How long does a drain pipe repair take?

The duration of a drain pipe repair can vary depending on the type of repair needed and the extent of the damage.

It's important to get a professional plumber to assess the damage and provide an estimate for the repair timeline. In addition, the repair may need to be coordinated with other contractors, such as electricians or excavators, depending on the extent of the damage and the location of the drain pipes.

Here are some estimated timeframes for common drain pipe repairs:

Removing clogs

A plumber can usually remove a clog in a drain pipe within a few hours, depending on the severity of the clog and the method used to remove it.

Patching leaks

Patching a leak in a drain pipe can usually be done within a few hours, depending on the location and accessibility of the leak.

Replacing damaged sections

Replacing a section of a drain pipe can take anywhere from a few hours to a full day or more, depending on the length of the section and the type of pipe used.

Replacing the entire system

Replacing the entire drain pipe system can take several days to a week or more, depending on the size of the system and the complexity of the installation.

3 Solutions for Any Drain Problem

Drain Snaking

Armed with the most recent tools, including electric drain augers, or “snakes”, our technicians are best equipped to handle, clear, and remove any blockages in sewers and drain pipes.

Toilet clogs
Kitchen clogs
Shower & Tub clogs
Pump chambers & lines
Tree Roots in drain pipes
Drain & Sewer Backups
All types of residential and commercial drains

Hydro Jet Flushing

Sometimes sewer pipes can be extremely clogged by grease, debris or even root systems that have invaded your lines. In such circumstances, we use hydro jetting to get your plumbing free of blockages that traditional techniques can not clear.

Hydrowater Jetting Service
High-powered streams of water - up to 3,500 psi
Very effective in scrubbing piping completely clear of sand, dirt, grease, roots, and various debris
Much safer for your drain pipes, and also much more thorough vs drain snaking

Drain Replacement?

In an unfortunate event of a collapsed pipe, a pipe that has been torn apart by roots, or one that has been blocked solid by years of calcium build up - a drain replacement may be necessary. We provide high quality, reasonably priced drain replacement and repairs and can help you properly solve your drain problem.

Partial or Full Line replacements
Negative Slope Repairs
Drain Camera Inspections for accurate diagnostics
Warranty

Some of Our Drain Repair Projects

How much does a drain pipe repair cost?

The cost of a drain pipe repair can vary depending on several factors such as the extent of the damage, the location of the pipe, and the type of repair needed.

Frequently Asked Questions:

A drain pipe repair is a process of fixing or replacing a damaged or faulty drain pipe that is causing problems in a plumbing system. Drain pipes are responsible for transporting wastewater and sewage away from your home to the municipal sewer system. When a drain pipe becomes damaged or clogged, it can lead to problems such as slow draining, backups, and foul odors.

Drain pipe repairs can range from simple fixes such as removing a clog, to more complex repairs such as replacing a section of the pipe or the entire pipe system. Some common drain pipe repairs include:

Removing clogs: A plumber may use a drain snake or hydro jetting to remove clogs and blockages from a drain pipe.
Patching leaks: If there is a small leak in a drain pipe, a plumber may be able to patch the area with a specialized sealant or epoxy.
Replacing damaged sections: If a section of the drain pipe is damaged beyond repair, a plumber may need to replace the section with a new pipe.
Replacing the entire system: In some cases, the entire drain pipe system may need to be replaced if it is old or severely damaged.

It's important to have a professional plumber assess and repair any drain pipe issues to ensure that the repair is done properly and to prevent future problems.

Recent Reviews

I had an old sewer pit in the house with improper lid, which didn't seal the pit properly, could feel the sewer smell in the basement. Called several companies and every one of them said the only way is to replace the whole pit (they can't make a custom lid for the existing one). Other companies quoted more than $4000 for the job, plus 2-3 days of work(=several days of mess in the house). I tried to resolve the issue by other means: installed a fan, tried to seal the pit in different ways. Nothing helped. A friend of mine suggested them as a reliable and reasonable company. They came the next day after my call, gave me a much better quote ($1000 less than other companies), did an amazing very clean job in 1 DAY! Since then, my problem was resolved - no more sewer smell in the house. The pit works perfectly and will last a long time. I am very satisfied with their services and wish I knew about them earlier and didn't spend money on other stuff that didn't work. Would definitely recommend to everybody I know.

Canadian Rooter responded quickly to my call, even though it was on a weekend. My house still had old clay drains and after experiencing sewage back-ups due to tree roots in the drains I finally decided to replace the pipes under the house. The supervisor explained clearly how the work would be done (main line relacement inside, backwater valve, two floor drains and 12 feet drain replacement outside) and the crew arrived promptly as scheduled the following Monday. The job was done quickly as promised and the crew left the basement working area clean. The supervisor even called me at work during the daytime to update me on the cause of an obstruction in the outside drain. A project which could well have been unpleasant turned out to be a pleasant experience, as it left me feeling I could trust CR and I ended up happy that I had the work done. The price as well seemed reasonable. They made me feel that they were working in my best interest.

I phoned several plumbing services early in the morning to get an estimate on clearing our clogged kitchen drain. They said they'd have someone call me back, or could send someone out "this afternoon". But Mike took my call promptly, arranged to come to my house that morning, arrived on time, gave me a firm - and competitive - cost, and set to work with professionalism and real expertise. When the snaking didn't clear the drain Mike was ready with a larger machine, which did the trick. He cleaned up everything neatly when he'd finished, gave me some useful advice on preventing future clogs and was helpful and courteous throughout. I'd recommend Mike anytime! Those other guys? I'm still waiting for them to return my call......

Lisa

Top notch service!! Called at 10:45 on a Friday with kitchen sink clogged. I put 2 days into trying to correct the problem myself. Service rep Nat was over in about 1 hour. Went above and beyond...Corrected the problem in a reasonable period of time. Also suggested some other measures that I could take later. Cleaned up work area completely and was absolutly a pro. Will give him and the company as a referral !!!

In late Jan. my upstairs drainage stopped working. After renting a snake and still no drainage I called Mike who came by after work a few days later. I had dealt with Mike two times before and was very pleased with the results. This time he checked out the symptoms and then camera'd the sanitary line. Turns out the line was jammed with roots from a nearby tree. He quickly sized up what needed to be done and what the total cost would be. I agreed to what he suggested and he said he would arrange to get the City permit and get the job started ASAP. He called later in the week and said the guys would be here at 9 AM Monday. The crew arrived on time Monday and started work. They kept the work area as clean as possible, threw down tarps inside the door and the stairway leading downstairs. I went down after a few hours and was amazed at the progress they had made. They had dug up the 30 + plus feet under the floor that needed replacing and had removed the main stack which provided drainage from the main floor. They were starting to install the replacement PVC. Around 3 PM, they let me know that I could now use my water and toilet which I did! They left around 5 and said they would return the next morning again to finish. They arrived the next morning and this time were cleaned up and gone before 12 noon. They would return to backfill 3-4 feet that was left open for the Inspector to view the backwater valve. Upon that inspection, the remaining section was backfilled and cemented. The job came out great and the workmanship was top notch. Mike dropped by a while later to settle up the final payment and did a quick snake out of the bathroom/kitchen line which was still causing a bit of a problem. After that I was 100% satisfied with the results. Thanks Mike and crew!
