Drain cleaning & camera inspection

Drain Cleaning, Done Right the First Time.

Slow drains, backups, and mystery smells — we snake, jet, and camera-inspect until we find what’s actually going on down there. Flat-rate diagnostic. Same-day service across Vancouver Island.

Every blockage has a reason. We find it.

Most plumbers grab the auger, punch through the clog, collect the cheque, and leave. That’s why the drain backs up again three months later. A Sasquatch clears the blockage first, then puts a camera down the line to find out why — grease, roots, collapsed pipe, or bad slope — and quotes you a real fix, not another temporary snake job.

Snaking & augering

Fast clearance of hair, soap, and grease blockages in sinks, tubs, showers, and toilets. Right-sized cable for the line so we don’t damage the pipe.

Hydro-jetting

High-pressure water jets scour the interior of the pipe — removes years of grease build-up, tree roots, and mineral scale that a snake just punches through.

Camera inspection

Real-time video down the line so you can see exactly what’s causing your problem — and we can quote the right permanent fix, not another guess.

When to call us about a drain

  • Multiple drains slow at once — usually means the main line, not just a sink trap.
  • Sewer smell in the house or yard — a vent issue, dry P-trap, or a crack in the drain line.
  • Gurgling toilets or sinks when other fixtures run — partial main line blockage.
  • Recurring backups you’ve already had “cleared” — time for a camera inspection to find the real cause.
  • Roots in an older home — clay tile and cast-iron sewers built pre-1980 are prime candidates for root intrusion.
  • Kitchen sink slows every winter — grease congealing when temps drop. Hydro-jet fixes it for good.

Flat-rate. Same day when we can.

You get the number before we start. Sasquatch drain calls are quoted flat-rate based on line length, clean-out access, and equipment needed — never by the hour. If the camera inspection uncovers something bigger (collapsed pipe, root ball, needs a new sewer run), we stop, walk you through what we’re seeing on the monitor, and quote the repair separately. You decide.

Emergency & after-hours

Sewage backing up on a Sunday? Call us. We answer our phones outside business hours for real emergencies, and we’ll tell you honestly whether you need us right now or if it can wait until morning — the ethical answer is usually “morning, and here’s how to shut off the fixture until then.” No inflated after-hours pricing traps.
