Sinks, Tubs, or Showers Draining Slowly

  • If multiple drains evacuate water at a glacial pace, the root cause may be tree root intrusion, a break, or a clog impeding flow.

Wet Lawn

  • If your front or backyard is excessively wet, has super-green clumps of grass, or pools water, your drain pipe might need work. 

Gurgling Noises from Drains

  • Bubbling sounds from drains could result from trapped air caused by cracked or clogged pipes.

Water or Sewage Backup

  • If sinks, tubs, or toilets back up with dirty water, the reason could be a blockage or a damaged drain pipe.

Certain Utilities React to Each Other

  • Your sewer line could be acting up if flushing the toilet triggers water backups elsewhere.

Foul Odors

  • Your sewer pipe might be damaged if you notice the lingering scent of rotten eggs in your yard or around your drains.

If you see these telltale signs, contact us at Dr. Pipe to book a video inspection service of your drain. We’ll see if you need drain pipe repair or sewer line replacement and help get your plumbing system working.

The 3 Steps of a Drain Replacement Project

Preliminary Drain Inspection

We start by inspecting the sink, bathtub, and toilet drains to determine what’s wrong. If only some drains have a problem, the issue might stem from inside your home rather than the main sewer.

Video Inspection

If the problem is in the main sewer, we employ sewer video cameras to identify the precise issue and assess the pipeline’s condition.

Drain Replacement

Once the problem is confirmed, we move ahead with drain replacement to put your drain issues behind you.

What Are the Drain Replacement Options?

You have various options for drain replacement in Toronto. Our free inspection will help determine the best solution for your problem.

Traditional Drain Repair

The traditional drain repair method involves digging a trench to get to the damaged pipes. Going this route enables us to visually inspect the pipe and perform the drain repair. One downside, however, is traditional drain repair is disruptive and destroys landscapes.

Trenchless Drain Repair

Trenchless repair is a less disruptive option since it only requires creating two small holes — one at each end of the damaged pipe. This option leads to minimal property disruption.

  • Pipe Bursting involves directing a new pipe through the old pipe, breaking the old pipe as it passes through, and leaving the new pipe after the old is demolished.
  • Pipe Relining involves the  “pipe within a pipe” method that fixes cracks, holes, and damage caused by roots or rust.

Traditional vs Trenchless Drain Repair 

When it comes to drain repair, homeowners can select either traditional excavation or trenchless solutions. Trenchless methods require very little digging, while traditional methods require extensive excavation and are more invasive and costly.

Benefits of Trenchless Sewer Pipe Replacement

Higher Quality – HDPE pipes are durable and hold up better than traditional pipes.

Time Efficiency – Trenchless repair can be done in a single day, while traditional methods are more time-consuming and can take multiple days.

Less Lawn Damage – Yard disruption is minimal since only small access points are required.

Better Functionality – Trenchless pipes, which require minimal maintenance, improve water flow. The glued PVC connections stop root intrusion. Cost Effective – Minimal excavation means lower landscaping expenses and fewer repairs over time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

How can I tell if my sewer line needs to be replaced?

Before replacing the sewer line on your property, you should exhaust all other possibilities. You can count on Dr. Pipe to consider options like drain lining, pipe bursting, hydro jetting, pipe lining, clog clearing, snaking out roots, and spin cast line coating. After exhausting all other options, a licensed professional might recommend sewer line replacement.

We at Dr.Pipe Drain and Plumbing as a proffesional plumbers have the option of using a special video to inspect the sewer line. Sewer line replacement might be needed.

How long do sewer lines last?

A clay sewer line can last 50 to 60 years, a cast-iron line can last 75 to 100 years, and an ABS or PVC line can last up to 100 years.

Does a sewer line belly need to be replaced?

A sewer line belly usually occurs when a part of the sewer line sags. Unfortunately, this sagging section retains water and requires plumbing service. Because the sewer line has an inconsistent downhill slope, the water pools and can lower water flow. Call Dr. Pipe for such problems with your plumbing systems. We can fix your sewer pipe with trenchless repairs. There’s only one way to fix a belly in a sewer line and that’s to remove the old pipe, fix the groundwater near the pipe, and then install a new pipe.

How can a sewer pipe underground be fixed?

Breaking into concrete to access the sewer pipe is one option. The other two methods include pipe lining and trenchless pipe bursting.

On the one hand, pipe lining involves placing a liner into the pipe and inflating it to make a new, stronger pipe inside the existing pipe. On the other hand, the pipe bursting involves pulling a cone-tipped high-density polyethylene pipe through the damaged pipe. During the process, the old pipe is pushed out of the way to make room for the new pipe.

Why Do My Drains Clog?

    • Grease, oil, & food waste – Pouring these things down the kitchen sink can result in clogs and restrict water evacuation.

    • Hair, soap, & skin flakes  – These things can bind to soap scum, build up over time, and clog drains.

    • Tree roots & mineral buildup – Tree roots can penetrate cracks in damaged pipes and mess up the structural integrity.

    • Hygiene products & hand wipes – Hygiene products and body wipes can block drains.

Is It True That What Can’t Be Seen Can’t Be Fixed?

Our licensed plumbers will conduct an extensive drain inspection to locate any clogs using high-resolution drain cameras.

The process might uncover other previously undetected plumbing issues. Once we identify the problems, we can recommend a course of action.

Clogged Drains? No Problem!

Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing has an emergency response team with the right tools and equipment to tackle any drain situation.

You need professional drain technicians to use flexible drain snaking tools and dislodge any debris clogging your pipes. Another option is to use industrial-grade hydro jets to eliminate persistent clogs.

Broken Drains? Time For a Replacement

Broken pipes must be replaced to avoid recurring drainage issues like leaks and pipe bursts.

Upgrade your drainage system with trenchless technology, which can replace old clay pipes with new PVC pipes. A torpedo passes through the existing pipe, breaks it apart, and creates room for the new pipe. You can count on our plumbers to help with everything from sizing to installation so you get reliable water flow while minimizing disruption.
