Sewer Line Repair & Replacement
Licensed plumbers are ready 24/7 to fix or replace your sewer lines.
In many situations, old pipes crack or shift as the ground moves, which allows waste and water to gather in one spot. On top of that, tree roots often invade older pipes while searching for moisture.
Replacing a sewer line in Toronto isn’t simple. Several steps need to be followed, and if there’s a tree near the work area, a tree specialist may need to inspect it. In some boroughs, this check is a required part of the process to make sure the work won’t harm the tree or cause it to fall later. We at Prof Fix Plumbing and Drain run a camera inspection first. This check helps confirm whether the sewer line is causing the trouble.

Sewer Line Repair
When your sewer line runs into trouble, it can mess up your whole home’s plumbing. In that case, you need quick repairs to keep things flowing smoothly. A professional plumber can help you avoid bigger problems in the future.
Common Causes of Sewer Line Damage
Shifting Soil
When the ground moves, your pipes move with it. Heavy rain, drought, or nearby construction can cause the soil to shift. This pressure bends or cracks your sewer lines and leads to slow drains, odd smells, or total blockages.
Grease Build-Up
It’s easy to pour hot grease down the sink and forget about it. But as it cools, it clings to the inside of pipes, trapping hair, food, and other debris. Over time, this thick, sticky mess narrows your sewer line until it stops waste from flowing through.
Old Construction Materials
Decades-old homes might still have clay, cast iron, or Orangeburg pipes underground. These outdated materials crumble, rot, and collapse under modern water use and pressure.
Nearby Tree Growth
It’s not the big tree roots you see, it’s the tiny hair-thin roots that slip through pipe joints searching for moisture. Once inside, they grow into thick webs that snag everything.
Signs you might need a repair
Your home gives you hints when the sewer line is in trouble, but most people ignore them because they are looking for the wrong signs. Here is what you should actually watch out for.
Lawn Patches
If one patch of your yard suddenly turns greener and softer than the rest, it means something is wrong there. It often happens when a sewer leak occurs beneath the surface.
Water Level Fluctuations
When your toilet water rises too high one day and drops too low the next, it’s not a coincidence. Fluctuating water levels suggest a blockage or break is disrupting the pressure balance in your sewer line.
Frequent Sewer Smell
A bad odor you can’t trace around your property or basement isn’t just bad air. It means gases are escaping from a crack or blockage and warns you before the real mess starts.
Slow Drains
If more than one drain in your house starts slowing down at the same time, that’s no coincidence. It points out a problem in your main line.
Sewer Line Replacement
When a sewer line doesn’t work well, it causes a lot of issues. It silently puts your home at risk from the ground up. Plus, it can impact the structure of your home and the quality of the space you live in. Many property owners aren’t aware that the sewer lines running beneath their property are their responsibility. By the time clear signs appear, the issue has usually spread further than expected.
Thanks to the modern sewer line replacement, it is a good option and makes your life much easier. With today’s trenchless technology and advanced inspection tools, it’s possible to replace or repair damaged lines with minimal digging and far less disturbance to your yard and landscaping. This method is faster, cleaner, and often more cost-effective over the long term.
The early signs of sewer line problems are easy to ignore. A drain that’s slower than usual, occasional gurgling sounds, or a bad odor around the yard may not seem urgent. However, these signs point to deeper issues that worsen with time. In that case, home or business owners should not wait too long, otherwise, major complications can happen like sewage backups, property damage, and major repair costs.
At Pro Fix, our approach to sewer line replacement focuses on accuracy and long-lasting results. Every property has a different layout, soil type, and set of challenges underground. That’s why we start with a camera inspection to identify the exact cause and location of the problem. This allows us to create a clear, efficient plan customized to your property’s needs.
Replacing a sewer line is a long-term investment in your home. New piping materials offer better resistance against future damage and meet current plumbing standards. In many cases, this work can also improve your property value.
The work beneath your home might be out of sight, but its condition affects everything above it. A well-executed sewer line replacement prevents future issues and keeps your property safe, clean, and functioning smoothly for years.
Our Sewer Service Process
We treat every sewer job in the best way possible. Behind every pipe is a home, a family, and a property that deserves careful, skillful work. Our process begins with a thorough inspection using advanced camera equipment. This lets us see exactly what’s happening inside the sewer line without digging up your yard.
Once we understand what’s happening underground, we build a plan based on your property’s layout and the condition of the existing line. Some jobs need trenchless technology, while others may need a section replaced through minimal digging.
Before any work begins, we explain the process in clear, simple terms so you know exactly what to expect. There is no vague advice or complicated process explanation. During the replacement or repair work, we make sure to offer you quality results and leave your property with no mess.
Once the job is done, we test the new line to confirm it’s working properly. We believe in completing the work on time. The result is a sewer system that works smoothly and adds strength to your property’s overall structure.
