Drainage Expertise You Can Rely On

Professional service for every stage of your drainage system.

Expert Drain Cleaning

Sava Drains specializes in clearing blocked and slow-draining fixtures using top-of-the-line drain cleaning equipment from General Wire. Professional drain cleaning not only removes the blockage, but also thoroughly cleans the pipe walls by cutting through grease, soap buildup, sludge, roots, and other debris. Designed specifically for drain cleaning, our equipment restores proper flow while helping protect the integrity of your drainage system. 

Drain cleaning is recommended when you experience:

  • Slow-draining sink, tubs, or showers
  • Frequent drain backups
  • Standing water around floor drains
  • Gurgling sounds from drains or fixtures
  • Multiple fixtures draining slowly at once
  • Sewer odor coming from drain
  • Tree root intrusion in sewer lines

Preventative Maintenance

Sava Drains provides preventative drain maintenance services designed to keep drainage systems flowing properly and reduce or eliminate the likelihood of unexpected blockages. Using top-of-the-line drain cleaning equipment from General Wire, we remove grease, sludge, soap buildup, scale, and other accumulations before they develop into costly drainage problems. Routine maintenance can help extend the life of your drainage system, reduce emergency service calls, and maintain reliable performance throughout the year.

Preventative Maintenance is recommended for properties with a history of backups caused by:

  • Root intrusions
  • Sags in main sewer lines 
  • Heavy grease accumulation 
  • Fat, oil and grease build up 
  • Abbatoir waste buildup
  • Recurring sludge accumulation 
  • Frequent partial blockages
  • Chronic drainage deficiencies

Camera Inspections

Sava Drains provides sewer and drain camera inspections using professional inspection equipment to identify the condition of underground drainage systems. Camera inspections allow us to visually confirm the cause and location of drainage issues without unnecessary excavation. Whether you're experiencing recurring backups or investigating a suspected sewer problem, a camera inspection provides valuable information to help determine the most appropriate solution.

Camera inspections are recommended when:

  • Root intrusion is suspected 
  • A sewer line collapse is suspected 
  • A sag in the sewer line is suspected 
  • Drain lines have a history of recurring issues 
  • A property is being purchased and the sewer line condition is unknown 
  • The location of a sewer defect needs to be identified 

Stack Cleanings

Sava Drains provides stack cleaning services for multi-unit residential, commercial, and strata properties. Over time, grease, soap residue, scale, lint, and other debris can accumulate inside vertical drain stacks, restricting flow and contributing to recurring drainage issues throughout a building. Using top-of-the-line drain cleaning equipment from General Wire, we thoroughly clean drainage stacks to help maintain system performance, reduce service calls, and support the long-term health of the drainage system. For most strata properties, annual stack cleaning is recommended to minimize the likelihood of stack-related blockages, backups, and flooding events.

Stack cleanings are recommended for: 

  • Strata properties looking to reduce annual drainage maintenance costs 
  • Properties that maintain high standards of building maintenance cleanliness
  • Older buildings with aging drainage systems 
  • Properties experiencing recurring slow drainage in multiple units
  • Buildings with a history of recurring drain backups

Hydro Jetting

Sava Drains provides hydro jetting services for drainage systems affected by heavy buildup that cannot be effectively removed through conventional drain cleaning alone. Using high-pressure water, hydro jetting scours the interior walls of the pipe, removing grease, sludge, scale, roots, and other accumulations throughout the line. Because hydro jetting places significant stress on a drainage system, a camera inspection is typically recommended beforehand to verify that the pipe is suitable for the process. Hydro jetting is commonly used as a restorative cleaning service and as part of preventative maintenance programs for commercial and high-use drainage systems.

Hydro jetting is recommended when: 

  • Heavy grease buildup has accumulated inside the pipe
  • Sludge or scale buildup has significantly reduced pipe capacity 
  • Root intrusion has left residual debris attached to pipe walls
  • A drain system requires thorough restorative cleaning
  • A camera inspection has confirmed the pipe is suitable for hydro jetting

Exterior Drain Restoration

Sava Drains provides exterior drain restoration services for floor drains that have become stained, dirty, or odourous over time. Using specialized cleaning methods, we restore visible drain components by removing accumulated grime, mineral deposits, rust staining, and other surface contamination. As part of the restoration process, we also clean the visible section of the drain line and refresh the trap seal to help eliminate odours caused by stagnant water. The result is a cleaner, fresher, and more presentable drain appearance without the need for replacement.

Exterior drain restoration is recommended when:

  • Floor drains appear dirty or neglected
  • Rust stains or mineral deposits are visible
  • Drain covers have accumulated years of build up 
  • Unpleasant odours are present near floor drains
  • P- Trap water seals have evaporated due to infrequent use 
  • Commercial facilities are preparing for inspections
  • Building owners wish to imrpove the appearance of utility spaces
  • A cleaner, more sanitary appearance is desired

Comprehensive Drainage Solutions

No two drainage systems are exactly alike. While some issues can be resolved through conventional drain cleaning, others may benefit from camera inspections, preventative maintenance, stack cleaning, hydro jetting, or restoration services. In many cases, multiple services work together to provide the most effective long-term solution.

At Sava Drains, we begin by assessing the condition of the drainage system and recommending the most appropriate course of action. Whether you're dealing with an active blockage, recurring backups, aging infrastructure, or a preventative maintenance objective, our goal is to provide practical, effective solutions tailored to your property's needs.

As a company focused exclusively on drain cleaning and drainage system maintenance, we're committed to helping Metro Vancouver property owners maintain reliable, trouble-free drainage systems through professional service, honest recommendations, and specialized equipment.
