Common Causes of Drain Clogs in the Lower Mainland
Drain problems are common across BC due to our climate, tree density, and aging sewer systems. Frequent culprits include:
- Grease & Fat Build-Up: Kitchen drains often clog from oils and food residue that harden over time.
- Hair & Soap Residue: Bathroom and shower drains frequently become obstructed by trapped hair and hardened soap buildup.
- Tree Root Intrusion: In mature neighbourhoods like Vancouver and Surrey, tree roots can infiltrate sewer lines, causing major blockages.
- Food Waste Misuse: Items such as coffee grounds, eggshells, and stringy scraps easily clog kitchen drains.
- Foreign Objects: Accidental flushing of wipes, cotton pads, floss, and other debris can lead to severe backups.
Regular maintenance and proper waste disposal can significantly reduce the risk of clogs. Alpine Plumbing & Heating provides preventative services designed to keep your home or business safe from unexpected drain failures.

Warning signs include slow drainage, foul odours, bubbling sounds, water backup from sinks or tubs, and recurring clogs that return after plunging. These symptoms often indicate deeper issues like grease buildup, root intrusion, or debris lodged inside the line. While minor clogs might clear temporarily, they tend to come back without a professional solution. A trained technician can diagnose the exact cause and fix it properly to prevent future blockages.
For light clogs, mechanical snaking can work, but it only breaks the blockage at the surface. For tougher issues caused by grease, mineral buildup, or tree roots, hydro jetting provides the best long-term results because it thoroughly cleans pipe walls. This method restores full flow instead of just punching a hole through the clog. It also helps reduce recurring blockages, making it ideal for both homes and businesses.
We strongly advise against it. Chemicals may appear to work quickly, but they can corrode pipes, damage older plumbing systems, and produce harmful fumes inside your home. They often fail to remove the full blockage, causing the problem to return worse than before. Professional cleaning protects your plumbing system while delivering a more effective and safer solution.
Most households benefit from a complete drain cleaning service once a year, especially in older neighborhoods or homes with tree-root activity. High-use properties, larger families, or homes with frequent backups may need more frequent maintenance. Routine cleaning prevents emergency repairs and helps protect against costly sewer issues. For consistent care, many homeowners choose preventive maintenance through our Drain Cleaning service.
Tree roots naturally move toward moisture, even through tiny cracks in underground pipes. Once inside, they continue growing and act like a net that traps debris, causing major clogs and slow drainage. We locate root invasion using sewer camera inspection and remove it with hydro jetting or sewer repair methods. Proper repairs help prevent roots from returning.
