Start with the fixture that is not draining properly
Water left in the bathtub, a slow kitchen sink or a toilet that will not clear gives a different picture of the work needed. MintHome's Vancouver unclogging service covers four household drain types. Describe the affected fixture, when the problem started and whether any other drains are involved.
A quote request is not a confirmed booking.
Sinks, bathtubs, toilets and floor drains
These four fixture types are included in the service list. Give the location in the property and explain whether drainage is slow, fully blocked or backing up.
- Kitchen and bathroom sinks.
- Bathtubs.
- Toilets.
- Floor drains.
When access is straightforward
A straightforward blockage may be cleared without taking fixtures apart. Tell us whether paper, fabric, hair, soap residue or food may be involved. We’ll assess the method for the blockage we find.
When the obstruction needs more work
A deeper or more difficult blockage may involve dismantling parts of the fixture or pipework.

- Where the blockage can be reached.
- How deep it is in the pipe.
- Whether parts need to be dismantled.
- Any specialist equipment required.
Prepare the information and access
List earlier clearing attempts, including any products used, and whether the problem returned.

If dismantling or additional work is needed, discuss the changed scope. Unclogging does not automatically include fixture replacement or unrelated plumbing repairs.
Basic Unclogging — When cost increases:
Only if the blockage is deeper in the pipe than expected.

Frequently asked questions
Does a blocked toilet or sink always need dismantling?
Not necessarily. It depends on the location and severity of the blockage. Tell us which fixtures are affected, whether water backs up and what has already been tried so the tools and work needed can be assessed.
Can I ask about several small repairs together?
Yes. Send a description and photos of each item. Parts, materials and the work involved may differ, so we will discuss each task separately. Repairs are not automatically included in a cleaning visit.
