Foul odours: If you start to smell a strange or sewer line odour coming from your drain, there could be sewer gas escaping up your drain line.

London, ON residents can leave it to our team to have their line fixed quickly and reliably.

Who is responsible for maintaining the sewer line in London, ON?

London homeowners are responsible for sewer lateral repairs, which are from the house to the City main, whereas the City manages sewer mains and pumping stations. Over 1,155 km of local sewer is maintained by the City, but lateral issues are the homeowner's responsibility. If you are ever unsure who is responsible for your sewer repair, contact the City; they can advise whether the issue is on their property or yours.

What are the most common causes of sewer line damage in London, ON?

The most common causes of sewer line damage include tree root intrusion, aging pipes, corrosion, soil shifting, and improperly flushed items like fats, oils, wipes, and coffee grounds. London has around 50,000 homes with weeping tile connections, which are a leading source of "unwanted water" that causes sewer overloads and backups. Avoid flushing grease, oil, fat, and fibrous vegetables down your drains, and use city-provided compostable cups for fats and oils to prevent blockages.

How often should I get my sewer line professionally inspected or maintained in London, ON?

You should have a professional inspection done every few years, especially if you have an older home or if you start to experience slow drains, odours, or soggy lawn patches. The City of London conducts CCTV inspections of problematic areas and takes extra care in high-risk zones during annual flushing and lining. If your area has older infrastructure, request a preventative inspection to avoid costly emergencies.

How do heavy rain or storms affect sewers in London, ON?

Heavy rain can overwhelm combined sewers, leading to backups and potential overflows in the Thames River. The risk for this is higher in homes with connected weeping tiles. According to the London Free Press, in 2021, 260 million litres of sewage overflowed into the Thames River in 32 incidents, mainly due to storms. If your basement floods after storms, check for old weeping tile connections; city subsidies can help offset the cost of updating drainage.

What should I not flush or pour down the drain to avoid sewer issues in London, ON?

You should never flush or pour grease, oil, fat, baby wipes, paper towels, cat litter, coffee grounds, fibrous vegetables, or other non-biodegradable items down your drains. Since the city has started handing out grease cups, blockages from fats and grease have been all but eliminated. London's free compostable fat and oil cups can be picked up at local libraries, fire halls, and city hall.
