What Are the Drain Replacement Methods?
In Ottawa, you have a few options for drain replacement methods. Our no-obligation inspection will give us insight into which option may be best suited to your drain repair. Your choices for drain service include:
- Traditional repair: A trench is dug to gain access to the underground pipes. We may use heavy construction equipment to excavate your lawn, and refill the area to complete the repair. The traditional repair has the advantage of exposing the problem to our experts (and everyone else) to see.
- Trenchless repair: A method of pipe repair that leaves your lawn relatively undisturbed. A video inspection is performed, and holes are dug at the beginning and end of the damaged section of pipe. No trench is required.
- Pipe bursting: New pipe is passed through old, damaged pipe. The old pipe bursts as the new drainage system is set. This is best for PVC, clay, concrete, iron, terracotta and other pipe systems.
- Pipe relining: While this method involves some digging, it is less than the traditional method. It creates a “pipe within a pipe”. Pipe relining is best used to seal cracks, and repair holes, and damage caused by roots and rust.

FAQs
1. What is sewer drain replacement?
Sewer drain replacement means removing an old or broken sewer pipe and installing a new one. This helps your wastewater flow properly, preventing backups, leaks, foul odors, and property damage.
2. What are the signs that my sewer drain may need to be replaced?
Some warning signs are slow drains in your home, frequent clogs, bad sewer smells, water collecting in your yard, or tree roots growing into the pipe. These problems usually mean the pipe is cracked, collapsed, or badly damaged and can’t be fixed by just cleaning.
3. How is sewer drain replacement carried out?
First, a detailed inspection is conducted, often with a video camera, to identify and assess the damage. After finding the problem, the damaged part of the pipe is replaced. Depending on the situation, this might mean digging up the area or using a trenchless method that needs less digging and causes less mess.
4. How long does sewer drain replacement take, and will it affect my property?
How long it takes depends on how long and how damaged your sewer line is. Traditional replacement may need digging that can disturb your yard, but trenchless methods usually cause less mess and are faster. After checking your pipes, Dr. Pipe can give you a clear idea of how long it will take and what to expect.
5. Who is responsible for sewer drain replacement in Ottawa?
In Ottawa, homeowners are usually responsible for the sewer line on their property up to where it connects to the city’s main sewer. The city is responsible for the public sewer main under the street.
