Trenchless methods, such as pipe lining and pipe bursting, enable sewer repairs without major excavation, preserving landscaping and minimizing disruption. Trenchless repairs can also reduce project timelines by over 50% compared to traditional open-trench methods, according to the Canadian Water and Wastewater Association. To learn more about trenchless sewer services, consult with our plumber and determine if trenchless repair is a viable option for your property's age, pipe material, and tree root risk

When you have hidden leaks in your home, our plumbers will use video camera inspection, thermal imaging, and acoustic listening devices to pinpoint leaks inside walls or underground. By detecting leaks early, you can reduce water loss and prevent 30% of insurance claims for water damage in Ontario homes, according to the Insurance Bureau of Canada. Watch for signs of water stains, musty odours, or unexplained spikes in your water bill.

Nepean is no stranger to cold weather, and extreme winter cold can freeze poorly insulated pipes, causing them to expand and rupture. That's why preventive insulation and proactive winterization are so crucial in Nepean homes. Ottawa Public Health receives dozens of calls each winter about frozen or burst pipes, especially in unheated basements. Don't let your home be one of them. To protect your home from frozen pipes, call us today and disconnect outdoor hoses and insulate pipes in attics, crawl spaces, and exterior walls before winter

We utilize it for a wide range of services, including maintenance and repairs. Its primary purpose is to help us locate pipe damage from the surface. The video camera works in conjunction with a signal receiver that helps our Nepean plumber locate clogs and other drain issues. While it can identify pipe material, age, and condition, it cannot detect leaks without additional support, such as acoustic listening devices and thermal imaging.

Please note: When in need of leak detection services, video inspection alone won’t help locate the damage. Additional plumbing tools include infrared/thermographic imaging devices.

HydroScrub^® Jetting

The HydroScrub^® Jetting device is our equivalent of the Ghostbusters’ proton pack! Hydro jetting is designed to blast away stubborn debris and other substances that block your pipeline from flowing. It’s superior to its snaking counterparts because it delivers faster and more effective results.

The device consists of a high-pressure hose connected to a water pressurizer and tank. Our Nepean plumber can fit different types of spray nozzles on the end of the hose, depending on the purpose of the cleaning and the type, size, and condition of your pipes. The average psi used to clear drains starts at 1,500 but can reach up to 3,500. For this reason, only certified, local Nepean plumbers should handle the HydroScrub^® Jetting device.

Unlike regular drain issues (which often mark the beginning), sewer backup warning signs typically indicate that the system is under a lot of stress. As soon as you notice these signs, consult our local Nepean plumber for a closer investigation to prevent severe damage that could lead to costly repairs.

• Gurgling toilets
• Slow-moving drains
• Standing water
• Foul odours
• Recurring backups and drain clogs (including laundry drain lines)
• Leaky drains
• Sink flies
• Sewage backup (around the basement floor drain)
• Draining cleanout
• Wet patches on the lawn

This involves numerous factors, ranging from problematic household habits to external influences. Luckily, with preventive maintenance and proper tips, most problems can be prevented or at least minimized. First, let’s understand the causes that hurt your underground pipes.

• Poor drain management: Do you flush dental floss, hair, and other debris down the toilet? Or, when doing the dishes, do you tend to wash down large food particles, oil and grease? These are problematic habits that can cause significant damage to your wastewater lines. Not only do those items create nearby clogs, but they will also lead to early wear. Even if they reach your sewer main, your pipes are not immune to debris settling on the walls. Our local plumber in Nepean recommends annual drain and sewer cleaning services if you suspect your system is prone to clogs and other issues.
• Tree roots: Do you live near large trees? If so, do you know when you last had a tree root inspection? It helps to note that tree roots occupy an area up to four times the diameter of the crown. If your sewer line is nearby and made of porous materials, the roots will be able to penetrate your underground pipe, allowing them to access water and nutrients easily. This is an example of a backup caused by sewer damage, for which our professional service will apply additional repair methods.
• Foundation Cracks: Soil shifting, home settling, and nearby construction work can cause soil compaction, which affects your underground pipes, especially when they are built underneath your concrete slab. Cracks and holes will lead to leaky pipes and backups, which our plumbers have seen on many properties.

Now you know backups could come in the form of sewer damage. Therefore, it’s important that our local Nepean plumber’s inspection and diagnosis identify the exact problem. During the inspection, our expert determines the age, material, and condition of your pipe. The clog must be eliminated before any sewer repairs can be made. As soon as we know it’s in decent condition, we’ll be able to map out trenchless repair methods.

Trenchless Sewer Repair Methods

This technical procedure requires a highly trained and insured plumber. Nepean property owners who fall victim to sewer damage can rest assured knowing that trenchless technology is a non-invasive repair procedure that helps rehabilitate underground pipes without digging up landscapes and concrete.

• Pipe Lining: This method, also known as “Cured-in-Place Pipe” (CIPP), describes a non-invasive underground piping method for installing, fixing, and rehabilitating damaged sewer lines. Our Nepean plumber drills two small access points to access the operational areas. A new pipe placement is then pulled through the old one.
• Pipe Bursting: During this process, we use hydraulic tools to burst the old sewer from the inside while installing a brand-new lining.
