What are the reasons why I need sewer repair?

Edmonton, Alberta, residents may need a sewer line repair for several reasons. While some issues may not always be preventable, several common problems require sewer line repair. Edmonton plumbers frequently encounter sewer issues because of the following: Tree root intrusion Corrosion Deterioration Ground shifting Clogs and blockages Bellies and backgrading We will provide you with a sewer pipe repair that addresses these issues and solves the problems with your sewer line. Whether we provide a complete sewer replacement or utilize a trenchless sewer repair, Edmonton homes are in good hands with our team.

Do you conduct sewer video line inspections as part of my sewer repair in Edmonton?

During the plumbing diagnosis and inspection portion of your service, we use video inspection to identify the type of sewer line damage present and determine the best course of action for your sewer repair. Edmonton plumbers will use highly specialized plumbing video cameras, which are attached to a flexible cable. The camera is fed through the sewer cleanout, travelling as far as it takes to the trouble spot. During the inspection, our professional plumber can determine the material, age, and condition of your pipes via video footage displayed on a monitor, along with the exact location and cause of any damage, allowing us to determine the type of sewer repairs Edmonton homeowners may need.

How long will it take to complete my sewer repair in Edmonton?

The length of your sewer service will depend on how much damage is done to your sewer line. We understand that a damaged sewer line can cause numerous issues for your home, including slow-draining water, gurgling sounds, and clogs. Repair work can take anywhere from a few hours to several days, depending on the extent of the damage and the reason for the sewer repair. But Edmonton homeowners can depend on our high-quality services when they need them most. We pride ourselves on providing fast and efficient service. Once we determine the root cause of the issue, we can provide you with an estimated timeline for the repair work.

What is hydro jetting recommended for, and do you use this drain cleaning method during my sewer repair in Edmonton?

In the case of pipe lining the sewer must be exceptionally clean prior to installing the liner. That’s why, before the start of a sewer line repair, Edmonton plumbers will often complete some hydro jetting. You may be familiar with it when you hire Mr. Rooter Plumbing for drain cleaning services. Our HydroScrub ® Jetting technology utilizes high-pressure water jets to break through tough clogs and clear pipe walls of sludge, mineral deposits, and other debris. This helps us have a clearer review of what we’re working with and ensures that mineral buildup and pipe clogs don’t impact the effectiveness of your sewer repair in Edmonton.

Can you fix old cast iron sewer pipes during my sewer repair in Edmonton?

When a cast iron pipe was first installed, it was, no doubt, performing optimally. Although it has a lifespan of 50 to 100 years, it is highly recommended to consider replacement before the end of its lifespan. Cast iron drains tend to rust and corrode inwards, eventually wearing right through the bottom of the pipe. Nowadays, builders have shifted away from cast iron due to its weight, high costs, and complex installation process. What would make it even more bothersome is a future replacement that requires excavation, which would also be expensive. Very few homes in Edmonton have cast-iron sewers; however, almost all pre-1980 homes have cast-iron drainage under the basement slab. That said, if you have a cast-iron sewer line and it is still in reasonably good condition, it is feasible for our plumbers to perform repairs on it. Edmonton plumbers can even provide pipe lining as a trenchless repair option, provided the cast iron is intact. That said, depending on the age and condition of your sewer line, our plumbers may recommend replacement over further sewer repair. Edmonton homeowners, however, can trust us to provide unbiased, professional advice on what would work best for their home’s plumbing system and walk them through all available options.

Who is responsible for my sewage pipes?

Every property owner is responsible for their own private sewer system, whether it is maintenance or a plumbing repair. This includes the drain under your home and extends to your property line. Should you ever experience unexpected plumbing disasters, such as flooding or a sewer backup, your home insurance company may cover some water damage, and some insurers even offer “Service Line Coverage,” which can provide funding to help cover some of the costs of replacing your sewer if it meets certain criteria. We recommend inspecting the sewer first before filing a claim in the event of a backup.

