Replacing or repairing a pipe without digging a trench is always our first option. However, that isn’t always possible or ideal; in those cases, we’ll explain to you that we need to dig a trench to reliably resolve the problem and get your approval before continuing.
When your main sewer line is clogged, it usually affects multiple drains in and around your home, especially the ones on the ground floor. These are some common signs to look out for:
There are two main causes: blockages and sewer surcharging. If an object gets stuck in a drain or sewer line, it can prevent proper flow. Eventually, that can lead to a complete blockage, causing any new flow to build up and – eventually – back up. In the case of surcharging, it means that the standard flow in the line has been reversed. This often happens during flooding or heavy rains, as sewer lines can’t handle the extra volume and begin backing up into homes and businesses.
In Vancouver, it’s not a matter of “if” heavy rain will come, it’s just a matter of “when”. Make sure your drains are ready.
