North Vancouver’s trusted drain cleaning and snaking service for homes and businesses
Our team focuses on practical, long-lasting clearing methods that protect your property and piping. We define snaking as a flexible steel cable with a cutting or boring head that mechanically breaks up clogs and restores flow quickly.
What snaking does and when it’s best
Snaking works well for localised blockages such as hair, soap scum, food and small debris. We select cable size and head type to match pipe diameter and the clog’s makeup.
Common blockages we remove
- Grease and compacted food that narrows pipes.
- Hair, soap scum and household debris that cause slow flow.
- Intruding tree roots and heavy build-up that may need hydro jetting.
Why professional cleaning beats store cleaners
Mechanical removal eliminates material without leaving corrosive residue. Lye-based cleaners can weaken pipe walls or push blockages deeper.
When required, we recommend hydro jetting for tough grease and root cut-through, or enzyme-based maintenance to safely digest organic build-up and reduce repeat clogs.
Call Lord Mechanical LTD at 604-670-3737 for a clear diagnosis and the safest, most cost-effective plan to fix your clogged drain and reduce future issues.
Signs your plumbing system needs expert attention today
Small symptoms often signal a larger issue in your pipes. We recommend quick action so a simple fix doesn’t become a big repair.
Slow drains, standing water, or recurring clogs
Slow-moving fixtures or water that pools in sinks and tubs points to a partial obstruction. Acting in time can prevent a full blockage and overflow.
Recurring clogs in the same fixture mean the root cause is deeper than a trap. We locate and remove the restriction rather than mask the problem.
Unpleasant odours and gurgling sounds from pipes and drains
Gurgling noises usually mean trapped air from a developing blockage or venting issue that needs professional assessment.
Bad smells from sinks or floor drains often come from organic build-up or a dry trap. A targeted cleaning service and routine checks fix this.
Backups in floor drains, kitchen, bathroom, or utility sinks
Backups across multiple fixtures point to a shared branch or stack issue. Early diagnosis saves time and reduces damage.
| Symptom | Likely cause | Recommended action |
|---|---|---|
| Slow flow in one fixture | Local clog in trap or branch | Targeted cleaning and inspection |
| Multiple fixtures slow | Blockage deeper in stack | Full line trace and camera inspection |
| Gurgling or bubbles | Venting issue or partial obstruction | Professional diagnosis and repair |
| Recurring clogs | Compacted build-up or root intrusion | Comprehensive clearing and prevention plan |
If you recognise any of these signs, call Lord Mechanical LTD at 604-670-3737. We assess your plumbing system, explain the options, and act to protect your home or business.
Our proven process for safe, effective drain cleaning
Our process starts with precise inspection so problems are found, not guessed. We document conditions, locate blockages and check pipe condition before any work begins.
Step one: Video camera inspection and diagnosis
We run a high-resolution camera into the run to pinpoint the obstruction and record any defects. This gives a clear map of your system and helps avoid unnecessary work.
Step two: Custom cleaning plan for your drains and lines
Based on what we see, we design a tailored plan. We select the right tools for material, diameter and run length to protect your pipes.
Step three: Professional drain cleaning with snaking and hydro jetting
We perform targeted cleaning using mechanical cable or high-pressure hydro jetting when grease or compacted debris is present. We stage equipment safely and control wastewater. If the sewer connection looks involved, we extend diagnostics to the main line.
Step four: Quality testing and preventive maintenance guidance
After cleaning we run water tests across connected fixtures to confirm flow and venting. You receive clear maintenance guidance and a schedule to reduce repeat clogs. Our team also captures before-and-after visuals so you can see results.

Advanced tools and techniques for lasting results
Advanced technology lets us pinpoint issues in your piping before any invasive work begins. We use a careful, evidence-led approach so repairs are targeted and predictable.
Video camera inspections to locate hidden issues and leaks
Camera inspection reveals cracks, low spots and obstructions inside pipes. The footage guides our plan and helps avoid guesswork.
That visibility means fewer surprises on site and more accurate estimates. You get clear documentation and a recommended timeline for repairs.
Tree root removal and sewer line clearing
For intrusive growth, we deploy specialised heads and high-pressure jetting that can cut through tough deposits and even shallow roots. This restores flow and clears the sewer path.
When a line needs more than mechanical clearing, we outline trenchless or sectional repair options. We explain pros, cons and expected timelines so you can choose what fits your property and budget.
- We use proven tools to map lines and find hidden faults before work starts.
- Cleaning services pair the right pressure and tooling to protect pipes while removing buildup.
- After work, we provide clear guidance to reduce recurrence and phase larger projects to limit downtime.
For reliable, documented repairs from a local team you can trust, call Lord Mechanical LTD at 604-670-3737.
Drain snaking services
We treat stubborn obstructions with curated tooling so your lines return to reliable performance on the first visit. Mechanical cable work breaks up material and retrieves trapped debris without guesswork.
From a blocked sink to main-line problems, we restore free flow. We match cable size and head type to each drain for efficient cutting, scraping and retrieval. That approach reduces risk and speeds repair.
- We handle single-fixture clogs and complex branch blockages affecting multiple drains.
- For sewer or deeper line concerns, we extend the cable run and follow with a camera pass to confirm full restoration.
- If compacted material remains, we recommend jetting to flush deposits and polish the pipe wall.
Every visit includes a clear explanation of findings, recommended next steps, and simple maintenance tips. Our expert team aims for first-visit resolution with transparent timelines and thorough cleanup.
