What we see in North Vancouver.
| Steep lots and difficult access | On a hillside the cleanout may be down a slope or under a deck. We plan how to get the machine to it before we start. |
|---|---|
| Perimeter drains that cannot keep up | Drain tile packed with roots and silt lets water build up against the foundation in a heavy storm. Cleaning it in the autumn is the cheap option. |
| Roots from mature conifers | Cedars and firs send roots straight into older sewer and storm lines. Annual cleaning keeps them flowing until the pipe is repaired. |
Every clog, with its price.
