Drain Repair & Installation in Toronto, North York & Markham
Professional Drain Repair, Replacement & Installation
A slow or frequently clogged drain isn’t always a cleaning problem. Cracked pipes, deteriorated drain lines, poor connections, corrosion, shifting pipes and improper drainage can all cause recurring issues that won’t disappear with another temporary cleaning.
The Great Plumbing Co. provides professional drain repair and installation services throughout Toronto, North York, East York, Leaside, Richmond Hill, Thornhill, Scarborough, Markham, Vaughan, Etobicoke, Brampton, Pickering, and Ajax.
Whether you have a damaged drain that needs repair, an aging line that should be replaced or need new drainage installed during a renovation, our licensed plumbers can evaluate the system and recommend an appropriate solution.
Our approach focuses on identifying why the drainage problem is occurring so we can address the underlying issue rather than repeatedly treating the symptoms.

Signs Your Drain May Need Repair
An occasional clog doesn't necessarily mean you have a damaged drain. When the same problems repeatedly return, however, something more significant may be happening inside the drainage system.:
Signs that may indicate drain repair is needed include: :- Recurring drain backups
- Drains that repeatedly become clogged
- Multiple slow drains
- Persistent sewer or drain odours
- Gurgling sounds
- Water backing up into other fixtures
- Unexplained wet areas
- Drainage problems that return after cleaning
- Visible corrosion or damaged piping
- Frequent toilet backups
- Older drain lines with known deterioration
- Changes in drainage performance
These symptoms can have several causes, which is why accurate diagnosis should come before deciding whether a drain needs cleaning, repair or replacement.

Drain Cleaning vs. Drain Repair: What's the Difference?
This is an important distinction for homeowners experiencing recurring problems.
Drain cleaning removes material restricting the flow of wastewater, such as grease, debris, hair or other buildup. Drain repair addresses physical problems with the drainage system itself. If a pipe is cracked, separated, badly corroded, collapsed or improperly installed, repeatedly cleaning it may temporarily improve drainage without solving the underlying problem. Signs that you may need more than drain cleaning include:- The same drain repeatedly backs up
- Multiple cleanings haven't provided lasting results
- CCTV inspection shows pipe damage
- Roots repeatedly enter the line
- The pipe has collapsed or shifted
- Sections of plumbing are significantly deteriorated
Our plumbers can help determine which service makes sense based on the condition of your system.

What Causes Drain Pipes to Fail?
Aging Drain Pipes
Older plumbing materials may corrode, crack, deteriorate or develop weakened connections as they age.
Tree Root Intrusion
Roots naturally seek moisture and may enter existing openings or damaged joints in underground drain and sewer lines. Once inside, they can restrict flow and contribute to further damage.
Shifting or Settling
Changes in the soil around underground pipes can cause sections of a drain line to move, separate, sag or lose proper alignment.
Corrosion
Certain drain materials can deteriorate over time, reducing the internal diameter of the pipe and weakening its structure.
Improper Installation
Poor slope, inadequate connection or incorrectly sized drainage can create persistent problems even when the pipes are relatively new.
Physical Damage
Construction, renovations, excavation or other activity around the property may damage existing drain lines.
Understanding the cause allows our plumbers to recommend a solution based on the actual condition of your system.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my drain needs repair instead of cleaning?
If a drain repeatedly backs up after cleaning, has visible leaks or a camera inspection identifies cracks, corrosion, separation or structural damage, repair may be necessary.
Why does my drain keep clogging after it has been cleaned?
Recurring clogs can result from buildup returning, but they may also indicate tree roots, damaged pipes, poor slope, corrosion, or another structural problem. Further diagnosis can identify the cause.
Can a cracked drain pipe be repaired?
In many cases, yes. Whether localized repair is appropriate depends on the location, severity of the damage, pipe material, accessibility and condition of the surrounding drain.
When should a drain line be replaced?
Replacement may be recommended when deterioration is widespread, a pipe has collapsed, repeated repairs are occurring or the existing drain can no longer provide reliable performance.
Can tree roots damage a drain line?
Yes. Roots can enter existing cracks or openings in underground drain and sewer lines. As they grow, they can restrict wastewater flow and contribute to additional pipe damage.
What are the signs of a broken underground drain?
Possible signs include recurring backups, multiple slow fixtures, unusual odours, wet areas, gurgling plumbing or drainage problems that return after cleaning. A CCTV inspection may help identify underground damage.

Can you install new drains during a renovation?
Yes. We can install or modify drainage for bathroom, kitchen, basement, laundry and other plumbing renovation projects, depending on the requirements of the property.

No. CCTV inspection is a diagnostic tool. It allows the plumber to see inside the pipe and identify problems so the appropriate cleaning, repair or replacement service can be recommended.
