Frequently Asked Questions About Drainage & Sewer Maintenance
How often should I have my drainage system inspected in Vancouver?
In Vancouver’s rainy climate, we recommend annual inspections of your drainage and sewer system. Properties with mature trees nearby or homes older than 25 years may benefit from more frequent checks, typically every 6 months. Preventative maintenance is particularly important before the fall rainy season begins.
What are signs that my drainage system needs maintenance?
Watch for these warning signs: slow draining sinks or tubs, gurgling sounds from drains, foul odors, water backing up in fixtures, wet spots in your yard, water stains on basement walls, or unusually green patches of grass over your sewer line. These symptoms indicate potential issues that should be addressed promptly.
How do Vancouver’s heavy rains affect my drainage system?
Vancouver’s substantial rainfall puts extra pressure on drainage systems. Heavy precipitation can overwhelm poorly maintained systems, leading to backups and flooding. Our region’s clay-rich soils also retain moisture, increasing the importance of effective perimeter drainage to protect your foundation from hydrostatic pressure.
What maintenance does my commercial property need?
Commercial properties require specialized maintenance based on usage. Restaurants need regular grease trap servicing, retail spaces benefit from quarterly main line cleaning, and office buildings should have annual comprehensive inspections. We create customized maintenance plans that align with your business operations and Vancouver’s commercial plumbing regulations.
How long does a typical drain cleaning service take?
Most residential drain cleaning services take between 1-2 hours, depending on the severity of the clog and accessibility of the pipes. Commercial services may take longer based on system complexity. We work efficiently to minimize disruption while ensuring thorough cleaning that prevents quick recurrence of problems.
