What is trenchless pipe repair?

A method for fixing or replacing underground pipes without major digging. We repair the pipe from the inside or break apart the old one and pull a new one in, keeping your landscaping, driveway, and walkways intact.

What does trenchless pipe repair cost in Toronto?

It depends on pipe length, depth, and condition. Trenchless services generally fall between $3,500 and $15,000. A video inspection is needed for accurate pricing. The upfront cost can run higher than traditional digging, but you save on restoration since there's no torn-up yard or driveway to deal with afterward.

How does the process of trenchless pipe repair work?

Trenchless pipe repair is fast and requires no major digging. Here's how it works, from start to finish: Our technician opens small access holes to reach the pipe. A hydraulic-powered bursting head breaks up the old pipe. This creates room for a new pipe with better flow capacity. The new pipe is pulled into position using hydraulic power.

Will my lawn or driveway be affected by trenchless repair?

Trenchless repair keeps disruption to a minimum. With just one or two small access points, your lawn, garden, driveway, and walkways stay untouched. There’s no need for extensive digging or major excavation.

What warranty comes with trenchless pipe repair?

All trenchless pipe repairs and installations come with a long-term warranty and are built to last for decades.

Does trenchless pipe repair in Toronto require a permit?

Yes, sewer and drain replacements in Toronto require a permit. At Dr. Pipe, we take care of the entire process, including securing permits, coordinating inspections, and ensuring all work meets local municipal codes and regulations.

How do pipe relining and pipe bursting compare?

They're both no-dig methods, but the approach is different: Pipe Relining feeds a resin-coated liner into the pipe, which cures into a seamless new pipe inside the old one. Pipe Bursting splits the old pipe apart while pulling a brand-new one in along the same path.

When does a pipe issue call for trenchless repair rather than just cleaning?

Recurring clogs, unpleasant odours, soggy patches in the yard, or basement backups can signal deeper structural issues rather than a simple blockage. A professional drain camera inspection can pinpoint the cause and determine whether routine cleaning is enough or if trenchless repair is the better solution.

Which pipe materials work with trenchless technology?

Our trenchless solutions are designed to repair or replace many common pipe materials found in Toronto homes, including clay and cast iron. They’re also effective for pipes damaged by cracks, root intrusion, corrosion, and general wear over time.

Mika

Very happy with the work that I done today to fix some issues that were causing a nuisance. Elvis did an amazing job. He was prompt, thorough, kind and explained his process in detail which I appreciate very much as a first time home owner who doesn't know a whole lot about plumbing/home repairs. Would highly recommend and I'm keeping the contact information saved in case of future needs (I hope that won't be the case) Thanks Elvis!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Mika, for such a great review. It was a pleasure for us to read it! Thanks for the recommendations as well.

Will Wong

Had a clog in the pipe under my kitchen sink. Elvis was very nice and informative in explaining the situation on what the issue was and how to further prevent it in the future. The service to fix the problem was quick and not a big mess. Highly recommended.

Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your positive review. Let us know if we can help you. Sincerely, Dr. Pipe.

G Smart

I am beyond happy with the toilet replacement service done by Elvis! He was very nice, explained everything. It's an old house, so not 100% standard and required some elbow grease. He put in a great effort, not just with the replacement, but cleaning the area, and dealing with some tricky parts. The price was also very fair. I would definitely recommend or call again. Thank you, Elvis!!

Response from the owner:Thank you for the good review. Let us know if you need more plumbing work. Sincerely, Max and Elvis
