About Our Edmonton Drain Replacement Services

If you’re dealing with a broken pipe that needs to be replaced now, you might be wondering what caused the drain problem in the first place. Because our drains aren’t easily seen, it’s hard for Edmonton homeowners to properly identify the issue. That’s where we come in. We use advanced equipment to peek into your main sewer line and identify the problem before choosing the best course of action to solve it. What are the most common causes we surmise from a broken drain?

• Build up of hair, grease, debris, toilet paper, etc.
• Corrosion from chemical drain cleaner
• Tree roots
• Poor maintenance
• Frozen pipes
• Regular wear and tear of aging pipes
• Backup from the city’s sewer line
• Improper installation or layout of pipes

The actual cause of your issue might not matter so much to you when you’re dealing with sewer backup or don’t have running water in your home. What does matter is how quickly it can be fixed. When you choose Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Edmonton, the answer to that question is right away. How will we resolve your issue? The first step is to properly identify the issue and confirm that it is indeed the drain replacement you need. To that, we’ll use video inspection, a non-invasive method that doesn’t involve digging up your backyard just to see what’s going on. After we confirm the culprit, we’ll use one of two solutions to replace your drains:

Pipe relining

This method involves inserting a sturdy sleeve into your sewer pipe. First, we’ll need to clean out your pipes with HydroScrub Jetting to rid them of soap scum, hair, and debris, then we’ll insert the lining, which will harden to create a watertight seal. This easy option is quick and won’t disrupt your life and yard as much as traditional sewer line repair might.

Burst pipe hydraulic replacement

The evidence from our CCTV drain survey may show that your pipe will simply be too damaged to slide a liner through it. If that’s the case, we’ll need to replace the old one entirely. If you’re worried about us digging up your backyard, don’t be. This non-invasive, trenchless process uses hydraulic equipment to break apart your damaged pipe before sliding a new one into place.

FAQs About Drain Replacement Service

What Should I Not Put Down The Drain?

There are very few things that should actually go down the drain inside your home. These include water, biological waste, toilet paper, and soap. The last two items on that list can still lead to a clogged drain and damage over time which is why regular drain cleaning is always recommended for Edmonton homes. Still curious about what shouldn’t go down your drain? The most common household items that should not include:

• Feminine hygiene products
• Baby wipes (even flushable ones!)
• Cotton swabs
• Food & grease
• Chemical drain cleaning products

How Often Do Drains Need To Be Replaced?

How often drains are replaced depends on the damage they have sustained over time. Pipes are made from a range of materials with different lifespans but can last up to 100 years if made from cast iron or more if your home has PVC. Sewer lines break for different reasons, so while your pipes may last that long when in perfect condition, they might encounter damage that leads to the need for drain replacement in Edmonton.

Do I Need Drain Replacement or Repair Services?

It depends. Often, it won’t be completely up to you as to whether your sink, toilet, or floor drains are repaired or replaced. Plumbing is one of the most important systems in Edmonton homes, which means that when facing a broken sewer line or pipe, it needs to be remedied right away. Now, depending on the severity of the issue, we’ll either recommend a pipe repair or replacement.

Sometimes, you’ll have the choice of doing a complete replacement rather than a repair, but it likely won’t be the other way around. Repairs are suggested for smaller plumbing issues, such as tiny cracks and pinholes in an isolated part of your pipe. Sewer lines with multiple issues or those facing excessive corrosion will need to be replaced.

How Do I Know If I Need Drain Replacement?

We hate to say this, but often when you need drain replacement, you’ll know. The symptoms of a broken drain aren’t pretty, especially when you consider what our drains carry away from our homes. With that said, not all symptoms of a broken drain can be seen by the untrained eye. In case you need confirmation of what the warning signs you need drain replacement are, check out the list below:
