But First, Why Do You Need to Get Your Drain Replaced Anyway?

Wondering if there are any warning signs that mandate drain replacement in your Toronto home?

Are there any red flags you should keep an eye out for?

The short answer? Yes.

There are many signs as well as contributing factors to why you may need drain replacement. Here’s a quick run-through of the common problems homeowners face:

  • Old clay pipes: Generally speaking, old clay pipes are more susceptible to leaks, cracks, and damages, leading to irreversible property damage. The best way to tackle this problem is by getting a professional drain repair in Toronto.
  • Tree root problem: Another widespread issue is the problem of tree roots, which occurs in the older areas of the city where the trees are more established. Plus, the systems servicing these areas consist of older asbestos cement and clay tile pipes, which usually don’t have permanent seals at the joints. As a result, the roots can penetrate the pipe over time. Here’s how the process works: 
    • Air and nutrient-rich water seeps from the pipes, creating an ideal growing medium for roots at any depth.
    • Any root that manages to contact this habitat ends up growing faster and proliferates quickly.
    • The roots can penetrate the pipe joints and cracks and then fill the pipes with a root mass.
    • If the roots are allowed to continue growing, they may exert enough pressure to spread the cracks of the joint or point of entry, increasing the problem.

There are many ways in which this problem can be resolved:

    • The use of plastic pipes can help eliminate root problems as long as the pipe joints are properly sealed.
    • Cutting the roots out of the pipe is a temporary fix. For instance, pruning it can encourage even more growth.
    • Treating the roots and filling the holes with special grout or relining the pipe is the most effective treatment to help prevent re-growth.

If you’re noticing the growth of tree roots within your drainpipe, it’s high time you get your drain replaced. To prevent the issue from snowballing, book an extensive drain inspection in Toronto with our team of trusted master plumbers.

  • Slow drains: The mark of a well-functioning plumbing system is proper disposal of drain water. If the water drains properly, it will also contribute to your family’s health and well-being. So, if your drain pipes are draining water slowly, they might be clogged, broken, collapsed, or ill-maintained. To tackle the problem, you may need a professional drain replacement service.
  • Clogs: A clogged drain pipe is a disaster in the making as it can lead to a leak or flooding. If you happen to notice drain backups or are experiencing foul smells in your house, the culprit might be a collapsed pipe or cracked pipe. The best way to deal with clogs is by: 
    • Replacing the drain before the problem becomes an expensive affair
    • Getting a regular drain cleaning service done to keep the pipes clear, free from any kind of obstruction, and by extension, working smoothly
  • Leaks: Pipes tend to leak due to a crack or a break. If this is not treated in time, it can cause flooding or molding. This kind of water damage can easily get out of hand and cause structural damage to your home’s integrity. For a cheap drain cleaning session, take the help of our clogged drain plumbers.
  • Age: Every drain pipe has a lifespan (about two decades or so). If you’ve been engaging in regular drain cleaning services in Toronto and following a thorough drain pipe maintenance program, the life of your drain pipe will be longer. If not, it may come apart easily. To tackle the situation with readiness, leverage our emergency drain services. There’s no drain issue that’s too complex or small for us to tackle.
