Comprehensive Trenchless Drain Repair Services

Trenchless pipe repair is exactly what it sounds like. It involves repairing or replacing drains and sewer pipes without tearing up your entire yard. Traditional methods require large trenches, often damaging lawns, driveways, property interiors, and walkways. With trenchless technology, only small access points are needed.

At Water Pro, we use specialized equipment to repair or replace damaged drains efficiently to save property owners time, money, and unnecessary hassle. This less invasive approach also helps maintain landscaping.

At Water Pro, we have the equipment, skill, and experience to handle trenchless drain repairs to restore your drainage system quickly and efficiently. Our plumbers will first assess your drain issues, perform a camera inspection to pinpoint the exact damaged section, assess the nature of your pipes, and recommend the right underground drain repair method.

We often recommend the trenchless pipe bursting method or repairs, as this drain replacement or repair approach offers the following benefits.

Cost-Effective Drain Repairs

Trenchless drain repairs can save you money over time by avoiding the high costs of large-scale excavation. This method reduces labor hours, minimizes the need for heavy machinery, and eliminates costly landscaping restoration. Thus, trenchless sewer repair is cost-effective in the long run.

No More Time-Consuming Repairs

We complete most trenchless sewer line repairs within a single day. This means less downtime to your Toronto home or business and a faster return to normal use. You benefit from quick results without compromising the quality or durability of your pipe repairs.

Minimal Excavation

Instead of digging long trenches to access drains and sewer lines, trenchless repair requires only small entry points (we use hydraulic power to drill only two holes to access the pipes). This preserves your yard, driveway, garden, and finished interior. Whether you need pipe replacement or a broken sewer line repaired, we’ll have full access to the pipe without digging.

Environmentally Friendly Option

With less digging, trenchless pipe repairs cause minimal disruption to the soil. This reduces waste, helps protect trees and landscaping, and minimizes harm to surrounding ecosystems. Thus, it is a responsible choice for homeowners who value environmental preservation.

Durable and Efficient Drains

The trenchless method uses strong, corrosion-resistant liners or resins to create a new pipe inside the old one. When installed correctly, the repaired pipe can last many decades. Remember, our plumbers can perform both trenchless drain replacement and repairs.

Enhanced Drain System Performance

Trenchless repairs create a smooth, seamless lining inside the damaged drain. This reduces friction, prevents debris buildup, stops tree root penetration, and helps prevent future clogs. As a result, your entire drainage system will flow more efficiently and require less maintenance.

Are Trenchless Repairs Ideal for all Pipe Types?

Not all pipes can be repaired using trenchless methods. Factors such as pipe material, existing pipe condition, and extent of damage will determine compatibility. For example, old pipe systems like clay sewer pipes may not be ideal for trenchless repairs.

However, we may recommend a trenchless drain or sewer line replacement for such pipes. Note that our team will first assess the entire clay pipe or sewer line to determine whether trenchless technology is ideal for your damaged line.

Schedule a Drain Inspection

Our team uses advanced drain cameras to inspect your pipes from the inside. This allows us to see the exact problem and decide whether trenchless repair is the best option for your old sewer line or drains. Remember, routine inspections can help identify debris buildups before they progress to severe clogs or other forms of damage.

Why Choose Our Plumbers for Trenchless Pipe Bursting & Repairs

Our in-house plumbers use advanced drain cameras to inspect your drains before performing any repairs. The camera is mounted on a flexible cable and captures detailed images of the pipe’s interior. This helps us locate damage, blockages, or cracks without digging. We then implement trenchless repairs to seal cracks or use the pipe-bursting method to replace the old pipe.

01Initial Drain Inspection

We use high-definition camera inspection to pinpoint the exact damage and assess the pipe’s structural integrity. This includes identifying cracks, corrosion, tree root intrusions, or blockages. The footage provides a clear map of the affected area, allowing us to plan accurate repairs. This step ensures no hidden issues remain undetected before beginning the trenchless restoration.

02Cleaning & Preparation

Our plumbers use hydro jetting to clear the inside of the damaged pipe. This removes tree roots, mineral buildup, and hardened debris, leaving a smooth pipe interior. Clean pipe surfaces are essential for proper bonding of the liner material. This preparation step ensures maximum durability and long-term performance of the repaired pipe.

03Drain Measurement and Planning

Next, we take precise measurements of the existing pipe’s diameter, length, and bends, particularly for the section that needs repair. This information allows us to prepare a custom pipe lining (liner) that matches the exact specifications of your system. Remember, pipe bursting may require more liner materials than targeted repairs.

