Sewer Line Repair Services in Toronto, North York & Markham
Sewer line damage can become a serious plumbing problem when cracks, blockages, or collapsed pipes affect your home’s drainage system.
A damaged sewer line can cause some of the most disruptive plumbing problems a homeowner can experience. Recurring backups, slow drains throughout the house, unpleasant sewer odours, gurgling toilets or wastewater coming back through fixtures can all indicate a problem with the main sewer line.
The Great Plumbing Co. provides professional sewer line repair and replacement services throughout Toronto, North York, East York, Leaside, Richmond Hill, Thornhill, Scarborough, Markham, Vaughan, Etobicoke, Brampton, Pickering and Ajax.
Sewer lines are often located underground, making it difficult to determine the source of a problem without proper diagnosis. Our licensed plumbers can assess the symptoms, inspect the accessible plumbing and recommend the appropriate solution based on the condition and location of the sewer line.
Whether you’re dealing with a recurring sewer backup, tree root intrusion, a cracked pipe or a collapsed sewer line, addressing the problem early can help prevent more extensive damage.

What Is Sewer Line Repair?
Sewer line repair addresses damage or problems affecting the pipe that carries wastewater away from your home and toward the municipal sewer system or another designated wastewater connection.
Unlike a typical clogged sink or toilet, a sewer line problem can affect multiple fixtures throughout the property.
Depending on the condition of the line, sewer problems may involve:
- Cracked sewer pipes
- Broken or separated pipe sections
- Tree root intrusion
- Collapsed sewer lines
- Corrosion
- Offset pipe joints
- Damaged connections
- Significant buildup
- Improper pipe slope
- Aging underground plumbing
A professional assessment helps determine whether the problem can be repaired locally or whether a larger section of the sewer line needs to be replaced.
Signs Your Sewer Line May Need Repair
Sewer line problems can develop gradually or appear suddenly.
Common warning signs include:- Multiple drains backing up at the same time
- Recurring toilet backups
- Sewer odours inside or outside the home
- Gurgling toilets or drains
- Wastewater backing up into sinks, tubs or floor drains
- Drains that repeatedly become clogged
- Slow drainage throughout the house
- Wet or unusually green areas of lawn
- Sinkholes or depressions near underground sewer lines
- Repeated problems despite drain cleaning
- Sewage appearing around floor drains
- Changes in drainage performance throughout the property
One clogged fixture doesn't necessarily mean the sewer line is damaged. However, problems affecting multiple fixtures at the same time can indicate an issue farther down the drainage system.
Sewer Line Repair vs. Drain Cleaning
Not every sewer backup requires sewer line repair. A blockage caused by grease, debris or another obstruction may be resolved through professional drain cleaning or hydro jetting.
However, if the pipe itself is damaged, cleaning the line may only provide temporary relief.
Sewer line repair may need to be considered when:
- The same blockage repeatedly returns
- Tree roots continue entering the pipe
- CCTV inspection shows structural damage
- The sewer line has cracked or separated
- The pipe has collapsed
- Multiple sections are deteriorating
How CCTV Inspection Helps Find Sewer Problems
Because sewer lines are commonly underground, determining the exact condition of the pipe can be difficult without looking inside it.
A CCTV sewer inspection uses a specialized camera to examine the interior of the sewer line. Depending on the system, a camera inspection may identify:- Cracked pipes
- Broken sections
- Tree roots
- Offset joints
- Corrosion
- Heavy buildup
- Foreign objects
- Collapsed sections
- Pipe separation
- Other structural abnormalities

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a sewer line problem?
Multiple slow drains, recurring backups, gurgling toilets, sewer odors, wastewater coming back through fixtures, and repeated blockages can indicate a sewer line problem.
Does one clogged toilet mean my sewer line is damaged?
Not necessarily. A single clogged toilet may simply have a localized blockage. When several fixtures are affected or the problem repeatedly returns, a larger drainage or sewer issue may need to be investigated.
Can tree roots damage my sewer line?
Yes. Tree roots can enter cracks or gaps in underground sewer pipes and grow inside the line, restricting wastewater flow.
How do I know if tree roots are inside my sewer pipe?
Recurring blockages, especially in an underground sewer line, can be caused by root intrusion. A CCTV inspection can provide a visual assessment of the inside of the pipe.
Can a sewer line be repaired without replacing the entire pipe?
Sometimes. If the damage is limited to a specific section and the rest of the line remains in good condition, localized repair may be possible.
When does a sewer line need to be replaced?
Replacement may be appropriate when the pipe has collapsed, has widespread structural damage, has multiple severely deteriorated sections, or repeated repairs are no longer providing a reliable solution.
Is hydro jetting the same as sewer line repair?
No. Hydro jetting cleans the inside of compatible sewer and drain pipes using high-pressure water. It does not repair a cracked, collapsed, or structurally damaged pipe.
Can a sewer line problem cause bad smells?
Yes. Damaged or blocked sewer lines can allow wastewater odors to become noticeable inside or around a property.
What is a CCTV sewer inspection?
A CCTV sewer inspection uses a camera to examine the inside of a sewer pipe. It can help identify problems such as roots, cracks, collapsed sections, buildup, and separated joints.
