What a sewer lateral is
The sewer lateral is the pipe that carries everything from your house to the city sewer. Older clay and cast iron pipes crack, sag, and let roots in. When cleaning doesn't fix it anymore, the pipe needs replacing.
Camera inspection first
Before we dig, we run a camera through your line. You see what we see: where the pipe is broken, how deep it is, and how much needs replacing. No guessing and no extra digging.
Utility locates handled
We take care of locates before any digging. We book the public locates through Ontario One Call and arrange private locates for lines on your property, like gas lines to a garage or buried power.
How we dig and replace
- Locate and mark: Camera and locator mark the pipe route and the problem spots.
- Dig: We excavate down to the pipe, only as much as the job needs.
- Replace: Old pipe out, new pipe in, bedded and sloped properly.
- Camera and test: We camera the new line and run water to check the flow.
- Backfill: We backfill, compact, and grade the area.

Questions
How do I know my sewer lateral needs replacing?
Repeat backups, slow drains on the lowest floor, roots coming back after cleaning, or a sewage smell are common signs. A camera inspection tells us for sure.
Why do you camera the line first?
So we only dig where we need to. The camera shows us the pipe material, any breaks, sags or root problems, and exactly where and how deep the problem is.
Who calls in the utility locates?
We do. We book the free public locates through Ontario One Call and arrange private locates for lines on your property before we dig.
Will my yard be torn up?
We dig only what the job needs, keep the soil on tarps where we can, and backfill and grade when we're done.
Do I need a permit?
Often, yes. We'll go over permits and any city requirements with you when we look at the job.
Can you fix just part of the line?
Sometimes. If the camera shows one bad section, a spot repair may be enough. We'll tell you straight.
