Drainage

Drain Cleaning in Burnaby & Metro Vancouver

Clogged drains and slow sewer lines cleared fast — with camera inspection to find the real cause, not just the symptom.

A slow or blocked drain is more than an inconvenience — left alone, it can back up into your home, damage fixtures, and turn into a much bigger repair. GSP Services clears clogged drains and sewer lines for homes and businesses across Burnaby, Vancouver, and the wider Lower Mainland, and we find out why it clogged so it doesn’t keep happening.

Whether it’s a single stubborn kitchen sink or a recurring main-line backup, our team arrives with the right equipment to clear the blockage and restore proper flow — day or night.

When to Call

Signs Your Drain Needs Attention

Don’t wait for a full backup

Most drain problems give you warning signs before they become emergencies. If you notice any of these, it’s worth booking a cleaning before the blockage gets worse:

  • Water draining slowly
  • Gurgling sounds from drains
  • Bad odours from sinks or floor drains
  • Water backing up in tubs or showers
  • Multiple fixtures clogging at once
  • Recurring blockages in the same drain

How We Clear It

The Right Method for the Blockage

01

Camera inspection

We run a CCTV camera through the line to pinpoint the exact location and cause — grease, roots, debris, or a broken pipe — before we touch anything.

02

Snaking & augering

For most household clogs, a professional-grade auger breaks up and pulls out the blockage without damaging your pipes.

03

Hydro jetting

For heavy grease, scale, or root intrusion, high-pressure water jetting scours the pipe walls clean and restores full flow.

Because we inspect first, we’re not guessing — we use the method that actually fits the problem, and we can show you what we found on camera. If the inspection turns up a deeper issue like root intrusion or a collapsed pipe, we’ll walk you through your options for sewer maintenance or repair.

We clean drains for single-family homes, stratas, and commercial properties across the region. For businesses, a blocked drain can shut down a kitchen or a washroom and cost you the day — so we work quickly and around your schedule to get you back up and running.

FAQ

Drain cleaning questions, answered.

Why does my drain keep clogging?

Recurring clogs usually point to a deeper cause — grease buildup, tree-root intrusion, a sag or damaged section in the pipe, or a partial main-line blockage. That’s why we run a camera inspection first: clearing the surface clog without finding the root cause just means it comes back.

What is hydro jetting, and do I need it?

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of the pipe clean — removing grease, scale, and roots that a standard auger can’t fully clear. It’s ideal for heavy or recurring blockages and commercial lines. For a simple household clog, snaking is often all that’s needed.

Can you clear tree roots from my sewer line?

Yes. Tree roots are a common cause of sewer backups in the Lower Mainland. We locate the intrusion by camera, cut and clear the roots — often with hydro jetting — and can recommend options to keep them from returning, including ongoing sewer maintenance.

How often should drains be cleaned?

For most homes, a preventive cleaning every year or two is enough. Properties with large trees nearby, older pipes, or a history of backups may benefit from more frequent service. Commercial kitchens typically need scheduled cleaning to manage grease.

Do you offer emergency drain cleaning?

Yes — we’re available 24/7 for drain and sewer emergencies across the Lower Mainland. If a line is backing up into your home, call us right away and we’ll respond quickly to clear it and limit any damage.

How can I prevent future clogs?

Avoid putting grease, coffee grounds, and fibrous food down the drain, use strainers to catch hair and debris, and never flush wipes — even “flushable” ones. Periodic professional cleaning and the occasional camera check catch problems before they become backups.
