Blue Monkey Plumbing
Sewer line problems can cause backups, odours, and damage to your home if not addressed promptly. Blue Monkey Plumbing provides professional sewer line repair in West Vancouver, with clear explanations and upfront pricing before any work begins.
A regular business-hours visit includes a $99 call-out fee. We explain the proposed work and price for approval before assessment, investigation or repairs begin.
We handle drain and sewer issues throughout the North Shore , including West Vancouver residences.
Slow or blocked drains throughout the home.
Persistent odours inside or outside the home.
Noises when fixtures are used can signal a restriction.
Backups often appear at the lowest drain.
Soil changes may indicate a leaking sewer line.
Problems that return after clearing often point to line damage.
Sewer lines can be damaged by aging materials, ground movement, root intrusion, corrosion, or improper slope. In older West Vancouver homes, original piping materials are a common cause of sewer line issues.
Sewer clearing and camera options: Sewer clearing plus camera inspection and sonde locating is $1,600 through a suitable existing cleanout (CLR-012), or $2,000 including toilet removal and reset (CLR-011). The camera upgrade is $750 on the same visit through the same suitable cleanout, or before the toilet is reset. Replace the clearing-only line; do not charge the same clearing or access work twice. One applicable call-out and GST are extra. Standalone cleanout camera inspection is $810; camera inspection with toilet removal/reset is $930 only when there is no active backup and no suitable cleanout. Root cutting is separately quoted for the cleanout soft-clearing package; toilet-access clearing includes root cutting needed to restore flow. See inclusions, exclusions and current pricing.
Inspection and recurring clogs: Camera inspection includes sonde locating and marking of identified roots or defects where a reliable signal is available, with no separate locating charge. Position and depth are approximate; inspection is limited to accessible, visible pipework. A camera can reveal a sewer belly—a sag or low section holding water—where access and visibility permit. Bellies can retain waste and contribute to recurring clogs. Clearing does not correct the pipe grade. If a confirmed belly or other underlying defect is left unrepaired, recurring blockages remain likely. Further clearing and pipe repair or replacement require separate approval.
Clearing risks: Uncommonly, roots or damaged pipe can catch the snake/cable or cutting head, and heavy wipes can wrap around it so it cannot be withdrawn. If safe retrieval is not possible, excavation, pipe access and repair may be required at the homeowner’s expense under a separately approved scope and price. Entrapment due to existing defects, roots or accumulated wipes is not, by itself, faulty workmanship. We remain responsible for our own negligent or defective work, and applicable consumer rights remain.