How much will it cost to get a sewer line replacement service or sewer repair in Edmonton?

The cost of your sewer repair service depends on a variety of factors, including the extent of damage, the type of repair method, and the complexity of the plumbing system, so it’s hard for us to provide an accurate estimate until we can come out to your home and inspect your sewer lines. However, when seeking sewer repairs, Edmonton homeowners can rest assured that we will strive to provide affordable and time-saving options for their sewer line repair. Edmonton plumbers, for instance, can often offer pipe lining services in many cases. Pipe lining, also known as sleeving, is the most common and cost-effective trenchless method used today. It’s minimally invasive, requires no digging, and lasts for as long as 50 years. The cost, however, depends on the exact location of the damage and the linear footage and diameter of the replacement liner we install. However, there will be cases where it’s not effective to use trenchless methods for sewer repair, so our Edmonton plumbers will need to dig up your property to access the damaged pipe. We won’t be able to determine that until our professional plumbers have completed a plumbing diagnosis. Feel free to contact us to learn more about our upfront pricing system and cost guides. We also offer financing options and special offers to provide more affordable prices for plumbing repair costs, making it easier for you and your wallet to access the much-needed sewer repair in Edmonton.

What will happen if I neglect the need for sewer repair?

Putting off your repairs today can only result in more costly repair or replacement services later on. It could also result in frequent backup problems, and extensive water damage. We never advise leaving problems unaddressed, regardless of whether it's a leaky drain or a sewer line repair. Edmonton residents can rely on Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Edmonton for reliable solutions to all their plumbing needs.

Sewer Repair Edmonton

One of the most common plumbing issues that homeowners face is clogged drains. Most soft blockages are easily handled with a plunger or drain snake. But how do you know you don’t have a more serious blockage deeper down the drain? It may not be immediately apparent until more warning signs pop up and disrupt your daily routine. It is also easy to believe that plumbing issues might resolve themselves on their own, but in reality, they often persist and worsen over time. Recurring toilet clogs, slow drainage, or a backed-up floor drain—all indicate an underlying issue in your sewer lateral. It is not until our Edmonton plumbers have completed an inspection that they can confirm how to best handle your problem. Perhaps you need a hydroscrub or a sewer line repair. Edmonton has many beautiful historic residential and commercial buildings; although they may be well-maintained on the outside, the area to worry about is often the plumbing.

Over the years, Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Edmonton’s team of experts has completed many sewer line repairs in Edmonton and the nearby communities. Homeowners may not always be aware of their sewer system’s age, material, and condition. Outdated systems in older buildings are prone to clogging, corrosion, and failure. Without regular maintenance and repairs, you could experience several sewer line issues. Book an inspection appointment with one of our local pros.

Underground Services and Trenchless Methods for Comprehensive Sewer Repair: Edmonton Area

This trenchless repair method was originally named “cured in place pipe” installation and involves the process of wrapping a fibreglass/resin liner around a rubber hose to feed it through the affected pipe and install it in the damaged area. Once this new sleeve cures in place, your sewer pipe’s original functions will be restored, ensuring minimal disruption and a seamless sewer repair.
Pipe bursting doesn’t require a trench, but it does require smaller excavations, one in the basement and one at the property line. For this repair option, our experienced plumber digs two access holes that allow them to feed through a cable from one end to the other. Hydraulic pressure breaks apart the old sewer pipe as the new pipe drags through the opening. Both ends are then connected back to the existing sewer pipes, and everything drains properly once again.
This is what it sounds like: digging a deep trench down to your sewer to repair or replace it. In some cases, pipe lining or pipe bursting are not feasible options for your sewer repair. Our Edmonton plumbers, as a result, will then need to fix the damage the old-fashioned way through digging. Rest assured that we will exhaust all other options before resorting to excavation for your sewer line repair in Edmonton.
