Making sure that your drainage is always in a spick-and-span condition is a great way to keep your plumbing system functioning without a hitch. After all, if you neglect them, your drains will get blocked, forcing you to call Marvel Plumbing And Drainage in Burnaby every so often.

Perhaps the biggest culprit is food waste. The odds are that you dump your food leftovers, cuttings, spoilt food and other particles down the drain. That’s a big no-no because they’re bad news for the drainage pipes and can cause a major clog. (Of course, if you suspect that your drainage system is already blocked, don’t hesitate to call Marvel Plumbing And Drainage in Burnaby). We promise to show up on time and get the job done right the first time. So, what doesn’t go down the drain? Coffee grounds - ground coffee tends to be sticky, forming a nasty paste inside the pipes.

Unused meds - these not only cause your drains to back up but can also end up in the underground water system. The list goes on and on.
