Common Sewer & Drain Problems

When Sewer & Drain Lines Need Repair or Replacement

Some drain problems can be resolved with cleaning. Others involve damaged, deteriorated or improperly installed pipes. A sewer camera inspection can help assess the condition of accessible lines before we recommend repair or replacement.

Cracked or Broken Pipes

Damaged sewer and drain pipes can leak or allow roots and soil into the line. A targeted repair or replacement of the affected section may be needed.

Old or Deteriorated Lines

Older pipes may develop corrosion, cracks or weakened sections. We assess their condition and explain whether repair or replacement is appropriate.

Improperly Installed Drain Lines

Incorrect slope, poor connections or unsuitable pipe arrangements can cause drainage problems. We identify the issue and explain how the installation can be corrected.

Tree Root Intrusion & Blockages

Roots can enter through cracks or joints and cause repeated blockages. Clearing them may restore flow, but damaged sections may also need repair.

Sagging or Collapsed Pipes

Sagging sections can collect water and waste, while collapsed pipes can obstruct flow. Replacing or repositioning the affected section may be necessary.

Offset or Separated Joints

Shifted pipe connections can catch debris or allow leaks. Repairing the connection or replacing the affected section can address the underlying problem.

If you are looking for an exceptionally skilled, expert plumber, Demitri from Hive5plumbing is the absolute best. We were stressed out by an urgent leak under our basement laundry sink, while also needing our old kitchen and laundry faucets replaced. Demitri responded to our inquiry right away and got us onto his schedule for the emergency repairs. He did an absolutely excellent job with everything! He is very reliable, meticulously thorough and highly knowledgeable at what he does. We are incredibly happy with his work and will definitely use his plumbing services in the future. If you are looking for a skilled plumber who delivers flawless work with complete honesty, we highly recommend him!
Anna
We had a cracked drain pipe in my kitchen sink so we called Hive 5 plumbing & spoke to Demitri explained the problem and what had to be done.He was efficient, knowledgable, fixed the problem & cleaned up afterwards. I would definitely recommend him for any plumbing job.
John
Had a great experience with our plumber Demitri today. We had a pretty messy sewage ejector pit that needed a full clean-out, and he handled it incredibly well. He was extremely clean and careful throughout the entire process—something I really appreciated given the nature of the job. There was no mess left behind, and everything was handled in a very sanitary and respectful way. On top of that, he was professional, courteous, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. Highly recommend if you’re dealing with anything similar—especially jobs that require extra care and cleanliness. Will definitely hire again for future plumbing jobs.
Federico
2020-April my entire drain assembly under my kitchen dual sink basin was replaced. We talked on the phone and i shared some images. Demitri shared his recommendation and cost and made himself available the very next morning. During covid-19 pandemic period, I asked what precautions he would take and he wore his mask in my home. Demitri is pleasant and comfortable person to speak with. Replaced entire drain in just over an hour; readjusted the slope of my external drain, answered all my concerns, questions and fully explained his work. Demitri will definitely be in my contacts for future plumbing needs. Thank you again, Edward. 2024-April: ...late post. Last year I contacted Demitri again this time to replace a shower valve. Great job but even better was when there was a leak problem, he took responsibility and coordinated help to fix the problem. When a tradesperson does not hesitate to take responsibility for a problem even after leaving and receiving payment; and then make it "good", then this means a lot for me! Thank you Demitri
Edward
Dimitri has serviced our home on two occasions. We first had him install 3 new toilets which were completed with attention to detail. He's also very friendly and explains the work being done. Most recently we had Dimitri at our home to sort out faucet issues.
Andre
I had toilet installation that required rerouting the waterline in order for the new style toilet to fit. This was beyond what I could handle for DIY, and I am glad I called in the pros when I did. He gave me good advice for pausing the work I started to avoid a leak, and defer the service to avoid an after hours service call until Monday morning. First thing on Monday, he rerouted the water line and positioned it neatly for easy access and replaced the leaky shutoff valve. He also noticed the existing flange was not screwed in to the floor and fixed that for me too, which I would not have known was a problem. He installed the toilet, shimmed it level, and caulked it cleanly. He also installed the bidet for me so everything is ready for my family to use now. Price was fair and communication excellent. I found Hive 5 Plumbing as a referral on NextDoor app, so they were recommended by people in my community.
Joel
Quick and efficient service. I ended up needing a plumber when I decided to change my dishwasher due to old style connections. Dimitri gave me an appointment right away, showed up on time and did a great job. Would recommend 100%.
Kiarash
Hive 5 Plumbing did a fantastic job with my 4 bathrooms. Shutoff valves on sinks and toilets. He also noticed some hose plastic hold were cracking or in poor condition. The very last minute my wife wanted a new kitchen motion sensor faucet and he gladly installed it. Thank you Demitri for the updates, quote prior to work and other suggestions post service. Price was reasonable. 100% trust worthy and on time with great communication A+++++++
Saturn
I had Hive 5 Plumbing & Drains work on 2 bathrooms (install 4 lock-off values, 2 faucets, and 2 sink drains). During the installation, Demitri noticed that one of the drains was partially clogged and debris removed, which to me demonstrates a high quality of work. It was quick to schedule the service call, Demitri arrived on time, was very friendly, and left the work area very clean. I would highly recommend Hive 5 Plumbing & Drains for any plumbing work.
Perry
I highly recommend this plumber! He is extremely responsible, honest, and truly professional. He always responds quickly to requests, arrives on time, and completes the work efficiently and with great quality. It’s such a relief to find someone reliable and trustworthy. I am very satisfied with his work and will definitely use his services again in the future.
Nina
Easy 5 stars! I needed plumbing services, Demitri came same day within a couple hours. Very professional, knowledgeable, skilled and fairly priced! Within 20 mins the problem was solved and he left no mess behind. He even followed up after the visit and gave some recommendations. Great service, thank you!

My family have trusted them before and we’re not let down again. Clear discussion of the issue, what the solution could look like and likely causes before starting and clear understanding of costs. Then during and after the fix they show you what occurred and answer any questions etc.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about sewer line repairs, drain pipe replacement and cleanout installation in Vaughan and Woodbridge.

Does my sewer line need cleaning, repair or replacement?
arrow_forward_ios

A blockage caused by buildup may be resolved with drain cleaning. Cracked, collapsed or shifted pipes may need repair. When damage affects several sections, replacement may be more appropriate. An assessment and camera inspection, where possible, help determine the next step.

How much does sewer line repair or replacement cost?
arrow_forward_ios

Cost depends on the pipe’s location and depth, the length of the damaged section, access and any restoration required. A basement drain repair can involve different work from an outdoor sewer line replacement. We provide a quote after assessing the problem.

What is a sewer line cleanout, and can you install one?
arrow_forward_ios

A cleanout is an access point to your sewer line that allows plumbers to clear blockages and run camera inspections easily. Without one, service becomes more invasive and costly. Installing a cleanout is a one-time investment that saves money on every future call.

Can you fix a cracked sewer pipe without digging up the whole yard?
arrow_forward_ios

In many cases, yes. Depending on the location and extent of damage, we can perform targeted spot repairs instead of full excavations. We use camera inspections to locate the damage precisely and recommend the least disruptive repair approach.

How do tree roots get into sewer lines?
arrow_forward_ios

Tree roots are drawn to the moisture and nutrients in sewer lines. They penetrate through small cracks or loose joints over time, then grow inside the pipe causing blockages, slow drainage, and eventually pipe damage. Camera inspections catch root intrusion early before it causes a full collapse.
