Sewer problems can bring a home or business to a standstill. Slow drains, sewage odours, soggy yard patches, or wastewater backing into tubs and toilets are more than inconvenient—they can signal hidden pipe damage, root intrusion, or collapsed sewer lines. These issues are common across Metro Vancouver due to older clay tile systems, shifting soils, heavy rainfall, and mature tree root growth.

Minimal digging, fast turnaround | Full excavation required |
Protects landscaping & driveways | Used when pipes are severely collapsed |
Ideal for clay tile, cast iron, PVC, ABS | Best for complete replacements |

Recurring backups, sewage odours, soggy patches in your yard, or multiple fixtures draining slowly often indicate underground sewer damage. A Sewer Camera Inspection provides a clear diagnosis, helping determine whether repair or Trenchless Sewer Replacement is needed.
Yes. Trenchless technology works well for older properties with clay tile or cast iron systems common in Vancouver, Burnaby, and New Westminster. It repairs pipes without digging up landscaping, driveways, or concrete areas.
Roots can be removed using Hydro Jetting and root-cutting tools. To prevent them from returning, damaged pipes must be repaired or replaced. Lining via trenchless repair provides long-term root resistance.
When groundwater rises, fractures in older sewer pipes allow stormwater intrusion, causing backups into homes. Camera inspection and trenchless sealing protect against this common Lower Mainland issue.
Most homeowners should schedule a sewer camera inspection every 1–2 years, especially in older neighbourhoods or properties with large trees. Commercial properties benefit from annual inspections.
