Sewer & Drain Line Services
If you are having drain line problems at your house or business, Water Guard Plumbing is here to help. With over 15 years in the industry, we provide residential and commercial plumbing services across Toronto and the GTA.
Each drain line project starts with a clear assessment and a plan for the work ahead.
- An in-depth evaluation of your property’s drain system using advanced camera inspection technology.
- Finding the source of the problem, such as a clogged drain, leaky sewer pipe, or sewer backup.
- Obtaining a city permit when required so the work meets municipal plumbing codes.
- Excavating the damaged sewer line as necessary and addressing the problem promptly.
- Backfilling the excavated sewer line with gravel and cleaning the construction site after the work is complete.
If keeping landscaping intact is important, our trenchless drain repair services require very little digging and help maintain your garden or yard.
What Causes Sewer Line Problems?
Drain and sewer pipe damage may develop for several reasons. Identifying the source is the first step in deciding if drain line repair is appropriate or a replacement is necessary.
- Natural wear of drain pipes over time, especially in homes older than 50 years.
- A buildup of food, grease, and debris that clogs sewer pipes and causes drains to back up.
- Tree roots entering sewer lines and blocking drains.
- Temperature changes that contribute to broken or burst sewer pipes.
These issues may lead to broken or damaged pipes. A drain line repair is often the first option; a complete replacement may be needed when a line is damaged beyond repair.
What Affects Sewer Line Repair Cost?
An on-site assessment is needed to provide an accurate estimate.
Trenchless sewer line repair is less invasive and requires virtually no digging. Although it can cost more than a traditional repair, it can reduce expenses connected to disruption, uprooting, landscaping, and lawn damage.
For any pipe repair, costs depend on the source and location of the damage, the work required to access the line, the extent of the repair, and cleanup. Contact Water Guard Plumbing for a project-specific estimate.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to fix a drain pipe?
Repair costs vary based on the cause of the drainpipe break, its location, the damage caused by the break, and any required cleanup. An estimate depends on the situation.
Does homeowners insurance cover a drain line repair?
Many insurance policies do not cover damage caused by a lack of maintenance. Review your policy or speak with your insurance provider to understand what is covered.
What are signs of a broken drain pipe?
Common signs include water backups or blockages, sewer odours, mould growth behind walls, and slow drains.
Can a clogged sewer line flood a basement?
Yes. A blocked sewer line on your property may cause a sewer backup in the basement. Contact a plumbing professional promptly if you suspect a backup.
