Inspection
Most of the time, homeowners have no idea what's causing the problem with their floor drain or where exactly in their system the trouble is originating. This is understandable—you can only see an inch or two into your drain and the issue is usually far deeper into your sewer lines. That's why the first thing your Mississauga plumber will do is complete a thorough inspection. This may just involve a visual inspection of the visible components, but in some cases, it's necessary to go in with a video camera inspection that will help us see deep into your sewage lines and diagnose the problem so we can come up with the right solution to get it repaired.
Powered Augers
It's important to take care of an inspection first, as what we discover will help us figure out the most effective approach to resolving your Mississauga basement drain backup. If it's related to a hard blockage or a clog that is really tightly packed into your line, powered augers may be the best choice. Also called a drain snake or electric snake, a powered auger is a cable attached to a motor that runs through your line until it hits the blockage and either breaks it up so it can move out of the pipe or pulls it back up out of your drain.
HydroScrub® Jetting
Stubborn clogs that are formed by grease buildup, clumps of hair, and other "soft" substances are considered soft blockages, and powered augers aren't typically the most effective way to clear them out when dealing with a basement drain backup. Instead, your Mississauga plumber may choose to go with hydro jetting—a technique used to clean out the inside of wastewater disposal lines by blasting them with jets of pressurized water that push the debris forward out of your system and into the city sanitary sewer. Hydro jetting is also an excellent preventative maintenance measure because it gets rid of clog-causing buildup before it has a chance to cause a nasty basement drain backup.
Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement
In most cases, a Mississauga basement drain backup can be handled without the need for drain line repairs or replacements. However, there is occasionally a situation where the lines are in rough shape due to a problem such as a tree root intrusion, and they do need to be relined or replaced entirely. The good news is that these processes no longer require a large trench to be dug across your property, which would damage your lawn and landscaping. Instead, our plumbers will dig a small hole at either end of the section being repaired. Then, we'll either apply a new lining to the damaged pipe or, in cases of severe damage, break apart the existing line with hydraulics and pull a new line into the space left behind.
