Sewer Repair Edmonton

Clogged drains are among the most common plumbing issues homeowners face. A plunger handles soft blockages, but deeper problems aren't always obvious until things get worse.

Underground Services and Trenchless Methods for Comprehensive Sewer Repair: Edmonton Area

This trenchless repair method was originally named “cured in place pipe” installation and involves the process of wrapping a fibreglass/resin liner around a rubber hose to feed it through the affected pipe and install it in the damaged area. Once this new sleeve cures in place, your sewer pipe’s original functions will be restored, ensuring minimal disruption and a seamless sewer repair.
Pipe bursting doesn’t require a trench, but it does require smaller excavations, one in the basement and one at the property line. For this repair option, our experienced plumber digs two access holes that allow them to feed through a cable from one end to the other. Hydraulic pressure breaks apart the old sewer pipe as the new pipe drags through the opening. Both ends are then connected back to the existing sewer pipes, and everything drains properly once again.
This is what it sounds like: digging a deep trench down to your sewer to repair or replace it. In some cases, pipe lining or pipe bursting are not feasible options for your sewer repair. Our Edmonton plumbers, as a result, will then need to fix the damage the old-fashioned way through digging. Rest assured that we will exhaust all other options before resorting to excavation for your sewer line repair in Edmonton.

FAQs About Sewer Repair: Edmonton

The cost of your sewer repair service depends on a variety of factors, including the extent of damage, the type of repair method, and the complexity of the plumbing system, so it’s hard for us to provide an accurate estimate until we can come out to your home and inspect your sewer lines. However, when seeking sewer repairs, Edmonton homeowners can rest assured that we will strive to provide affordable and time-saving options for their sewer line repair.

Edmonton plumbers, for instance, can often offer pipe lining services in many cases. Pipe lining, also known as sleeving, is the most common and cost-effective trenchless method used today. It’s minimally invasive, requires no digging, and lasts for as long as 50 years. The cost, however, depends on the exact location of the damage and the linear footage and diameter of the replacement liner we install. However, there will be cases where it’s not effective to use trenchless methods for sewer repair, so our Edmonton plumbers will need to dig up your property to access the damaged pipe.

We won’t be able to determine that until our professional plumbers have completed a plumbing diagnosis. Feel free to contact us to learn more about our upfront pricing system and cost guides. We also offer financing options and special offers to provide more affordable prices for plumbing repair costs, making it easier for you and your wallet to access the much-needed sewer repair in Edmonton.
Every property owner is responsible for their own private sewer system, whether it is maintenance or a plumbing repair. This includes the drain under your home and extends to your property line. Should you ever experience unexpected plumbing disasters, such as flooding or a sewer backup, your home insurance company may cover some water damage, and some insurers even offer “Service Line Coverage,” which can provide funding to help cover some of the costs of replacing your sewer if it meets certain criteria. We recommend inspecting the sewer first before filing a claim in the event of a backup.
When a cast iron pipe was first installed, it was, no doubt, performing optimally. Although it has a lifespan of 50 to 100 years, it is highly recommended to consider replacement before the end of its lifespan.

Cast iron drains tend to rust and corrode inwards, eventually wearing right through the bottom of the pipe. Nowadays, builders have shifted away from cast iron due to its weight, high costs, and complex installation process. What would make it even more bothersome is a future replacement that requires excavation, which would also be expensive.

Very few homes in Edmonton have cast-iron sewers; however, almost all pre-1980 homes have cast-iron drains under the basement slab. That said, if you have a cast-iron sewer line and it is still in reasonably good condition, it is feasible for our plumbers to perform repairs on it. Edmonton plumbers can even provide pipe lining as a trenchless repair option, provided the cast iron is intact.

That said, depending on the age and condition of your sewer line, our plumbers may recommend replacement over further sewer repair. Edmonton homeowners, however, can trust us to provide unbiased, professional advice on what would work best for their home’s plumbing system and walk them through all available options.
In the case of pipe lining the sewer must be exceptionally clean prior to installing the liner. That’s why, before the start of a sewer line repair, Edmonton plumbers will often complete some hydro jetting.

