Sewer Line Replacement Toronto

Toronto sewer line replacements are a once-in-a-lifetime investment, so you don’t have to worry about ever doing it again, as the average cast-iron or PVC pipe lasts from 50 to 100 years. And before you jump to conclusions and begin envisioning a huge, muddy ditch being dug across your backyard, think again. The outskirts of your Toronto home won’t parody an archeological excavation, so there’s no need to fret.

At Mr. Rooter Plumbing, we have modern-day minimally invasive procedures and methods for professional sewer line replacement. Toronto property owners can expect our licensed plumbers to utilize trenchless technology, so there’s no need to fissure your land with a horrid trench. These innovative methods are more effective as we’ll only be required to drill a couple of small holes in your yard to access the line.

Plumbing Inspection and Diagnosis

We are adamant about ongoing preventative maintenance like drain cleaning and clogged drain services and will conduct a thorough inspection of your sewer line to see if it is damaged in any way whatsoever, such as being broken or collapsed due to a nasty clog. A blockage will suffocate your sewer lateral, so your home’s wastewater can no longer flow into the city’s sewer system, and the eventual wear and tear of an old sewer line will make it more susceptible to leaks. If you own an older Toronto home, it may have been many years ago since your property’s drainage pipe had a thorough cleaning or pipe repair or replacement, so clogs and corrosion may be inevitable. An examination of your wastewater lines is usually the first step, as it allows our professional plumbers to ballpark and gauge any other issues that have cropped up in your home’s drainage lines while your sewer lines were out of order.

Video Camera Inspection

Sometimes eyeballing just isn’t up to snuff, so we have to take a deeper dive into your wastewater drainage systems to magnify the root cause and exactly pinpoint the trouble areas. This way, we'll know if it is necessary to perform a sewer line replacement. Toronto homeowners, we’ll perform a video camera inspection by inserting a small video camera attached to a flexible cable and LED light to navigate your drain lines as we carefully manage the camera in the twists, turns, bends, and crevices of your pipelines to record live footage as we display these real-time results on a CCTV monitor for you to witness. This valuable information will help us determine the best course of action and use it to make an informed decision on which trenchless Toronto sewer line replacement technique would readily solve the issue.

Pipe Relining

The minimally invasive method we utilize depends on the level of damage. For instance, minor damages like small cracks, dents, or holes are the first signs of pipe deterioration, and in this case, relining may be the easiest way to replace a trenchless sewer line. Toronto property owners will observe our technician insert a flexible tube spanning the full length of the pipe with an inflatable sac on its inside. Once the lining has been aligned to the old pipe, the technician will blow up the inflatable sac enough so that it pushes against the inside walls of your existing wastewater drainage line. Once it hardens in place, the inflatable sac is removed, and in its place is a robust and brand-new lining free of any cracks or holes that would otherwise not result in a leakage. This serves as an enduring seal that will allow your pipe to function optimally for years to come.

Pipe Bursting

For major damages that are extensive along the entire pipe, we will conduct a complete sewer line replacement. We approach this tactic by interweaving a new pipe in place of the old one. First, we remove the old pipeline via a pipe bursting, where we utilize hydraulics to break up pieces of the old pipe so space can be made for a new one. Surprisingly, it’s not as difficult and messy as it sounds and can be carried out within 24 hours, so there’s no need to be inconvenienced by temporarily relocating for the trenchless sewer line repair or replacement.

Toronto homeowners could experience the following telltale signs that may appear to be harmless at first but gradually deteriorate.

• Gurgling sounds from the toilet
• Slow draining from sinks, showers, and toilets
• Recurring toilet clogs and backed-up sinks
• Backed-up floor drains
• Foul odours
• Water puddles in your backyard

While the above common signs might also signal that you need clogged drain repair, never rule out the possibility of a broken pipe, underground pipes require licensed plumbers for inspection and trenchless sewer repairs and replacement.

Nowadays, most sewer and drain lines are made from PVC because it is lightweight, durable, and easy to install. Cast iron pipe installations are still common, but they are time-consuming and expensive. Plus, trenchless methods are not possible for cast iron, so traditional repair and replacement methods, like excavation, are needed.

The main sewer line or lateral is outside of the home and connects to the city’s municipal sewage system. Drain lines are located inside your house and connect to your plumbing fixtures. Like your water supply lines, drain lines can be buried underneath the floor or behind walls.

Toronto plumbers will diagnose your system to assess its condition before making a recommendation between replacement or sewer line repair. Toronto homeowners can trust our experts to provide them with all the information before they perform their services. In most cases, a repair is used when the issue is minor—a hairline crack, a small hole, or some shifting—instead of opting for a full replacement. Replacement services are more common when the sewer line is corroded, has multiple sections of damage, or the damage itself renders the line irreparable.
