Drain and Sewer Services Toronto
At Rooter Brothers, we have been clearing drains, repairing sewer lines, and solving underground pipe problems across Toronto and the GTA for over 15 years.
Toronto Drain and Sewer
Toronto has one of the most varied housing stocks of any Canadian city. Many older homes still have clay sewer pipes that crack, shift, and allow tree root intrusion over time. Cast iron stacks from the 1950s and 1960s are common across North York, Etobicoke, and the older parts of Scarborough. Newer builds use ABS and PVC, which behave entirely differently under pressure and temperature changes.
Knowing what your home is made of matters because the right drain service depends on it. We assess the situation first, identify the pipe material and type of failure, and recommend the correct approach before quoting anything.
Drain and Sewer Services Rooter Brothers Provides in Toronto
Drain Cleaning
We clear kitchen, bathroom, floor, and laundry drains using professional snaking and hydro jetting. We remove the blockage, flush the line, and confirm flow before leaving.
Clogged Drain
We locate the clog, clear it using the method appropriate for the pipe type, and inspect the line to confirm nothing was pushed further down. No chemicals.
Camera Sewer Inspection
We inspect the line, locate defects, identify root intrusion, offsets, cracks, breaks, heavy scale, grease buildup, and failing pipe transitions. You get answers based on what the camera actually shows.
Sewer Line Repair
We inspect with a camera first to identify the exact location and extent of the damage, then repair using the method that fits — spot repair, section replacement, or full line replacement.
Sewer Backup
Sewage coming up from a floor drain or basement fixture means the main line is fully blocked. We respond day and night across Toronto and the GTA, clear the main line, and confirm flow before we leave.
Hydro Jetting
We use high-pressure water to strip buildup from the pipe wall and flush the line completely. The right method for recurring clogs, main sewer line cleaning, and commercial kitchen drains.
Water Main Repair and Replacement
We locate water main failures, assess whether repair or full replacement is needed, and complete the work with minimal disruption to your property and landscaping.
Fast Response. Upfront Pricing. Guaranteed Work.
Fast Response
We dispatch licensed technicians same day across Toronto and the GTA. A real person answers every call — no voicemail, no waiting until Monday. After-hours calls are available with a service charge we communicate clearly before dispatching.
Upfront Pricing
You get a clear price before we start. That number does not change when the invoice arrives. No hidden fees, no add-ons after the fact, no pressure to approve additional work on the spot.
Guaranteed Work
We do not leave until the job is done right. On drain cleaning jobs we run a full flow test before leaving. On camera inspections we show you the footage and explain what we found. On sewer repairs we confirm the line is clear and sealed.
Signs Your Drain or Sewer System Needs Attention
Most drain and sewer problems build slowly before they become emergencies. Watch for these signs:
- Water drains slowly from multiple fixtures at the same time — when more than one drain is affected simultaneously, the blockage is in the main sewer line, not a single branch.
- Gurgling sounds from drains or the toilet when water runs elsewhere — air forced back through a partial blockage downstream.
- Sewage or rotten egg odour from floor drains or basement fixtures — organic buildup or a dry trap allowing sewer gas into the living space.
- Water backing up into the basement floor drain during heavy rain — a blocked or overwhelmed main sewer line.
- Dark water or sewage coming up from any drain — a main line emergency. Shut off water use immediately and call 647-449-5665.
- Wet patches or soft ground in your yard along the sewer line path — a cracked or separated pipe leaking underground.
- Unexplained drop in water pressure combined with wet ground near the foundation — a water main failure requiring immediate assessment.
If you are seeing any combination of these signs, call us at 647-449-5665 or visit our contact page to request a free estimate.
Residential and Commercial Drain and Sewer Services in Toronto
Residential
We work in Toronto homes of every age and type. We know the clay pipes under a 1920s house in The Annex, the cast iron stacks in a 1960s bungalow in Scarborough, and the ABS drain systems in newer GTA homes. Our residential drain and sewer services cover the complete system from the individual sink drains inside the home to the main sewer connection at the city line.
Commercial
Restaurants generate grease buildup that hardens over time. Retail spaces and offices see higher daily volume that accelerates wear on drain components. Property managers need a provider who responds fast and works without disrupting tenants. Rooter Brothers provides commercial drain and sewer services for restaurants, offices, retail spaces, and multi-unit buildings across Toronto and the GTA.

Frequently Asked Questions
01. What is the difference between a drain problem and a sewer problem?
A drain problem affects a single fixture — the blockage is in the branch line serving that fixture. A sewer problem affects multiple fixtures at the same time because the blockage is in the main sewer line. If one drain is slow, it is likely a drain problem. If multiple drains are backing up at the same time, it is a sewer problem. We diagnose the difference on every call and recommend the right service for what we actually find.
02.How do I know if I need drain cleaning or a sewer repair?
03. How long does a drain and sewer service call take?
A residential drain cleaning takes between 30 minutes and 2 hours depending on the drain type and blockage severity. A camera inspection takes 45 to 90 minutes. We carry the parts and equipment needed to complete most drain and sewer jobs in a single visit.
04. Do you work in older Toronto homes with clay or cast iron pipes?
05. What does drain and sewer service cost in Toronto?
