At Atre Drain and Plumbing, we use advanced drain camera inspections to accurately diagnose problems hidden deep inside your sewer line — especially tree root intrusion, one of the most common issues found in older clay pipes across Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington, and surrounding areas.
Recently, we completed a project where a homeowner was experiencing repeated backups and slow drains. Our camera inspection revealed heavy root growth inside the main clay sewer line — a clear sign that the pipe had deteriorated and roots had penetrated through old joints and cracks
What We Found
– Extensive tree root blockage
– Pipe wall deterioration
– Restricted flow causing recurring backups
– High risk of full line collapse if left untreated
Our Solution: Trenchless Main Drain Replacement
To avoid digging up the customer’s front yard and landscaping, we completed a full main drain replacement using trenchless technology. This modern method allowed us to repair the entire line with minimal disruption.
Benefits of Trenchless Replacement
– No major excavation or property damage
– Faster than traditional digging
– Long-lasting, durable pipe material
– Prevents future root intrusion
– Restores full flow and reliability
The result? A brand-new sewer line with zero root intrusion, improved drainage, and a happy customer.
If you’re dealing with repeated drain clogs, backups, or slow drains, a camera inspection is the fastest and most reliable way to find the cause.
