The drain service of Pure Mechanical GroupMetro Vancouver + Fraser Valley
For trade-certified plumbers, coast to coast

One plumber per city. From Victoria to St. John’s.

Unclog.it is a Canadian drain brand run by plumbers, not by a call centre. In each city, one independent shop carries the name. Its bookings, its reviews, its trucks.

Apply for your city

We are opening cities one at a time. Or call 1-800-604-0631 and ask for Andrew.

Not on the list?

Any city or town can have its plumber.

These are the first cities, not the only ones. If you run a good shop somewhere else, have room to grow and want drain work to be part of it, apply with your town. You do not need to be a drain company today. You need the trade ticket, the insurance and the reviews.

Red Seal Program recognition, April 2023: Plumber trade item bank
From the founder

From one plumber to another.

I’m Andrew Henderson. I’m a Red Seal plumber, and I started Pure Mechanical Group in 2009.

In 2022 the administrators of the Interprovincial Standards Red Seal Program recognized me for contributing to the development and review of the Plumber trade Occupational Standard, and in 2023 for work on the trade’s exam item bank. That is the standard and the exam every Red Seal plumber in this country is measured against.

It left me with one firm belief: there are great plumbers in every city in Canada, and most of them are losing drain calls to whoever buys the most ads. I would rather we stood together. One good shop per city, under one name people remember, each of us still running our own business.

That is what Unclog.it is for.

The package

A territory, not a single page.

A city on the list means that city and the towns around it that you already serve. Ours is the example: Pure Mechanical Group holds Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, which is 16 city pages, from Vancouver to Chilliwack. Yours is built the same way, for one flat monthly fee.

Your whole territoryNot one page. A page for every city and town you cover, each written for that place: its pipes, its sewer rules, its neighbourhoods.
Nobody else in itOne company holds a territory. Every booking, call and emergency request from it goes to you and only you.
Online booking at your pricesCustomers pick the drain, see your flat price, agree to it and book. The price they agreed to comes through with the booking.
Emergency call-backsAfter-hours requests arrive as a text on your on-call phone with the customer's name, number and address. Or stay regular hours only.
Your name, logo and peopleYour company name and logo as the business doing the work, your owner and crew photos, and your own phone number.
Your Google reviews, livePulled from your own Google listing and shown on every page in your territory.
The Unclog.it Verified sealShown once your trade ticket, licence, insurance and workers' compensation cover have been checked.
The price guideEvery guide read from your territory points to you: the six clog guides and the rest of the jobs you choose to take.
The drawingsThe Unclog.it illustrations for your quotes, invoices, vans and social posts while you hold the territory.
A monthly reportHow many people read the guide in your territory and how many called or booked.
We build it and keep it runningYou fill in one setup form and send photos. We write the pages, host them and keep them up to date.

What we need from you: the setup form (your jobs, prices and where bookings go), your documents for the checks, and photos of your owner, your team, a van and a few jobs.
