Pipe Repair & Excavation Services in Red Deer

If you have a sewer backup, even once, it is likely that the clog that is causing the backup is coming from a major problem in your main sewer line. Call The Gentlemen Pros for a sewer line inspection and to have your sewer line problems professionally solved.

“We called and were addressed immediately (rather than waiting for a call back). They arrived quickly and were polite and professional. Not only did they do the job but went above and beyond to make sure all avenues were addressed before leaving. I would give a higher review if it were a possibility.” Tayra H

The Gentlemen Plumbers can maintain and fix your bathroom or kitchen plumbing.

Excavation & Pipe Repair

If you have regular backups, book a sewer line camera inspection ASAP to learn the cause of the clog. We can clear your sewer line to allow it to flow and waste to move freely. Often clearing a clog is just a temporary solution, so to prevent recurring backups, the sewer line needs to be repaired. These problems can evolve into major excavation projects that ought to be done by professionals you can trust.

Early Signs of Main Line Pipe Failure

In most situations, homeowners have no idea there is a problem with their main sewer line until there is a sewer line backup in their home. 

In Red Deer homes and most Albertan homes, the sewer line that connects the drains to the city sewer line is buried deep beneath the ground. Consequently, a sewer up will return sewage to the basement or the lowest part of the drain. 

Signs you have a major issue with your main sewer line are the results of a sewer line backup, including:

  • Overflowing sewage in your basement floor drain
  • Overflowing sewage in your basement tubs, toilets and shower drains
  • Overflowing sewage from your basement drain cleanout
  • Rancid smells from the basement washrooms
  • Drops in water pressure

Why do I need a Sewer Line Pipe Repair?

Most often, clogs and backups are the result of one of the following problems:

  • Cracks or Leaks in the pipe or joints, leading to roots growing in the pipes
  • Decaying or collapsing pipes, which cause clogs, or allow roots to grow
  • Pipe Belly creates clogs in the sewer line
  • Sewerline Misalignment creates clogs in the sewer line

Cracks and Roots

Weak spots, in older pipe materials especially, create grounds for sewage to get caught at joints or rough edges, leading to massive problems, creating complete stoppages. 

Cracks and leaks are also an invitation for roots to grow inside the sewer. As the root ball grows, it will catch waste and, over time, form a clog.

Underground Pipe Belly

A pipe belly forms because over time sewer pipes begin to sag, which will begin to collect waste and form a clog filling with heavy content that weighs the pipes down, growing into even worse problems. If the pipeline inspection reveals you have a pipe belly, it typically must be addressed with excavation before even more serious issues develop, backing into your house. 

Sewer Line Misalignment

Your pipeline can also develop problems due to shifts in the ground or by erroneous installation of pipe slopes or joints. These slight misalignments can cause vast problems in your home because those edge points catch on sewage. 

They can also create gaps in your pipeline that can be leaking points for drenching in your yard or for roots of trees to grow into. The sooner your pipes can be analyzed, excavated, and fixed, the less digging up will be required.

Common Underground Pipes & Their Weak Spots

  • Clay – cracks easily because of their brittle material 
  • Cast Iron – rusts from the inside out, catching debris and forming holes
  • Galvanized Steel – rusted pipes easily break 
  • Polybutylene (Poly-B) – pinhole leaks create perfect holes for tree roots to crack pipes
  • PVC – if laid wrong, can shift in the ground or have unbalanced pressure points
