Is your basement floor drain backing up every time it rains, or are you calling someone to clear the same blockage every year? These are common signs of a damaged sewer lateral. In many older GTA neighbourhoods, sewer lines are clay or cast iron that has cracked, shifted or filled with roots over the decades.

We offer sewer line repair and replacement for homes and small buildings across Toronto, Peel and Halton. We start every job with a camera inspection and show you what we find, so you can make a confident decision without feeling pressured.

Camera footage you can see for yourself

Many homeowners worry that a camera inspection is just a way to sell a bigger job. We share the footage and walk you through it, pointing out the joints, cracks, roots or sags that matter. You can keep a copy and get a second opinion if you like.

Repair, line or replace

There are several ways to fix a sewer line, depending on what the camera shows. A single damaged section can often be repaired on its own. Lines with cracks along their length can be lined or replaced trenchless with pipe bursting. Severe sags or collapsed pipe usually need open replacement. We explain each option and why we recommend it.

Add flood protection at the same time

If your line is being replaced, it is often the right time to install a backwater valve. The excavation or access is already there, and the valve can qualify for rebates in Toronto, Peel and Halton. We include the rebate details and your cost after the rebate in your written estimate.

Our approach

How we repair and replace sewer lines

Camera first, always

We run a camera from the cleanout to the City connection and share the footage with you, so you see the problem before we quote.

Spot repair where it fits

If one section is damaged and the rest of the line is sound, a targeted repair is often the most cost-effective choice.

Trenchless replacement

For lines with damage along their length, we replace them with pipe bursting or lining through small access points where the ground allows.

Open replacement when needed

Some lines, such as those with severe sags, need open excavation. We explain why and keep the dig as short as we can.

Our process

How we work

Every job follows the same six steps, so you always know what happens next and what it costs.

  1. Camera first

    We look inside the pipe or trace the line before anyone talks price, so the quote is based on what is really there.

  2. Written quote

    You get an itemized estimate in writing, with the rebates that apply and your cost after them.

  3. Permits booked

    We pull the plumbing or building permit and book the inspections with your municipality.

  4. Low-dig work

    Where the ground allows, we use trenchless methods to replace pipe through small access pits.

  5. Restoration

    We backfill, compact and tidy the site. Any concrete, sod or finish restoration is listed line by line in your quote.

  6. Rebate filing

    We prepare the invoices, photos and permit proof your rebate application needs.

FAQ

Sewer Line Repair and Replacement questions

Straight answers to the questions homeowners ask us most. If yours is not here, give us a call.

Who is responsible for the sewer line?

The homeowner is usually responsible for the sewer lateral on private property. The municipality is responsible for the part under the road allowance. If our camera shows a problem on the City side, we give you the footage so you can report it.

How do I know if I need a repair or a full replacement?

The camera footage tells us. A single crack or offset may only need a spot repair. Damage along the full length, severe sags or collapsed pipe usually call for replacement.

Can tree roots be cleaned out instead?

Roots can be cut out with drain cleaning or hydro jetting, but they grow back through the same cracks. Cleaning buys time, while repair or replacement solves the problem.

Is there a rebate for sewer line repair?

In Halton Region, lateral lining or repair qualifies for 50% of the cost up to $4,000. Adding a backwater valve can qualify for rebates in Toronto, Peel and Halton.
