Many Toronto area residences, especially those built pre-1980s, still have main sewer pipes manufactured from vitrified clay. Considering that many dwellings in the city are between 80 and 100 years old, you can bet the drain pipes are many decades old, too. The main problem with clay sewer pipes is that they can be damaged by tree root penetration and cause major clogs or complete pipe failure. Since these pipes are buried underground, issues can be hidden until drainage problems like sewage backups in the basement rear their ugly heads. Working on underground pipes can be complicated, time-consuming, and costly. The process for sewer line replacement traditionally involved digging to extricate the clay pipe and replace it with a new PVC pipe. However, Dr. Pipe offers a more modern trenchless sewer line replacement method by leveraging the power of pipe-bursting technology.
Signs You Require a Drain Replacement or Repair in Toronto
If you have drain problems, we have drain solutions. Get in touch so we can repair damaged pipes without excavating your property.
Sewer lines are buried underground where they’re out of sight, and that’s one reason it’s hard to detect when something’s not quite right. There are, however, some telltale signs indicating pipe repair might be required.
- Foul Smells: If pipes carrying sewage are damaged and leak, they could unleash a foul odor. You might need trenchless sewer repair if the awful smell of raw sewage lingers around your lawn.
- Signs in the Front or Backyard: If your lawn is soggy, has bright green patches, or pools water, a drain pipe might be damaged.
- Slow Drains: If slow drains are a regular in your home, sewer line repair might be necessary. Small clogs can become bigger ones if not addressed sooner rather than later.
If you notice any of these telltale signs, our licensed professionals at Dr. Pipe can perform a video inspection service of your drain to see if there’s any damage.
How the Trenchless Method Works
At Dr, Pipe, our trenchless technology calls for using the existing clay pipe to guide a special torpedo. It travels through the existing pipe, cracks or bursts the existing pipe, and creates a larger space to accommodate the new PVC pipe. We use a powerful machine capable of handling clay pipes of 4″ or 6″ diameter. It can replace sections up to 100 feet long. Executing the trenchless method requires that we create two access points — one near the main drain at the basement’s front wall and another one close to the property line. Before starting, we perform an inspection using a special camera to ascertain the precise underground pipe location. Our Toronto plumbers know the ins and outs of trenchless drain replacement and will perform the plumbing procedure using trenchless technology.
Trenchless Drain Repair vs Traditional
Homeowners can choose one of two options when it comes to pipe replacement or repair. On the one hand, they can choose traditional excavation. On the other hand, they can select modern trenchless solutions for drain repair. One reason many homeowners prefer trenchless methods over traditional methods is that the former gets the job done without requiring massive excavation that destroys landscaping.
Trenchless drain replacement or repair is also superior since it minimizes disruption and is more cost-effective.
