Drain Cleaning in Vancouver
Our Vancouver plumbers clear slow and blocked kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and main-line drains using snakes, augers, or hydro-jetting.
Last updated: · Reviewed by the Right Choice Plumbing licensed-plumber team
A clogged drain can eventually send wastewater back into your home. Right Choice Plumbing clears kitchen sinks, bathroom fixtures, laundry standpipes, floor drains, and main sewer lines in Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, and Coquitlam.
Our drain-cleaning vehicles carry small-line snakes and augers for sinks and tubs, drum machines with cutter heads for tougher stoppages, sewer machines for main lines, and high-pressure hydro-jetters for grease, soap, or root buildup. When appropriate, hydro-jetting cleans the pipe wall instead of opening only a narrow path through the blockage.
For a recurring blockage or an older line, a drain camera can show whether the cause is a one-time clog, a low section in the pipe, root intrusion, or a break. We use that information to recommend the next step.
Typical project range: CAD 175 - 800. The final quote depends on access, materials and the work confirmed during diagnosis.

Drain cleaning near me
Right Choice Plumbing offers same-day drain cleaning in Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, and Coquitlam. A licensed BC plumber arrives with drain-cleaning equipment and can clear most blockages on the first visit.
Kitchen blockages
Kitchen sinks often slow down as grease, food particles, and soap collect inside the trap arm and branch line. We snake the line first. If the buildup is heavy, we may follow with hydro-jetting to clean more of the pipe wall rather than opening a narrow path through the clog.
Main lines
A main-line backup can stop every drain in the house, so these calls receive priority. We use a sewer machine with cutter heads sized for lines that are typically 3" to 6", then use a camera when needed to identify roots, grease, a low section, a collapse, or a foreign object. The findings determine whether the line needs cleaning or repair.

Common questions
Brands we service
Whether you need premium fixtures or standard models, our licensed Vancouver plumbers have the skills and parts to get your drain cleaning & unclog job done right.
Kitchen sinks clog from grease, food scraps, and soap residue. We snake and scour the line, including under-sink P-traps and the branch line back to the stack.
Bathroom sinks slow down because of hair, toothpaste, and soap scum. Our plumbers clear the trap and vanity branch line, usually in one visit.
Tub and shower drains are almost always blocked by hair. We pull the stopper, snake the trap arm, and scour the line so water drains fast again.
Laundry standpipes back up from lint, soap, and detergent buildup. We clear the standpipe and branch line so your washer drains properly.
Main sewer clogs can send water into several fixtures. We use a drum machine or sewer auger from the main cleanout and inspect the line by camera if needed.
High-pressure hydro-jetting cleans the inside wall of a drain line. It is useful for grease-heavy kitchen lines and main sewers with stubborn root buildup.
