Sewer Line Repair & Replacement in Vancouver & Burnaby

Vancouver Sewer Line Problems? We Can Help

Sewer line issues can cause serious damage to your property and create health hazards if left untreated. At HYDROPRO PLUMBING & WATER LTD, we provide comprehensive sewer repair and replacement services across Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, and Greater Vancouver. Our licensed technicians use advanced diagnostic equipment to quickly identify the problem and recommend the most effective, cost-efficient solution.

Signs You Need Sewer Line Repair

Watch for these warning signs that indicate a sewer line problem at your Vancouver or Burnaby property:

• Slow drains throughout the house — multiple fixtures draining slowly at the same time points to a main sewer line blockage rather than an isolated clog
• Sewage backups or gurgling sounds — water backing up in tubs or toilets when you use other fixtures signals a restricted sewer line
• Foul odours in your yard or basement — sewer gas escaping from cracked or separated pipes creates unmistakable smells
• Lush patches of grass — unusually green areas in your yard may indicate a leaking sewer line fertilizing the soil
• Foundation cracks or sinkholes — a leaking sewer line can erode soil and compromise your foundation
• Pest infestations — rats and insects are attracted to sewer line breaches

Our Sewer Camera Inspection Service

Before recommending any repairs, we perform a thorough camera inspection of your sewer line. Our high-definition sewer cameras are inserted through a cleanout access point and travel the full length of your sewer line, transmitting live video to our technicians. This allows us to identify the exact location and nature of the problem — whether it's tree root intrusion, pipe collapse, offset joints, grease buildup, or general deterioration.

Camera inspection eliminates guesswork and unnecessary excavation. You'll see the footage yourself and understand exactly what's happening inside your pipes before any work begins.

Sewer Repair Methods We Offer

Trenchless Sewer Repair (Pipe Lining)

For pipes with cracks, small holes, or joint separation, we can reline the existing pipe with a cured-in-place liner. This creates a smooth, jointless "pipe within a pipe" without excavation. The process takes one day, and the new liner has a lifespan of 50+ years. This method is ideal for homes where excavation would damage landscaping, driveways, or other structures.

Pipe Bursting (Trenchless Replacement)

When a sewer line is too damaged for lining, pipe bursting allows us to replace it without a full trench. A bursting head is pulled through the old pipe, breaking it apart while simultaneously pulling a new HDPE pipe into place. This method works for collapsed pipes, severely misaligned joints, and pipes with major root intrusion.

Traditional Sewer Line Excavation

In some cases — such as bellied pipes, complete collapses, or pipes under structures — excavation is the most effective solution. Our team minimizes disruption with precise digging, and we restore your property after completion including concrete work and asphalt restoration.

Sewer Backup Prevention

We also install backwater valves and cleanout access points to prevent future sewer backups. A backwater valve automatically closes when sewage flows backward, protecting your home from municipal sewer overflows during heavy Vancouver rainstorms. This is particularly important for homes in low-lying areas of Burnaby, Richmond, and New Westminster.
