Residential Services

From a slow kitchen sink to a basement backup, we diagnose the cause and fix it properly — with respect for your home.

Overview

Most household drain problems start small and get worse over time. We find out what's really happening in your lines — often with a camera — and recommend the simplest fix that actually lasts.

Whether you live in an established inner-city neighbourhood with mature trees or a newer suburb, we understand the drainage systems found in Calgary homes.

  • Camera-first diagnosis
  • Clean, protected work areas
  • Clear explanations
  • Maintenance advice

Common Problems

01

Basement floor drain backups

Water rising in the floor drain when laundry runs is a classic main-line warning sign.

02

Slow or gurgling fixtures

Multiple slow drains point to a restriction further down the line.

03

Tree root intrusion

Common in older neighbourhoods with mature trees near the sewer lateral.

04

Sewer odours

Persistent smells can mean a blockage, dry trap or damaged pipe.

05

Kitchen grease build-up

Cooking fats harden on pipe walls and narrow the line over time.

06

Spring melt drainage

Weeping tile, sump and yard drainage issues during the thaw.

Our basement floor drain backed up on a Sunday. PlusFlow called back quickly, cleared the line and showed us on camera what caused it. Clear explanation, no pressure, and they left everything clean.

We booked a sewer scope before buying an older home in Bowness. The technician walked us through the footage and gave us a written summary. It helped us negotiate with confidence.

Our restaurant kitchen lines kept clogging with grease. They hydro-jetted the lines after hours so we didn't lose a service, and set us up on a regular schedule. No problems since.

Big old poplar in the front yard and slow drains every fall. They cut the roots, ran a camera after, and recommended a maintenance interval. Friendly and on time.

We manage a condo complex in the NE and had pooling at two catch basins. PlusFlow cleaned and inspected them, sent photos and a short report for our board. Very professional.

Gurgling toilet and a slow tub. The tech explained the difference between snaking and jetting and recommended the simpler fix. Honest advice — I'll call them again.

We run a small warehouse in Foothills. They put together a maintenance plan around our shifts and keep proper service records. Exactly what our insurer asked for.

Before our basement development we had the line inspected. They found an offset joint we never would have known about. Great communication from booking to the final report.

Water came up through the basement floor drain every time the washer ran. They cleared the main line, ran the camera to the city connection and showed us a root spot to keep an eye on. Straightforward and tidy.

Toilet overflowing on a weekday evening with family coming over. I called, they told me what to shut off and were at the door that evening. Line cleared and the price matched what I was told on the phone.

We needed the sewer line marked before building a garage. They traced it with the camera and locator and painted the route and depth on the lawn. Our contractor knew exactly where not to dig.

Kitchen sink kept clogging no matter how often it was snaked. Jetting cleared years of grease out of the line and it has drained perfectly since. They explained everything without the upsell.

Sewer scope on a 1960s bungalow before we made our offer. The written report was clear, with distances and photos of a belly in the line. Worth every dollar for the peace of mind.

We manage three small retail plazas. PlusFlow set up one schedule for all three sites with catch basin cleaning before spring melt. Reports come in after every visit — makes our job easy.
