Our licensed plumbers show up on time, explain what they find, and fix the problem the first visit whenever possible.
Signs You Have a Clogged Drain Port Moody
Drain problems usually give you warning signs before they become an emergency. Watch for water that drains slowly or not at all, a gurgling sound coming from a drain or toilet after you run water elsewhere, a bad smell rising from a sink or floor drain, water backing up into a different fixture when you flush or run the washing machine, or damp spots near floor drains in your basement. If more than one fixture is affected at the same time, stop running water and call us right away.
Kitchen Sink and Kitchen Drain Back Ups
Grease, food scraps, and coffee grounds are the most common causes of a blocked kitchen drain. Over time they build up inside the pipe and slow the water down until it stops draining altogether. We use tools built for kitchen lines to clear the blockage without damaging your pipes, then test the drain to make sure water is flowing the way it should.
Toilet Back Ups
A backed up toilet is one of the most urgent plumbing problems a home can have. If water rises close to the rim or will not go down after flushing, stop using the toilet and shut off the water at the valve behind it. Our team responds quickly to toilet back ups and will find out whether the clog is in the toilet itself or further down the line.
Whole House and Mainline Back Ups
If more than one drain in your home is backing up at the same time, the problem is likely in your main sewer line, not a single fixture. Tree roots, older pipes, and heavy rain can all lead to a mainline blockage. This type of problem often needs a camera inspection to find the exact cause and location before we clear it. See our drain inspection page for more information.
Drain Cleaning in Coquitlam and Port Moody
Older homes in Coquitlam and Port Moody often have narrower or aging pipes that clog more easily than newer plumbing. Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and Port Moody are often called the Tri Cities, and Gold Star Plumbing and Heating is based right in Port Moody. We know the common drain problems in these neighbourhoods and carry the equipment to clear them on the first visit.
Our Drain Cleaning Process
We start by asking where the problem seems to be and how long it has been getting worse. Next we inspect the drain and, where needed, run a camera to see exactly what is causing the blockage. Depending on what we find, we clear the line using a drain cable for standard clogs or high pressure water jetting for heavier buildup. Once the drain is clear, we run water through the system to confirm everything is flowing properly and check nearby drains before we leave.
