FAQs
How long does a typical sewer line last before needing repair or replacement?
Clay and cast-iron laterals laid in the fifties and sixties will last for about 50 years, and sometimes less if there are tree roots, heavy traffic, or road salt that breaks down clay sewer pipes. New PVC or HDPE pipes can often survive 70 years or more, but nothing underground is immortal. When a pipe line reaches 40 years, watch for slow drains and gurgling toilets; those little clues mean the main drain pipe is having problems. Rooter-Man will diagnose the problem with a drain snaking camera, then provide a free estimate for a sewer line repair or replacement, before the next winter freeze turns a small crack into a complete pipe collapse. Acting early costs less than digging up a broken main after the winter.
Do you offer trenchless sewer line repair and hydro‑jetting services?
Yes, and most neighbours never notice we were even there. Trenchless pipe bursting technology or cured-in-place lining, lets us swap out a damaged lateral through two neat access holes, saving your garden and driveway. Before any liner goes in, we scour the pipe with hydro-jetting at up to 4,000 PSI, stripping grease, scale, and roots back to bare wall. A live camera feed shows the clean run, then we pull the new line and test the flow on the spot. With trenchless sewer line repair, you get a brand-new pipe without the mess of a week-long dig.
What are the signs that I need sewer line repair rather than simple drain cleaning?
A single slow sink is usually a clog. When toilets bubble, tubs back up, and the floor drain burps at the same time, the trouble runs deeper. Watch for wet grass over the line, a foul odour near the foundation, or sudden visits from rats, which love a cracked pipe. If heavy rain triggers backups, the main pipe may have broken, shifted or collapsed. Our snaking camera inspection confirms pooling water, offset joints, or tree roots in the sewer line. When we see those images, we recommend sewer line repair instead of another temporary fix like sewer snaking or cleaning. Fixing the root cause early keeps basements dry and sanitation bills in check.
Do you offer emergency sewer line repair services in Toronto?
Absolutely. Sewers choose inconvenient times to fail, so our phones stay live day and night. When you call, a dispatcher grabs the details and sends a fully stocked truck packed with camera gear, pumps, a jetter, and excavation equipment, aiming to provide immediate service anywhere in Toronto, the GTA or surrounding regions. First, we restore flow to stop flooding, then we video-scope the pipe and explain the next steps. Transparent pricing and digital photos followed by an emailed assessment all within the hour. Insurance adjusters appreciate the instant documentation. With 24/7 sewer line repair service, you do not have to wait for Monday to get your home back to normal.
What maintenance can prevent the need for future sewer line repairs?
Start with simple kitchen habits: scrape grease into the bin, never the sink, and keep so-called flushable wipes out of the toilet, because they are not really flushable. Outside, plant thirsty trees at least three meters from the line and direct downspouts onto the lawn, not the sewer. Schedule hydro-jetting and a camera inspection every couple of years to catch early cracks or root hairs. Installing a cleanout near the foundation lets us service pipes quickly if trouble returns. Following these steps lowers the odds that you will need costly sewer line repair in the future. A few minutes of upkeep beats a weekend with no drain plumbing.
