Sewer Backup Oshawa

Sewer line issues rarely occur overnight unless it is caused by a natural disaster, such as heavy rainfall or flash flood. While preventative maintenance and protective plumbing devices are designed to lower the risk of plumbing disasters, they need regular inspections to remain in working order. But when disaster strikes and you have a sewer backup, Oshawa plumbers at Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Whitby-Oshawa are just one call away.

  • When dealing with sewer backups, Oshawa homeowners may be experiencing a minor incident where only the toilet is overflowing, but this situation could easily worsen and start affecting other drains in your house.

    Heavy rains could also overwhelm the city sewer and start pushing your unwanted household waste (as well as your neighbour’s!) back into your home. And if you don’t have a functioning backwater valve installation in place to prevent wastewater from flowing back, you’ll be dealing with nasty, raw sewage in your home.

    With sewer backup services, you can count on our emergency plumbers to help you with the sewage backup mitigation process to keep water damage to a minimum and protect your basement floors. At the same time, we’ll also run a quick diagnosis and inspection to get down to the root cause of this overflow using video camera inspection. If this situation is not caused by bad weather, it’s likely that you have a clog that could be caused by years of buildup or an unexpected obstruction like tree roots. If we suspect a leak, we’ll use our leak detection devices like acoustic leak detectors and thermographic imaging.

    Whether our professional plumbers in Oshawa detect a clog or a leak, the next step is to eliminate any clogs and thoroughly clean the sewer pipe with hydrojetting, which is the same high-pressure water jet unit used for drain cleaning. Once we have a clear path, we’ll be able to move on to any required emergency repairs. This may involve pipe lining or pipe bursting to restore your broken sewer’s functions.

FAQs About Sewer Backups in Oshawa

  • Unfortunately, in the event of a sewer backup, Oshawa property owners who are on a standard home insurance plan cannot count on their insurance company to cover the repair or cleanup process. However, they may cover some water damage restoration and that is it. Plumbing repairs on your sewer lateral or water lines will also be your responsibility. Of course, we are only referring to basic and standard plans, so if you live in a flood-prone area, we highly recommend that you upgrade your insurance plan to ensure you have sewer backup coverage or can rely on other sources of financial assistance.
