New Basement Drain Line Installation
New sewer drain installation in your basement should be handled by experienced plumbing professionals. If you are planning a full basement renovation, lowering the basement floor through underpinning, building a home, or adding a washroom, Water Guard Plumbing provides a free, no-obligation consultation.
- Plan new drain lines before concrete, tile, or carpet is installed.
- Identify the condition and route of existing underground utilities.
- Prepare plumbing for a basement washroom or renovation project.

Protect Your Finished Basement
During a basement renovation, underground utilities can be overlooked. A drain or sewer issue discovered after a finished basement is complete may require lifting new tile or carpet, breaking concrete, and replacing old clay lines.
If there is a concern, a technician can carry out a drain line camera inspection and provide a work plan. Where replacement is required, old clay lines may be replaced with new plastic lines.
A backwater valve may also be installed to help reduce the risk of street sewer water entering the home. Call for a free consultation before completing your basement project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a basement floor drain connected to the sanitary sewer?
In many homes, the basement floor drain or basement plumbing fixtures connect to the sanitary sewer system. A professional inspection can confirm how your system is set up.
Why is water coming up from the basement drain?
Water may come up through a basement drain when a service line is blocked or when sewer water overwhelms the system. Prompt assessment is important to limit further damage.
Why does my basement drain smell?
A strong sewer smell may be linked to a damaged sewer line or another drainage issue. Contact a plumbing professional to inspect the source and help prevent further property damage.
