Professional Sanitary Sewer Services for Plugged Sewers in North Vancouver, Burnaby and the Nearby Areas
Is a plugged sewer causing you trouble in North Vancouver? Don’t worry, because Modern Drainage is here to provide you with swift and dependable sewer services. Our team of professionals is ready to tackle even the most challenging sewer issues, ensuring your plumbing system gets back to optimal function in no time.
Your residential sewer system plays a crucial role in directing greywater away from your home to the municipal mainline. These connections are vital for maintaining a clean and functional living environment, from toilets and showers to kitchen sinks and laundry lines. However, blockages can sometimes disrupt this smooth flow, leading to unpleasant backups and potential damage.
If you’ve noticed bubbling toilets, slow-draining sinks, or backups in showers and floor drains, your sanitary sewer might be challenging. These issues can arise due to various factors such as root infiltration, ground settlement, pipe deterioration, or internal blockages caused by household materials. Contact us today to book sanitary sewer services in North Vancouver, Burnaby and the nearby areas.

A functioning sanitary sewer system is critical for directing wastewater from toilets, sinks, showers, and appliances to the municipal treatment facility. Any obstruction, breakage, or improper connection may result in sewer backup, slow drainage, or system failure.
Our services include:
- Sanitary line installation for additions or renovations.
- Video inspection to assess pipe condition and identify blockages or root intrusion.
- Mechanical cleaning of debris, grease, and accumulated waste.
- Repair or replacement of damaged sewer lines due to pipe corrosion, joint failure, or soil movement.

Video Inspection for Precise Solutions
In cases where a plugged sewer is challenging to clear, our video inspection system becomes an invaluable asset.

With this technology, we ensure that we’re addressing the root of the problem, saving you time, money, and unnecessary disruptions by our sewer services.
Maintaining Your Sanitary Sewer Line's Health
Prevention is key when it comes to sewer issues. To help you maintain the longevity of your sanitary sewer system, we offer valuable advice. Avoid flushing sanitary products, including so-called “flushable” wipes, as these can contribute to clogs and disruptions in your system. Additionally, we recommend refraining from using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can compromise the structural integrity of your pipes with frequent use. By following these tips, you’ll be able to enjoy a smoothly functioning sewer system for years to come.
Tips to Prevent a Plugged Sewer in North Vancouver
Taking proactive steps to prevent plugged sewers can save you from the hassle and inconvenience of plumbing issues. Here are some valuable tips to help you maintain a healthy sewer system in your North Vancouver home:
- Mind what you flush: Only flush human waste and toilet paper down the toilet. Avoid flushing items like wipes (even if they claim to be “flushable”), sanitary products, and paper towels, as these can easily lead to clogs in your sewer lines.
- Proper disposal of grease: Cooking oil, grease, and fat should never be poured down the drain. These substances can solidify and create blockages over time. Dispose of them in a safe and environmentally friendly manner. Check your local recycling depot!
- Install drain screens: Consider using drain screens or catchers in sinks, showers, and tubs to catch hair, soap scum, and debris. Regularly clean and empty these screens to prevent them from becoming clogged themselves.
- Be mindful of food scraps: In the kitchen, use a sink strainer to catch food scraps and prevent them from entering the drain. Dispose of food waste in your compostable collection.
- Tree root management: If you have trees near your sewer lines, regularly inspect and address any root growth that might infiltrate your pipes. Tree roots can cause significant damage and blockages.
- Regular professional maintenance: Schedule regular sewer inspections and maintenance with professionals like Modern Drainage. Routine inspections can catch potential issues early, preventing them from turning into major problems.
- Avoid harsh chemicals: Refrain from using chemical drain cleaners. While they may seem like a quick fix, they can harm your pipes and the environment. Opt for natural or mechanical methods instead.