04Liner Installation

The Water Pro team uses high-density polyethylene (or other recommended liner material). We use specialized equipment to pull the liner into place without excavation. The process eliminates the need for large trenches and preserves landscaping and your property’s interior. This method effectively creates a new line while simultaneously replacing the old pipe.

05Curing Process

Once positioned, the liner is inflated with air or water pressure to mould tightly against the original pipe’s walls. Heat or UV light is applied to cure the resin and harden it into a solid, jointless surface. This creates a corrosion-resistant interior that restores the full structural strength of the pipe.

06Final Inspection

A second camera inspection verifies that the liner is fully bonded, smooth, and free from wrinkles or defects. This step ensures that water flow is completely restored and the repair meets all technical standards. Any remaining debris is flushed out before reconnecting the drains.

07Service Restoration

Once we verify that the pipe replacement or repair is complete, we reconnect all drains and restore water or sewer service to the property. We perform pressure tests and functional checks to confirm proper operation. This final step ensures your system is fully functional, leak-free, and built to withstand many years of use.

Cost of Trenchless Drain Repair in Toronto

The cost of trenchless drain repair or replacement depends on several factors, including the pipe’s size, length, location, and the level of damage. The two most common trenchless methods are pipe relining and pipe bursting, each with different pricing.

Trenchless pipe relining involves inserting a resin liner into the damaged pipe through a small access point or existing cleanout. Once cured, the liner forms a smooth, durable new pipe inside the old one. For a 4-inch pipe, relining generally costs $350 to $370 per linear foot. Larger pipes, such as 8-inch lines, may require special materials and custom pricing.

In contrast, pipe bursting restores the damaged pipe entirely by breaking it apart while pulling in a new pipe. This method requires at least two small access points and is more complex than relining. For a 4-inch pipe, pipe bursting costs often range from $400 to $450 per linear foot.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of the trenchless repair costs.

Method Pipe Size Estimated Cost per Linear Foot (CAD)
Trenchless Pipe Relining 4-inch $350 – $370
Trenchless Pipe Relining 8-inch Custom pricing
Trenchless Pipe Bursting 6-inch $400 – $450

While trenchless repairs may seem costly per linear foot, they often avoid the high expenses of restoring landscaping, driveways, or flooring. For example, pipes under concrete can be replaced without large-scale demolition, making the trenchless technique ideal for both efficient and cost-effective repairs in many Toronto properties.

FAQs

How long do trenchless drain and sewer line repairs last?

When properly installed and maintained, trenchless sewer and drain repairs can last between 50 and 100 years. Different methods, such as relining or pipe bursting, have varying lifespans, but both provide a durable, long-term solution for your property.

How does trenchless drain repair work?

Trenchless repair uses a resin-coated liner inserted into the existing pipe. The liner expands and bonds to the interior walls, sealing cracks and leaks. This creates a strong, smooth pipe inside the old one and restores function without extensive excavation.

How long should you run water after pipe repair?

After a service line replacement, running water through all faucets for a few minutes helps flush out debris or particles that may have entered the system during the repair. This will ensure safe and clean water throughout your property.

What’s trenchless pipe bursting?

Pipe bursting replaces an existing pipe along its current alignment without excavation. This trenchless tech breaks the old pipe apart while simultaneously pulling in a new pipe. Thus, no need for extensive digging.

What are the benefits of trenchless repair?

Trenchless repair is faster, less disruptive, and cost-effective. It preserves landscaping, driveways, and flooring while reducing labour and restoration costs. Also, this drain repair approach creates a durable, corrosion-resistant pipe interior and restores full flow.

What’s the cost of trenchless drain repairs in Toronto?

Costs vary depending on the pipe size, length, condition, repair method (relining or pipe bursting), and access. Water Pro encourages requesting a free quote for accurate pricing for your specific drain or sewer line repairs.

Does homeowners’ insurance cover trenchless drain repair?

Most standard insurance policies do not cover trenchless drain repairs. Review your policy or contact your insurer to confirm coverage. Knowing your policy details can help you plan and avoid unexpected out-of-pocket expenses.

Water Pro Master did a great job of waterproofing my basement. Perfect and dry ever since. I wanted to make a alteration to the outside drain and they came the next day and fixed it charging me only for the materials despite it taking hours to complete. They didn’t have to do that, but they did. These guys are true pros as their name says. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else.
