Toronto Drain & Sewer Services

Sewer Services and Repair in Toronto and GTA

Many of the main drains in Toronto are aging, which can lead to frequent sewer backups. These issues often stem from a variety of underlying causes:

• Tree roots infiltrating and obstructing the drain pipes.
• Accumulated debris from years of usage leading to blockages.
• The possibility of the main drain collapsing, which can impede the flow and cause backups.

A tell-tale sign of a clogged sewer drain is water backing up at the lowest point in your basement, typically at the floor drain. If you notice this happening, it’s a clear indication that there is a blockage in the system that needs to be addressed promptly.

The main drain can also be collapsed which again will cause a sewer to clog.

You will know that your sewer drain is clogged as it will back up in the first available place in the basement which is usually the floor drain. However, having a toilet in the basement backing up can also be a sign.

In the event of a sewer backup, it’s important to refrain from using any plumbing in your house until an Anta technician can assess the situation. The less water that enters the drain, the less likely it will be to exacerbate the backup. But regardless of the extent of the damage, Anta Plumbing has the tools and expertise to handle the problem.

Equipped with the latest technology, Anta Plumbing can thoroughly inspect your drain and show you exactly what’s wrong, displaying the problem on a color screen. We can even provide a recorded copy of the issue on a DVD or USB stick for your records.

Often, a simple snaking might be enough to clear the blockage. Roots, if they are the cause, can be cut away, although they tend to grow back over time. To prevent future problems, we typically recommend repairing the affected drain. Our team of experts can carry out this repair with minimal disruption to your property, thanks to a trenchless technique known as pipe bursting.

When we finish the job, we’ll leave your property as we found it—minus the backup. So remember, the next time you’re dealing with a sewer clog, call Anta Plumbing for professional and reliable service.
