Drain Cleaning Services
Drain problems show up in more shapes than most homeowners expect. Sometimes it's a single clogged sink. Sometimes it's water backing up through a floor drain, or a basement that stays damp no matter what you try, or a letter from the City about a sewer separation deadline you didn't ask for. Each of those is a different job, with a different fix.
At KCs Plumbing, Heating & Drain Services, we've been sorting through Coquitlam and Lower Mainland drain problems since 1993. Below are the six parts of your drain system we handle most, so you can find the one that actually matches what's going on at your place instead of guessing.
Not sure which one you need? Call (604) 873-3753 and we'll walk you through it before you book anything.
Which Drain Service Do You Need?
A quick way to narrow it down:
- A sink, tub, or floor drain backed up right now, and it's happened before → Clogged Drain Repair.
- A drain that keeps clogging in the same spot no matter how many times it's been snaked → Hydro Jetting.
- You want to know exactly what's wrong before paying for a fix, or you're buying a home with an older line → Sewer Camera Inspection.
- Your basement stays damp, or your foundation drain tile is old and failing → Perimeter Drain Cleaning.
- The City of Vancouver has sent you a sewer separation notice → Sewer Separation.
- Your basement needs help managing groundwater or storm runoff → Sump Pump Service.
If more than one of these sounds right, that's normal; a lot of drain problems overlap; a camera inspection often ends up feeding directly into a jetting or perimeter drain job once we see what's actually happening underground. Call and we'll sort out the right starting point.
Our Drain Services
Clogged Drain Repair
The most common call: a sink, tub, or floor drain that's backed up. We diagnose the real cause instead of just clearing the immediate blockage, so you're not calling again in a month for the same clog.
Hydro Jetting
For lines with grease buildup, root intrusion, or scale that a snake only ever punches through instead of clearing. Hydro jetting scours the full width of the pipe, not just a path through it.
Sewer Camera Inspection
A camera in the line before any digging, snaking, or jetting starts, so you're paying for the fix your line actually needs. Also useful before buying an older home.
Perimeter Drain Cleaning
Your foundation's drain tile is buried and easy to forget about, especially in homes with older cast iron or clay lines, until it fails and your basement starts taking on water. We clear and repair perimeter drains before that happens, or after.
Sewer Separation
The City of Vancouver requires many properties to separate combined sewer lines as part of its plan to eliminate sewage overflows by 2050. We handle the permits, City coordination, and the actual separation work.
Sump Pump Installation
Sewer separation and perimeter drain work often need a sump pump to manage groundwater afterward. We install and service them, including as a stand-alone job for basements with ongoing water problems.

Drain Services FAQs
How do I know if this is a DIY fix or something to call about?
A single, first-time clog you can clear yourself is usually fine to try. A recurring clog in the same spot, standing water, or any sign of a foundation or sewer-line problem is worth a call before it gets more expensive to fix.
Do you offer emergency drain service?
Yes. Call (604) 873-3753 for the same-day and emergency drain work described on each service page above.
Can one visit cover more than one of these services?
Often, yes. A camera inspection frequently leads straight into a jetting job or a perimeter drain repair once we see the actual condition of the line. We'll tell you honestly if that's the case before we start any additional work.
Why does a drain smell like sewer gas?
Usually a dry P-trap, a cracked vent pipe, or a failing seal somewhere in the line letting sewer gas back up into the house. It's worth a call rather than just masking the smell, since a dry trap is simple to fix but a cracked line isn't something to leave alone.
Whatever's going on with your drains, let's figure out the right fix. Call KCs Plumbing at (604) 873-3753 for drain services in Coquitlam and the Lower Mainland, backed by our work warranty on every job.
