Edmonton Sewer Line Installation Service

• Slow Drains: A clogged drain may be the culprit. Although most of us will deal with blockages, sometimes water pooling up in your drains and trickling out slowly is indicative of a much more serious problem. For example, a clog in your sewer line will ripple out to other facets of your plumbing system and can result in everything from leaky pipes to sewage backups resulting in costly water damage to your home.
• Funky smells: If you’re smelling a random rotten-egg-like or moldy odour coming from your plumbing fixtures and floor drains, that’s a clear sign something is off.
• Odd Noises: Do you find that your toilet burbles every time you run water in a nearby fixture like a washroom faucet or shower? No, your house isn’t haunted. Odd sounds from fixtures interacting with one another tell us that there is a broken pipe or serious blockage that may require sewer line replacement.

This depends on age, location, and personal preference and typically comes in three materials: clay, cast iron, and PVC plastic. Mostly, clay and cast iron are being phased out, with PVC being the most commonplace. What Is The Proper Slope For The Main Drain?

The standard requirement is two feet per every drop of 100 feet of run. To get the right percentage, you have to subtract the ending from the starting elevation. This will equal out to the drop in elevation. Now, divide the total drop by the entire length of your pipe to determine the ratio for your line.

In some retrofit installations, there is not enough elevation between the sewer leaving the house and where it leaves the property to obtain proper grade. In such circumstances, the options for repair and replacement aren’t great, but there are options that are available depending on the circumstances.

The rule of thumb for preventing backups is to treat your overall plumbing system well and know your habits, climate, and area well enough to take preventative measures. Whether your system is brand-new or ten years old, property maintenance will protect you from potential backups.

That being said, if your system is quite old, or if there are other factors on your property that could lead to a backup or damage, a new installation could provide some extra protection against a backup and other types of plumbing emergencies.

In the event of a sewer backup for which emergency plumbing service is required, we always recommend checking with your neighbours to find out if they’re experiencing something similar. This way, you will know if the city infrastructure is at fault for any disruptions or if your own system is to blame.

We recommend being constantly vigilant of what should and should not go down your drains if you want to avoid future appointments for sewer line repair and replacement. In particular, you should avoid the following.

• Food leftovers: Keep food like coffee grounds, eggshells, rice, pasta, oil, and liquid grease out of your sink and toss it into your compost instead.
• Hairy situation: Keep hair out of drains using a mesh hair catcher.
• Don’t get wiped out: Avoid tossing flushable wipes and paper towels down the toilet.

As with many plumbing repair costs, this highly depends on the type of replacement you ask for and the damage you’re experiencing. Methods that use trenchless technology require less labour and time, and can therefore reduce costs, but trenchless technology is primarily applied to repair services and is only possible if the existing pipe is still intact.

If your main line has suffered from a collapse or is severely corroded, the trenchless method won’t be of any help and excavation is required to remove the damaged line. For this costly repair or replacement service, it will require more labour, time and new materials. Likewise, if your water line is also damaged or close to collapsing, it may be recommended that you spend the time to replace it as well during your appointment for sewer replacement in order to save costs on future water line replacement services.
