down the toilet: This is a problem that a lot of parents can relate to. If you have small children, there is no telling what could be causing a clogged toilet until you get a Vancouver drain cleaning expert.
• You hear gurgling noises as you flush: This happens when there is only a small passage for waste to get through due to a buildup. When it’s time for drain cleaning, our Vancouver plumbers are at your disposal with trusted drain inspection, repair, and cleaning services.
• Water is standing in your sink before flowing down the drain: A slow drain issue always indicates a kind of a clog. It may be nearby and minor but could develop into a bigger problem if you don’t unclog it soon.
• The toilet is taking longer to flush: There might be a formation of a clog that needs drain cleaning. Vancouver residents who call a drain cleaning expert sooner rather than later can eliminate the risks of serious damage.
• You have a busy household: It’s difficult to keep track of how the people in your household treat your home’s pipework system. They might be grinding bones in the garbage disposal or flushing an excessive amount of toilet paper down the toilet.
• Moving into a new home: You won’t know how much the previous owner cared for the existing pipes unless you have written proof that they’ve had services for drain cleaning. Vancouver homeowners should always receive plumbing documentation when possible.
• Bad odors from drains: It may be a nearby clog, such as a clogged P-trap, or an issue further down the drain.
• Flushing bathroom products: Feminine hygiene products, dental floss, and other common bathroom products should always be disposed of outside your plumbing system.

If you suspect your wastewater lines have endured one or more of these common errors, it may be best to schedule a cleaning service to fix a potential drain problem before it becomes an expensive emergency that requires costly repairs. Our Vancouver drain cleaning services are designed to meet all your needs for preventative maintenance that protects your pipes from deterioration and damage.

How Do You Know What Caused a Clogged Drain?

Until a certified plumber assesses the problem, it is difficult to say what the issue is that is calling for drain cleaning. Vancouver plumbing professionals will tell you there are various methods for discovery. However, this is not something that can be done without the correct technology, training, and equipment.

One of the reasons that clogs are so common is that there are so many issues that lead to clogged drainage systems. This includes environmental obstructions like poorly installed pipes, the human errors we mentioned above, and tree roots growing into your sewer pipe, but it also includes simpler obstructions from something like a buildup of paper towels or other debris inside your lines.

Another potential problem that nature can bring along is shifting soil, during which your sewer lateral could suffer from cracks and start leaking water into the soil that attracts tree roots. What is vital to bear in mind here is that obstructions like this are not related to how well your plumbing is maintained from inside your home. Of course, there is no denying that it is important to maintain your drains properly.

Luckily, you can still take preventative measures to protect your sewer lines and minimize drain issues by having one of our professional technicians examine your landscaping and installing protective plumbing devices, such as backwater valves or a sump pump.
