Expert Sewer Line Services in Gatineau: Fast and Reliable Repairs
Your main sewer line carries all wastewater from your home to the municipal sewer system. When problems develop in this critical pipe, the consequences affect your entire plumbing system. Plombier Gatineau provides comprehensive sewer line services throughout Gatineau, from diagnosis to repair and replacement.
Signs of Sewer Line Problems
Multiple Slow Drains
When several drains throughout your home are slow simultaneously, the problem is likely in the main line rather than individual drains.
Sewage Backup
Sewage backing up through floor drains or toilets indicates a main line blockage or damage.
Gurgling Sounds
Gurgling from drains when you use other fixtures suggests air trapped by main line problems.
Foul Odors
Sewer gas smells in your home or yard can indicate sewer line damage.
Soggy Lawn
Unexplained wet or unusually green patches in your yard may indicate a leaking sewer line.
Foundation Issues
A leaking sewer line near your foundation can cause settling, cracks, or sinkholes.
Our Sewer Line Services
Camera Inspection
Video camera inspection lets us see inside your sewer line, identifying blockages, root intrusion, cracks, bellies, and other problems without excavation.
Line Cleaning
Using power snakes and hydro-jetting, we clear blockages and clean pipe walls.
Traditional Repair
For localized damage, we can excavate and repair or replace the damaged section.
Trenchless Repair
Trenchless methods repair or replace sewer lines with minimal excavation. Pipe lining inserts a new pipe inside the existing one. Pipe bursting breaks the old pipe while pulling in a new one.
Complete Replacement
For severely damaged lines, complete replacement may be necessary. We use modern materials for long-lasting results.
Common Sewer Line Problems
Tree Root Intrusion
Tree roots seek water sources and can enter sewer lines through tiny cracks, eventually growing to block the pipe completely.
Pipe Deterioration
Older clay or cast iron pipes deteriorate over time, cracking, corroding, or collapsing.
Bellied Pipe
Sections of pipe that have sunk create areas where waste accumulates, leading to recurring blockages.
Offset Joints
Ground movement can shift pipe sections, creating offsets that catch debris and restrict flow.
Pre-Purchase Sewer Inspection
If you're buying a home, a pre-purchase sewer inspection can reveal hidden problems that could cost thousands to repair.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if it's my sewer line or the city's?
Generally, you're responsible for the sewer line from your home to the property line. The city maintains the main sewer in the street. We can help identify where the problem is located.
How much does sewer line repair cost?
Costs vary significantly based on the repair needed, pipe material, location, and whether trenchless or traditional methods are used. We provide detailed estimates after camera inspection.
Is trenchless repair always possible?
Trenchless methods work in many but not all situations. Pipe condition, material, and configuration determine which methods are appropriate.
