Are several drains in your basement slow, or does the smell of sewer come back no matter how often you clean? In older homes, the drain lines under the basement floor are often original cast iron or clay. Over time they crack, scale up inside and eventually fail, even if the sewer line outside is fine.
We offer drain line replacement under basement floors and inside walls for homes across Toronto, Peel and Halton. Our team scopes the pipes first, shows you what we find and gives you a written estimate before we cut any concrete.
Why drain lines fail
Cast iron corrodes from the inside, and the rough buildup catches waste and grease. Clay pipe under the slab can crack as the house settles. Once a drain is badly scaled or cracked, cleaning only helps for a short time, and backups tend to return.
A clean, careful process
Replacing drain lines inside a home takes care. We protect your belongings and finished areas, cut the concrete in straight lines and remove the old pipe. The new pipe is set at the right slope so waste flows properly, then inspected before we pour new concrete over the trench.
Plan it with your basement renovation
If you are finishing or renovating your basement, now is the time to deal with old drains. Replacing them before new floors and walls go in is far more cost-effective than opening up a finished room later. It is also a good time to add a floor drain, a rough-in for a new bathroom or a backwater valve.
