Drain cleaning in Burnaby, from $269.
A lot of Burnaby was built in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, and a lot of it still drains through the sewer pipe laid at the time. That pipe is now past the age where it starts to sag, crack and let roots in.

What we see in Burnaby.
| Mid-century sewer pipe at the end of its life | Homes of this era often have clay or tar-paper (no-corrode) pipe. It clears, then blocks again a few months later, which is the sign to put a camera down it. |
|---|---|
| Sumps and catch basins | Many Burnaby lots drain their perimeter and yard water to a sump. A backup at one drain is often caused somewhere else in that system, so we check it as a whole. |
| Towers and strata buildings | Around Metrotown and Brentwood, a blocked stack or parkade drain needs the manager's approval and resident notice before it can be worked on. |
Every clog, with its price.
