Signs you may need sewer line repair

Frequent Drain Clogs or Slow Drainage
Recurring blockages may point to damaged or aging main sewer pipes, not just minor drain issues.

Gurgling Noises from Pipes
These sounds often signal trapped air due to partial clogs, tree root penetration, or cracked drain pipes.

Wet or Sunken Lawn Areas
A leaking or broken sewer line can saturate your yard, leaving soggy patches or sinkholes.

Strong Sewage Odour Indoors or Outside
Sewage smells around your home aren’t normal; it could mean your sewer line needs attention.

Backed-Up Toilets or Basement Flooding
Backups from your lowest fixtures indicate a clogged or collapsed sewer line needing urgent repair.

Traditional vs. Trenchless:
What’s Right for your Property?

| Traditional Methods | Trenchless Repair | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Higher due to excavation | Typically more affordable |
| Disruption | Requires digging up the yard | Minimal to no surface damage |

What customers say about our sewer repair services
From Hamilton, Ontario
They opened the basement floor and replace all with new pvc pipes.
Then they dug a 9 foot deep hole at the connection to the street line.
The most amazing part was the fabrication of a 50 foot section of pipe that was pulled into the hole and through to old clay pipe to connect to the house.
Excellent work.
Thanks Mark
Marek arrived on time, clearly explained the problem, and provided a fair estimate before beginning the work. Marek handled the repair efficiently and made sure everything was working properly before leaving. I also appreciated how they cleaned up after the job—no mess left behind.
What stood out most was their honesty and transparency. There were no surprise charges, and they took the time to answer all my questions without rushing.
Overall, I would highly recommend Drain Rescue, Burlington Marek to anyone in need of reliable and trustworthy plumbing services. It’s great to find a company that values both quality work and great customer service.

He handled the repair efficiently and made sure everything was working properly before leaving.
We highly recommend their services and again thank them for their help. God bless.
He explained everything he was trying to do to unplug our problem. Unfortunately, after trying several attempts he was unable to clear the problem because the block was major and a long way down the piping. But amazingly Drain Rescue will have a crew 1st thing tomorrow morning with the heavy equipment needed to finish the job. The total price was very fair. We feel very lucky to have found Drain Rescue and won't hesitate to recommend or use them again !
