Drain Replacement Edmonton, AB

There are very few things that should actually go down the drain inside your home. These include water, biological waste, toilet paper, and soap. The last two items on that list can still lead to a clogged drain and damage over time, which is why regular drain cleaning is always recommended for Edmonton homes. Still curious about what shouldn’t go down your drain? The most common household items that should not include:

• Feminine hygiene products
• Baby wipes (even flushable ones!)
• Cotton swabs
• Food & grease
• Chemical drain cleaning products
• Diapers
• Paper towels

How often drains are replaced depends on the damage they have sustained over time. Pipes are made from a range of materials with different lifespans but can last up to 100 years if made from cast iron or more if your home has PVC. Sewer lines break for different reasons, so while your pipes may last that long when in perfect condition, they might encounter damage that leads to the search for “drain replacement near me”.

Another important factor to keep in mind is that how well you take care of your drain line will determine how long it lasts. Those who seek regular maintenance will enjoy smoother operation and fewer issues, though we do recognize that some types of drain damage are beyond your control. For example, tree roots and corrosion from hard water. Regular maintenance also involves regular inspection, so though these factors may be beyond your control, getting your drain line inspected means that you could turn the need for a full drain replacement in Edmonton into a simple, non-invasive drain line repair.

It depends. Often, it won’t be completely up to you as to whether your sink, toilet, or floor drains are repaired or replaced. Plumbing is one of the most important systems in Edmonton homes, which means that when facing a broken sewer line or pipe, it needs to be remedied right away. Now, depending on the severity of the issue, we’ll either recommend a pipe repair or replacement.

Sometimes, you’ll have the choice of doing a complete replacement rather than a repair, but it likely won’t be the other way around. Repairs are suggested for smaller plumbing issues, such as tiny cracks and pinholes in an isolated part of your pipe. Sewer lines with multiple issues or those facing excessive corrosion will need to be replaced.

When is a repair the appropriate solution? When your pipes are in good condition but have minimal damage. Some examples include hairline cracks and slight corrosion damage. We offer trenchless drain line repair services for issues such as these that will be completed in a single day.

We hate to say this, but often, when you need drain replacement, you’ll know. The symptoms of a broken drain aren’t pretty, especially when you consider what our drains carry away from our homes. With that said, not all symptoms of a broken drain can be seen by the untrained eye. In case you need confirmation of what the warning signs you need drain replacement are, check out the list below:

• Slow drains / slow water flow
• Unpleasant odours and sewer gas coming from your kitchen sinks, bathtub, and toilet
• Gurgling, bubbling, or sucking noises around your plumbing fixtures
• Frequent toilet clogs
• Sewage backup
• Extra green grass in your yard (excess water pooling)
• No water in your toilet

If you notice any of these signs, call your local plumber right away. We offer 24/7 emergency services should you experience a sewer backup, a clog that won’t quit, or any other issues that require immediate attention. Whether you need commercial plumbing or residential plumbing, we're here to answer your call.

The actual cost of your drain replacement in Edmonton really depends on your plumbing system.

Once we come to inspect your plumbing, we will provide you with upfront, fixed pricing that won’t change when it comes time to pay the bill. What’s more, we’ll never charge you any overtime or weekend fees should the job take a little longer than expected.
