Water Line vs. Drain Line

Your home has two main plumbing lines: a water line and a drain line. The water line brings fresh water to you, and the drain line takes wastewater away from your home. It doesn’t take much beyond a cold Ottawa winter freeze to potentially cause your plumbing lines to burst. Underground plumbing lines are also at risk of destruction from root systems, which can cause clogs and leaks. Fortunately, we offer drain line inspection and trenchless water line repair to diagnose and correct problems fast and efficiently.

Trenchless Water Line Replacement vs. Traditional

Ottawa homeowners may find many benefits in trenchless water line repair, including:

Time: Using a trenchless plumbing repair eliminates the need to tear up your lawn to access the plumbing lines. This also saves you days of digging and restoration, while disrupting your water and sewer supplies. Trenchless plumbing is often completed within one day.
Quality: For trenchless drain replacement and sewer line repairs, we use pipe bursting methods and Perma-Liner. Both of these have been proven to leave you with a high-quality repair than traditional methods. Your new, robust plumbing system will be seamless and joint-free and should last for decades.
Function: Not only does trenchless repair give higher quality plumbing, but it also requires less upkeep while possibly improving flow.

Water Line Replacement Cost

The cost of the job is determined by the length of pipe replaced. Trenchless water and sewer line replacement is the cost per foot. However, due to a shorter installation time and lower maintenance costs, you will save money now and in the long run. Less installation time means lower labor costs. Not digging up your lawn saves on excavation equipment, and lawn and driveway remediation expenses are expected with a traditional repair.

Repairs that are simple and easy to reach will cost about $350 and $1,400, while a complete water line replacement will cost far more. So that which is difficult to access or necessitates the replacement of substantial pipe sections could cost up to $3,000.

Waterline problems are almost often the result of multiple issues — a clogged line, several leaks in different areas, or a somehow compromised line — and will demand a mixture of treatments, each with their set of costs. When added together, these expenses contribute to the national average; however, note that your ultimate price will vary depending on your location.
