Drain Replacement Mississauga

When you think about all of the possible items that can go down your drains, you’ll realize very quickly how easy it is for them to become damaged. But what ends up down your drain line isn’t the only thing that causes the need for drain replacement in Mississauga. You may be experiencing plumbing issues with your pipes due to:

• Tree Root Invasion: Trees that grow in your yard will search for water. Your pipes are full of it. Since pipes are laid through your yard, roots break through them and will eventually grow, leading to a giant hole in the pipe and a clog.
• Age: Certain pipes can last up to 100 years if taken care of properly. If your drain line was installed decades ago, there’s a chance that natural wear and tear has caused it to degrade.
• Hard Water: The GTA has hard water that’s full of minerals. Not only do these minerals create buildup on your pipe walls, but they also can corrode them.
• Lack of Maintenance: If you have not scheduled annual maintenance in more years than you’d care to admit, the cost may be buildup in your pipes that's causing damage. Hard clogs can eventually crack your pipes. Getting professional drain cleaning services annually can help prevent this from happening.
• Grease, Food & Non-Flushable Wipes: You should never put grease or food scraps down your sinks, nor should you flush feminine hygiene products, baby wipes, cotton balls, and Q-Tips. Use a drain strainer in your kitchen and bathroom sinks and showers, and only flush wastewater and toilet paper down your toilet.
• Abrasive Drain Cleaners: While some drain cleaners can help solve clogs, pouring copious amounts of drain cleaner down your fixtures can actually make the situation worse. You should never pour chemical drain cleaners down your sink, floor drains, tub drains, or exterior drains.

The one surefire way to prevent the need for drain replacement in Mississauga is to schedule regular drain cleaning services. When you call our experienced plumbers for drain cleaning, we’ll inspect your drain line for issues before using hydro jetting equipment to remove buildup or a drain snake to loosen soon-to-be clogs. In addition, you can always take care not to flush or wash anything down the toilet or sink that you should not. Additional ways to prevent the need for drain replacement in Mississauga are:

• It is important to refrain from pouring grease, oil, or food scraps down the sinks.
• To prevent hair and debris from clogging up your drains, make use of drain strainers or screens.
• To ensure a seamless flow and prevent blockages, make it a habit to regularly cleanse your plumbing pipes and eliminate any accumulation.
• To ensure a seamless flow and prevent blockages, make it a habit to regularly cleanse your plumbing pipes and clear out any buildup.

Different types of drains are found in your home, each serving specific functions:

• The kitchen sink drain encompasses various components, including sinks, garbage disposals, and dishwashers.
• Bathroom drains encompass a variety of elements, such as showers, toilets, bathtubs, and vanity sinks.
• Basement drain systems play a crucial role in various household functions. These systems efficiently handle tasks such as properly managing sump pump discharge, accommodating washing machines, and ensuring the efficient functioning of water heaters. It is common to find these drains conveniently located on the basement floor, offering practicality and convenience to homeowners.
• There are various types of exterior drains, such as downspout drains, foundation drains, and others.
• Sewer drains play a crucial role in channeling wastewater from your home's plumbing fixtures to the municipal sewer system. Damage, cracks, or collapses in sewer drains can lead to sewage backups, foul odors, and health risks. Our team of skilled plumbers specializes in replacing sewer pipelines using trenchless techniques, providing a more effective and minimally invasive solution. The various drain lines in your house are all linked to the main sewer line. They play a crucial role in redirecting wastewater from your home to the septic tank, which can be prone to backups.

With a basement flooding water or a toilet overflowing onto the floor, you may be tempted to take matters into your own hands. But here’s the thing about a drain: there’s only one in a home, and it’s buried underground. To put it simply, no, without plumbing experience and advanced tools, you cannot replace your own underground pipes. You will need to seek assistance from a certified plumber.

Over time, we’ve come to call the hole at the bottom of our sinks and tubs a "drain," but that’s not the correct use of the term. The drain in your home is the pipe underneath your home that all of your plumbing fixtures lead to.

While you can certainly replace a sink stopper yourself (though you will need the right tools, knowledge, and precision), and while you may be able to replace drain features such as the P-trap, you cannot and should not tackle drain replacement in Mississauga. That’s one of the many reasons professional plumbers exist.

How long you can expect drain lines to last has a lot to do with the type of material that is currently installed. If you have cast iron pipes, you can expect them to last around 75 to 100 years. PCV, clay or cement pipes may be able to last for as long as 100 years too. However, Orangeburg pipes can only be expected to last 50 years—and often considerably less—before you'll need drain replacement in Mississauga. Remember that wastewater disposal lines are sometimes affected by unexpected sudden damage from causes like shovel impacts, seismic activity and so on, and of course, that sort of drain line damage will cause them to need drain replacement before their time is technically up.

Plumbing problems are some of the most frustrating. Without properly draining water, you can’t carry out the tasks you need to in your daily lives. Brushing your teeth over a sink of backed-up water isn’t pleasant, and standing ankle-deep in the water while you shower is concerning.
