What to know about Sewer line replacement

Sewer line replacement means taking the old building sewer out of service, the buried lateral that carries all of a home's wastewater to the street, and putting a new continuous pipe in its place. It is the step that comes after repairs stop working: when a camera run shows roots at joint after joint, a pipe that has flattened or collapsed, or a long low section that keeps collecting waste, fixing one spot only moves the next blockage further along the line.

How to choose plumbers in St. Catharines

  • Hire a plumber who is licensed for this work in your province, especially for gas water heaters, sewer lines and new plumbing.
  • Ask whether they charge a flat rate or by the hour, and what the call-out fee covers.
  • For leaks and drain problems, choose someone who explains the cause and doesn't only clear the symptom.
  • Get the scope in writing for larger jobs such as a water heater, sewer repair or re-piping.
  • If it's urgent, ask how soon they can arrive and whether after-hours rates apply.
