Toronto's Top Pipe
Patch Repair Contractor
Pipe patch is a modern, trenchless method for repairing damaged drains and sewer pipes without extensive excavation. This process relies on Cure in Place Pipe (CIPP) technology, which creates a new pipe within the existing damaged one. It restores the function of sewer and drainage systems efficiently, without tearing out walls, jackhammering slabs, or ruining your landscaping.
Our plumbers use this leading trenchless technology to help homeowners and commercial property managers address issues such as pipe cracks, leaks, corrosion, or root intrusion. The technology is designed to repair deteriorating drains while preserving the property’s structure and appearance.
At Water Pro, our team is available 24/7 for emergency and scheduled pipe patch repairs. With over 25 years of experience handling plumbing systems, we have completed hundreds of successful projects across the region. Our HomeStars Verified status, 4.9 average rating on Google, and Trusted Pros endorsement reflect our consistent reliability and quality workmanship.
Whether you need routine sewer camera inspection or trenchless drain repair solutions, let our certified plumbers inspect your plumbing system and recommend the right pipe patch option.
‘No-Digging’ Drain Repair Solutions
Pipe patch repairs address damaged pipes caused by corrosion, cracks, joint separation, and root or water infiltration, regardless of pipe age or material. Its targeted approach addresses only the areas needing restoration, reducing time, labour, and material costs. Our trained plumber can complete multiple drain pipe repairs in a single day.
Water Pro recommends a pipe patch because it offers a reliable, trenchless solution for localized pipe damage. It avoids the cost, mess, and time associated with traditional dig-and-replace drain repairs or replacements. Here are the top benefits of trenchless pipe patch repairs.
A Permanent Solution
A pipe patch creates repairs that are stronger than the original pipe material. It is resistant to damage associated with chemicals and abrasion. The process is odorless and safe for indoor use, which ensures no toxic fumes enter your home during the drain restoration.
The No Dig Alternative
This targeted pipe repair method doesn’t require excavation. Repairs can be made year-round, even under frozen ground. No more costly yard restoration or the inconveniences associated with indoor demolitions. Our plumbers will only access the part of your drainage system that needs repair.
Sectional Point Repair
Pipe patch targets only the areas requiring repairs. This sectional repair method preserves unaffected sections, saving materials, labour, and time while ensuring a precise, effective solution. That’s why our pipe patch repairs are affordable and convenient, even for Toronto homeowners with busy schedules.
Structural Integrity
CIPP (Cure in Place Pipe) technology restores structural strength to damaged pipes. Once cured, the liner reinforces the existing pipe to prevent further leaks, cracks, and collapse. Thus, our pipe patch services strengthen your pipes to withstand decades of daily use.
Increased Flow Capacity
Pipe patch minimizes diameter reduction during repairs. The liner provides a smooth, unobstructed surface inside the pipe, which improves flow efficiency and reduces the likelihood of future blockages. Remember, this pipe repair technique ensures the smallest pipe diameter reduction.
Repair Material
The Water Pro team uses durable materials for pipe patch repairs. Fiberglass liner reinforces the pipe, resin bonds the liner securely, and an inflatable bladder presses the liner against the pipe walls for a tight, seamless fit. The Result? A sturdy drain that’ll last decades.
Is Pipe Patch Perfect for Your Property?
Consider pipe patching if you need underground drain repairs. It is ideal for pipes under foundations or deeply buried, providing a practical, non-disruptive solution for hard-to-reach areas. That means our plumbers don’t need to dig to access the drain pipes.
Is Pipe Patch Ideal for All Pipe Types?
Pipe patch is compatible with common residential and commercial DWV pipes, including PVC, cast iron, and clay pipes. Its versatility allows effective repairs across different materials, which ensures reliable performance for various plumbing systems. Contact us if you need drain repairs or other plumbing services in Toronto.

FAQs
What is Pipe Patch Drain Repair?
Pipe patch repair is a trenchless method that helps fix damaged drain or sewer sections from the inside. It utilizes a resin-soaked liner to seal cracks, holes, and root intrusions. This technique restores the structural integrity of drains and efficient wastewater flow without extensive excavation.
How long does a pipe patch repair last?
When installed by licensed plumbing professionals, a pipe patch can last 50 years or more. The resin forms a seamless, watertight barrier inside the pipe, which prevents further leaks or tree root damage. Remember, the longevity of your drains depends on proper liner preparation, accurate placement, and curing. Our plumbers are trained to patch-repair drains professionally.
When is pipe patching the right drain solution?
Pipe patching is ideal for localized pipe damage, such as cracks, small holes, or short root-affected sections, rather than full pipe replacement. It works well when pipes need repairs (not replacements) and access is limited. Our plumbing technicians can assess the extent of the damage using camera inspections before recommending this targeted repair method.
Does pipe patching require digging?
No, pipe patching is trenchless. The liner is inserted through an existing cleanout or access point, instead of excavation. This means no disruption to lawns, driveways, or finished floors. It’s a preferred choice for property owners who want a durable plumbing repair without the mess, cost, and delays of digging.
How long does the repair process take?
Most pipe patch repairs are completed within a day. The process includes camera inspection, cleaning, patch placement, and curing. For short drain sections, active work time may be only a few hours. The quick turnaround reduces downtime and allows immediate restoration of normal drain and sewer use.
Is pipe patching safe for all pipe materials?
Yes, pipe patching works on PVC, clay, cast iron, concrete, and other common pipe materials. The liner bonds securely to the cleaned pipe wall, creating a strong inner surface. Compatibility is confirmed during inspection to ensure the repair will last and meet structural performance standards.
How much does pipe patch repair cost in Toronto?
Costs vary based on the pipe size, length of repair, and site access. While the initial price may be higher than some spot fixes, it’s far less than full excavation. It’s recommended to request a quotation to get detailed information about the total cost of our pipe patch repair services.