You may be familiar with it when you hire Mr. Rooter Plumbing for drain cleaning services. Our HydroScrub^® Jetting technology utilizes high-pressure water jets to break through tough clogs and clear pipe walls of sludge, mineral deposits, and other debris. This helps us have a clearer review of what we’re working with and ensures that mineral buildup and pipe clogs don’t impact the effectiveness of your sewer repair in Edmonton.
During the plumbing diagnosis and inspection portion of your service, we use video inspection to identify the type of sewer line damage present and determine the best course of action for your sewer repair. Edmonton plumbers will use highly specialized plumbing video cameras, which are attached to a flexible cable. The camera is fed through the sewer cleanout, travelling as far as it takes to the trouble spot.

During the inspection, our professional plumber can determine the material, age, and condition of your pipes via video footage displayed on a monitor, along with the exact location and cause of any damage, allowing us to determine the type of sewer repairs Edmonton homeowners may need.
Edmonton, Alberta, residents may need a sewer line repair for several reasons. While some issues may not always be preventable, several common problems require sewer line repair. Edmonton plumbers frequently encounter sewer issues because of the following:
- Tree root intrusion
- Corrosion
- Deterioration
- Ground shifting
- Collapse
- Misaligned pipe sections
- Clogs and blockages
- Bellies and backgrading
We will provide you with a sewer pipe repair that addresses these issues and solves the problems with your sewer line. Whether we provide a complete sewer replacement or utilize a trenchless sewer repair, Edmonton homes are in good hands with our team.
The length of your sewer service will depend on how much damage is done to your sewer line. We understand that a damaged sewer line can cause numerous issues for your home, including slow-draining water, gurgling sounds, and clogs. Repair work can take anywhere from a few hours to several days, depending on the extent of the damage and the reason for the sewer repair.

But Edmonton homeowners can depend on our high-quality services when they need them most. We pride ourselves on providing fast and efficient service. Once we determine the root cause of the issue, we can provide you with an estimated timeline for the repair work.
Putting off your repairs today can only result in more costly repair or replacement services later on. It could also result in frequent backup problems and extensive water damage. We never advise leaving problems unaddressed, regardless of whether it's a leaky drain or a sewer line repair. Edmonton residents can rely on Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Edmonton for reliable solutions to all their plumbing needs.
Edmonton winters are no joke, and a sewer problem doesn't wait for spring. Frozen ground can make some excavation work more challenging, but our team has the equipment and experience to handle repairs year-round. Trenchless methods like pipe lining are often a solid option during colder months since they don't require digging through frozen soil to get the job done. If you're dealing with a backup or slow drains in January, don't put off the call. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Edmonton is available to assess the situation and work through the options with you.
Your private sewer lateral runs from the foundation of your home out to the property line, and everything on your side of that line is your responsibility to maintain and repair. Past the property line, the City of Edmonton takes over. If you're not sure where the break is, a video inspection will show us exactly where the damage sits and whether it falls within your property. From there, we can advise you on whether to contact the city or move forward with a repair through our team at Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Edmonton.
Older Edmonton homes carry a higher risk of sewer issues simply because the materials used back then weren't built to last forever. Clay tile and cast iron pipes were standard for decades, and many of them are reaching the end of their functional lifespan now. A proactive video inspection can catch root intrusion, cracking, or deterioration well before you get a backup or notice sewage smells in the yard. Catching a problem early almost always costs less than dealing with an emergency. Our team can give you a clear picture of what's down there.
Our work is backed by the Neighbourly Done Right Promise®, which reflects our commitment to quality on every job we take on. Specific warranty terms can vary depending on the type of repair performed, the materials used, and the scope of the work. When you book a service with Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Edmonton, our team will walk you through what's covered before any work begins. We want you to feel confident in the repair, not just relieved it's done.
A few patterns tend to show up before things get serious. Multiple drains backing up at the same time are a strong indicator. Gurgling sounds coming from a toilet when you run a sink in another room is another one worth paying attention to. Sewage odours around floor drains, slow drains throughout the house rather than in one spot, and water pooling around the basement floor drain can all trace back to a sewer issue rather than a simple clog. If you're noticing any of these, contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Edmonton to book an inspection before the problem gets worse.
Don’t turn a blind eye to slow drains or frequent clogs, as they could indicate a more serious problem deeper down the line. Hire Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Edmonton for a professional drain and sewer service to address the problem right away. Ever faithful to Edmonton's residents, we also provide excellent plumbing service to our neighbours in Mill Woods, Terwillegar Towne, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, and beyond!
