This is the first thing to work out, because it changes everything.

One fixture is slow or blocked — a sink, a tub, a single toilet. That's a local clog in that fixture's drain. Usually straightforward.

Several fixtures are backing up at once, or the toilet gurgles when you run the washing machine — that's the main line, not the fixture. It's a bigger problem, and it's the one that ends with sewage on the basement floor if it's ignored.

If it's the main line, call us now. Don't run more water into it.

Is it one drain or all of them?

What we do

Drain snaking and augering.

The standard fix for most clogs. Clears the blockage mechanically.

Hydro jetting.

High-pressure water that scours the pipe wall clean rather than just punching a hole through the blockage. This is what you want for grease buildup, heavy scale, or a line that keeps clogging in the same place. Snaking clears the clog. Jetting cleans the pipe.

Camera inspection.

We send a camera down the line and see what's actually there. Roots? A collapsed section? A belly where waste is pooling? You get an answer, not a guess — and if it's a recurring problem, this is how you find out why.

Root removal.

Tree roots find hairline cracks in a sewer line, get in, and grow until they fill it. We cut them out — but roots come back, so the camera tells you whether the pipe itself needs repair.

Why it keeps happening

If you're clearing the same drain twice a year, the clog isn't the problem... something else is.

Tree roots. Common in older Langley properties with mature trees near the sewer line. They'll return until the crack they're entering through is dealt with.

A bellied or collapsed line. The pipe has sagged or broken, and waste pools instead of flowing. No amount of snaking fixes this. The camera finds it.

Grease. Kitchen line, restaurant, or a household that pours cooking fat down the sink. Builds up on the pipe wall until it closes. Jetting is what clears it properly.

A line that's simply old. Clay or cast iron sewer lines degrade. At some point you're maintaining a pipe that needs replacing.

If your drain keeps blocking, get the camera in it. Repeat callouts cost more than one diagnosis.

Sewer backup is an emergency

If sewage is coming up through a floor drain, a shower, or a basement toilet — stop using water in the house and call us.

Every flush, every load of laundry, every shower adds to what's coming back up. Contaminated water in a home is a health issue, not just a plumbing one.

Questions we get

Should I use a drain cleaner from the hardware store?

We'd rather you didn't. Chemical cleaners often don't clear the blockage, they sit in the pipe, and they can damage older lines. They also make it hazardous for whoever opens that drain next — which might be us.

How do I know if it's the main line?

Multiple fixtures backing up at once, or a toilet that gurgles when you use water elsewhere in the house. If you're seeing that, it's the main.

What's the difference between snaking and hydro jetting?

Snaking punches through the blockage. Jetting scours the whole pipe wall clean. If a drain keeps clogging in the same spot, snaking is treating the symptom.

Do I need a camera inspection?

Not for a one-off hair clog. Yes if it's happened before, if you've got mature trees near the line, or if you're buying an older home and want to know what you're inheriting.
