A blocked drain can move from inconvenient to damaging quickly—especially when wastewater is backing up through a floor drain, tub or lower-level fixture. Alpha Omega Mechanical provides drain cleaning and sewer-backup diagnosis in Port Coquitlam and across Metro Vancouver for homes, commercial properties and strata buildings.

How it works
From the first call to a clear next step.
01
Identify which fixtures are affected and control further water use
02
Access and clear the blocked drain using an appropriate method
03
Test drainage and explain prevention, maintenance or further investigation
Signs the blockage may be in the main drain
One slow fixture may point to a local clog. When several fixtures react together, water rises in a lower drain or toilets gurgle as another fixture empties, the restriction may be farther downstream in a branch, building drain or sewer line.
Multiple fixtures affected
More than one sink, toilet, tub or floor drain is draining slowly or backing up.
Lowest drain backs up first
Wastewater appears at a basement, parkade or ground-floor drain when water is used elsewhere.
The clog keeps returning
Repeated blockages can indicate buildup, damaged piping, roots or another condition that needs investigation.

Service questions
Answers before you call.
What should I do when sewage is backing up?+
Stop using sinks, toilets, laundry and other fixtures that add water to the drainage system. Keep people and pets away from wastewater, avoid pouring chemical cleaner into the line and call for drain service. If safe, tell us which fixture backed up first and which other fixtures are affected.
Is a sewer camera inspection needed for every clogged drain?+
No. A straightforward local blockage may not require a camera. Inspection is more useful when a blockage returns, the piping may be damaged, roots are suspected or the condition of the sewer line needs to be documented.
Do you provide emergency drain service?+
Yes. Alpha Omega Mechanical offers 24/7 emergency availability for active sewer backups and urgent drain problems. Same-day attendance depends on scheduling and location, so calling is the quickest way to confirm response time.
Can you help commercial and strata properties?+
Yes. We service residential, commercial and strata drainage problems and can coordinate access, document findings and recommend maintenance or further investigation when a blockage is likely to return.
Which areas do you serve for drain cleaning?+
We serve Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, Port Moody, Burnaby, Vancouver, Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, with service across Metro Vancouver based on availability.
