Serving The Lower Mainland Since 1981
At Plumbr, we specialize in Main Drain Repairs, using advanced technology such as Camera Inspections and Locating Devices to quickly identify and resolve issues. The main drain is the backbone of your plumbing system, responsible for channeling wastewater to the municipal sewer system. When problems arise, they can lead to backups, water damage, and costly repairs if not addressed promptly.
Water backing up into sinks, showers, or toilets.
Multiple fixtures draining slowly.
Foul odors coming from drains or the yard.
Gurgling noises in
pipes.
Unexplained wet
spots in your yard or basement.
Roots infiltrate older pipes, causing cracks and blockages. Often occurs in clay or cast iron systems common in older homes.
Cast iron or galvanized pipes deteriorate over time, leading to leaks or collapses.
Grease, debris, and non-flushable items accumulate, obstructing water flow.
Ground settling or shifting causes misalignment or complete pipe failure.
Older systems may fail due to wear and tear, particularly in homes built before the 1970s.
Excessive rain or clogs cause water or sewage to back up, risking health and property.
We use High-Definition Camera Inspections to
visually assess the inside of your
main drain.
Locating Devices
precisely pinpoint the damaged or
clogged section, minimizing
unnecessary digging and an accurate assessment.
For blockages, we use a variety of different techniques depending on the situation. Snaking is considered the safest and most effective way to clear debris.
For severely damaged or collapsed pipes, we excavate and replace the pipe with durable materials such as PVC or HDPE. Depending on the condition of pipe, we may recommend to replace sections or the entire run if multiple areas of concern are present.
A damaged Drain Line may experience yearly blockages due to root intrusion, causing backups and unwanted issues to your property. At Plumbr, roots are removed using snake tools or hydro jetting, and we can install root-resistant materials or apply chemical treatments to prevent future intrusion.
