We clear leaves, mud and debris from patio drains, driveway catch basins and accessible downspout strainers in Kitsilano, West Point Grey and Dunbar. If wet leaves have covered the grate at the bottom of your driveway or collected around your basement entrance, we can clear the opening and bag the debris during a scheduled visit.
What we clear
Patio and walkway drains. We remove matted leaves and sediment from drain grates on patios, paths and basement walkouts. Where a grate is designed to lift out and we can move it safely by hand, we also scoop out loose debris within reach underneath.
Driveway catch basins and trench drains. We clear leaves from the long grates that run across driveways and remove accessible buildup from shallow catch basins. We bag what we remove so the next rainfall doesn’t wash it straight back over the grate.
Ground-level downspout outlets and strainers. We clear visible blockages at the bottom of downspouts, including leaves caught in an open outlet, removable strainer or accessible cleanout.
When to book
A good time to book is after a heavy leaf fall, especially if you can see wet leaves covering a drain before rain is forecast. You can request help with a single drain or ask us to check several spots at the same property. If leaves are still coming down, we can also arrange a return visit.
What the visit covers
We work from ground level and clear debris we can safely reach by hand. Roof gutters, ladder work, fixed or heavy drain covers, underground pipe cleaning and drainage repairs are outside the scope of this service. If the grate is already clear and water still backs up, tell us before booking. The blockage may be farther down the line and may require a drainage contractor.
Pricing and appointments
$89 + tax for one worker for up to one hour. If you’d like us to stay longer, each additional 15 minutes is $22.25 per worker.
When you request a visit, tell us your neighbourhood, how many drains or downspouts need attention and where they are on the property. A photo showing the grate or outlet helps us confirm what we can reach before you book.
Our on-time guarantee. If we’re over 10 minutes late, you get 10% off. Over 30 minutes late, the visit is free.
