Water and Drain Line Services

Gone are the days of having to have your entire yard dug up to find the damage and make repairs. New equipment and advanced technology allow us to locate and fix the problem without making a big mess.

Trenchless pipe repair not only saves your property from getting dug up but the work can happen much faster and it saves you a lot of money.

Some of the services that Summit Drain offers include:

Drain Line Repair

Drain pipes can get clogged and blocked. This can happen with too much waste passing through and getting stuck or a build-up of other debris that stops the flow of waste in your system.

You may notice a bad odour emitting from your yard or basement. There could be water coming back up the drain in your sink, there may be a gurgling sound, or the water just doesn’t go down the drain.

Water Line Repair

Your water pipes can get clogged with dirt, and a build-up of minerals like salt and lime. The water pipe drainage can get clogged with grease, hair, and other types of deposits that need to be removed.

These repairs can be done easily and quickly. We use the camera to find the problems and then get to work to fix them or remove the clog. If it is a leak, we can fix it the same way.

Trenchless Sewer Line Repair

Trenchless sewer line repair uses a camera to send through your pipes and locate the problem. Once located, a double-layered lining that contains epoxy and an inflatable bladder is sent in.

When we inflate the lining, the epoxy is released and it forms a barrier on the damaged area. It works to form a new pipe inside the old one. There is no or very little digging, no mess, and it is much faster.

Frozen Pipes

When the ground freezes, so can the water or waste inside your pipes. Freezing causes it to expand and this can often make a pipe burst.

Depending on the damage and where it is, it may need to be dug up.

Leaking Pipes

Another common issue is leaking water pipes. This can happen if the pipes are old, are damaged from tree roots or a nearby disturbance.

You may not know there is a leak for some time. A slow leak will take a while to show itself. Low water pressure is a good sign and watch for puddles forming on your lawn where the water is moving up.

Low Water Pressure

You may be noticing that your water pressure is not what it used to be.

This can be from a build-up of minerals and other debris that gets into your water system naturally.

FAQ

A main sewer line blockage can cause water to backup in random places. For instance, you run your washing machine and notice your sink overflowing – this can be a clear sign that you have a clogged drain line.

If you have ruled out a potential sewer drain clog, you can rinse your sewer drain by flushing it with water. When you flush your lines, try adding a bit of drain cleaner to the water. A great place to flush your sewer line is the toilet – a larger amount of water and drain cleaner can enter your system quickly and easily. Unfortunately, if you do this when you have a clog, it can cause backup and potential flooding – if this is the case, clear the clog first.

You should generally know if your sewer line is blocked with slow drainage. The purpose of the sewer line is to take all the water drainage away from your house via sinks, bathtubs or toilets – if you find that there is slower drainage in one drain then you can essentially clear that yourself using a drain snake or a plunger.

There is confusion regarding when you are responsible for sewer line repair. While some may believe that the homeowner is only responsible for repairing the part of the line that’s on their property, this is not the case. Sewer lines consist of multiple sections, the upper lateral, lower lateral and the main line. The city is only responsible for repairing the main sewer line.

If issues with the main sewer line cause damage to your lower lateral, which is most likely where the damage would generally first start – the city would repair this damage when they work on the main sewer line. Unfortunately, if there is backup and flooding on your property from the main sewer line, then the city would not be responsible. It is best to follow up with the city to see if they will repair any damage in these cases.

Unpleasant smells coming from your drains is indicative of sewer line issues and damage. You should always take these types of smells seriously as it could be toxic fumes slowly releasing from the sewer below into your home.

There are a number of ways to clear a slow drain using products found around the home:

Bent Wire – If you do not have a drain snake, you can try using a stiff wire – like one from a clothes hanger, leaving the hook to enter pipes and pull out any clogs. Try to make sure you don’t push debris further into the pipe.

Homemade Flush – Mixing baking soda and vinegar can dissolve any materials that are potentially clogging your drain pipes. This is a good and much safer alternative to store-bought chemical cleaners.

Toilet Plunger – Like plunging a toilet, you can try using this on your drains. Using a plunger on your drains can help get things moving by using suction. This should be enough to fix any mild blockages.

Aged drain pipes are at risk for corrosion which can lead to breaks. Summit Drain has both the technology and expertise to fix this if necessary.

Yes. Drain pipes are durable, but not meant to last forever. If you live in an older home in Ottawa, most likely the pipes are made from copper and can collapse in this day and age.

When it comes to a collapsed drain, call Summit Drain. We use trenchless technology to replace sewer pipes made from original materials without ruining your property.

Rock salt
Rock salt helps by removing moisture from the roots, which in turn kills them. Two lbs should do the trick, pour 1 down the toilet. Flush until gone. And repeat with the next. Then leave for 12 hours and don’t run any water.

Foaming root killers
Another effective way to treat roots in pipes is with foaming root killers. Pour powder into toilet and flush. It will foam upon contact with water. Not only does it help dissolve current roots, but also helps to protect against future ones.

Copper sulfate
Copper sulfate is another good option. Available at most hardware stores, pour roughly half a cup into toilet and flush until gone. Leave the home and take all pets and family members along. This is a toxic substance and banned in some places.

Should I replace old pipes?
There does come a time where it makes sense to replace your pipes. Over time they crack and corrode. It is recommended to begin routine inspections once your home reaches 50 years in age. For plumbing Services in and around the Ottawa area, nobody does it like Summit Drain.
