How Long It Takes and the Procedure
The duration of a drain pipe replacement can vary depending on several factors such as the length of the pipe, the depth of the pipe, the location of the pipe, and the type of material used for the replacement. Here are some estimated timeframes for drain pipe replacement:
- PVC or ABS pipes: The replacement of a drain pipe with PVC or ABS pipes can usually be completed within a few days, depending on the length of the pipe and the complexity of the installation.
- Cast iron pipes: The replacement of a drain pipe with cast iron pipes can take longer, usually up to a week or more, depending on the length of the pipe and the complexity of the installation.
- Excavation: If excavation is needed to access the drain pipe, the replacement can take longer, usually up to a week or more, depending on the depth of the pipe and the amount of excavation needed.
It's important to get a professional plumber to assess the damage and provide an estimate for the replacement timeline. In addition, the replacement 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.
Below is the step-by-step procedure for a typical drain replacement:
1
Inspection
A professional plumber will inspect the existing drain
pipe to assess the extent of the damage and determine if
replacement is necessary.
2
Removal
The old drain pipe is removed, either by excavation or by
accessing it through an opening in the building.
3
Installation
The new drain pipe is installed, either by connecting it
to the existing plumbing system or by creating a new
connection.
4
Testing
The new drain pipe is tested to ensure that it is
functioning properly and there are no leaks.
Drain pipe replacement can be a complex and time-consuming process, requiring specialized knowledge and equipment. It is important to hire a professional plumber.
Drain Replacement Services
Trenchless Sewer Repair
Trenchless sewer repair is a smart way to fix or replace underground pipes without lots of digging. It uses methods like pipe relining and trenchless drain repair. In pipe relining, they put a tube with resin inside the old pipe. The resin hardens and makes a new pipe inside the old one. Before any work starts, a video drain inspection checks out the pipes.
Pipe Bursting
Pipe bursting is a trenchless method used when old pipes can’t be fixed. It's needed when:
- Severe Damage: Pipes are cracked or fallen apart.
- Old Pipes: Old materials need full replacement.
- Increasing Capacity: Replacing small pipes with bigger ones for better flow.
This method breaks the old pipe and lays a new one at the same time, causing less disruption.
Emergency Drain Replacement Services
Emergency services can get to you fast, often in an hour. In the GTA, our emergency plumbers are available 24/7 to provide quick help and fix urgent problems quickly. In an emergency drain replacement, first, there’s an inspection to find the problem. Our plumbers use video inspections to see what’s wrong. Then, we perform needed repairs like sewer line fixes or drain excavation to get everything working again.
Preserving Property Integrity and Preventing Major Damages
Being aware of signs that you need a drain replacement can prevent severe issues. Frequent clogs or slow drains may indicate bigger problems. Regular inspections for leak detection can catch issues early. Using camera inspections and drain snaking, plumbing professionals can find and fix problems quickly.
Timely drain replacement is key to avoiding major plumbing problems. Replacing damaged pipes can stop wastewater backups and prevent water damage. Underground pipe replacement or repair can also boost your plumbing system's efficiency. Fixing these problems early helps avoid costly damage and potential health risks, thereby maintaining your property’s overall value and structural integrity.

municipal sewer system. Over time, drain pipes can become
damaged or corroded, leading to leaks, blockages, and other
problems.

drain pipe is beyond repair or is no longer functioning
properly.

Timely drain replacement helps prevent wastewater backups,
reduces the risk of water damage, and improves plumbing
efficiency. It also prevents costly repairs and potential
health hazards caused by leaks or blockages.
Frequent clogs, slow drains, and leaks are key signs that you
may need drain replacement. Regular inspections, including
camera inspections and drain snaking, can help identify issues
before they escalate.
Drain replacement often involves trenchless technology, which
minimizes digging and disruption. Plumbers conduct a thorough
inspection and may use techniques like pipe relining or
trenchless sewer repair. If necessary, traditional excavation
methods may be required.
The cost depends on factors such as the extent of sewer
damage, the method used (trenchless vs. traditional), and any
additional repairs required. A video drain inspection helps
assess the problem and provides an accurate cost estimate.
Trenchless sewer repair fixes or replaces underground pipes
without extensive digging. Methods like pipe relining are
used, and a video drain inspection is performed before work
begins.
Trenchless technology offers minimal disruption, increased
efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. It reduces labor costs and
preserves landscaping by eliminating the need for large-scale
excavation.
Pipe bursting is required for severely damaged or outdated
pipes or when increasing capacity. This method simultaneously
breaks the old pipe and installs a new one, reducing surface
disruption.
Turn off the water supply, contain the leak, and avoid using
affected drains. These actions help minimize damage while you
wait for the plumber to arrive.
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......

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!
