Full-Service Drain Experts – Snaking, Repairs, Replacements & Trenchless Upgrades
A clogged, damaged, or collapsed drain pipe can disrupt your entire home’s plumbing system. These issues often result from aging infrastructure, material fatigue, tree root intrusion, pipe misalignment, shifting soil, corrosion, or accidental damage during renovations.
At Mister Plumber, we offer comprehensive drain and sewer services in Toronto, unlike companies that only specialize in drain cleaning. Our team of licensed and experienced plumbers provides a full range of services including drain snaking, pipe repair, trenchless sewer replacement, system upgrades, drain relocation, and new installations.
Below are some of the most common and in-demand drain and sewer services we provide in homes and condominiums across Toronto and the GTA.
1. Clay Sewer Pipe Replacement Using Trenchless Technology
Many older Toronto homes still rely on outdated clay sewer pipes, which are prone to cracks, shifting, and root infiltration. Mister Plumber uses advanced trenchless sewer replacement methods, including:
- Pipe Bursting – A powerful steel head breaks apart the old clay pipe while pulling in a new durable PVC pipe behind it.
- CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe) Lining – A resin-soaked liner is inserted into the old pipe and cured in place, forming a smooth, seamless inner pipe.
Both methods avoid full excavation, preserving your landscaping and reducing costs and disruption. We always recommend a video camera inspection first to determine the best solution for your specific sewer line condition.
2. Professional Drain Snaking in Toronto
Different parts of your home can develop clogs due to specific types of buildup:
- Kitchen sinks – grease and food particles
- Laundry tubs – lint and debris
- Bathtubs and showers – hair and soap residue
- Toilets – excessive toilet paper or foreign objects
Our plumbers use commercial-grade drain snakes with rotating cables suited for each pipe diameter and clog type. To perform snaking, we require access to a cleanout (a removable cover on your drainage system). If no cleanout is available, we may temporarily remove a toilet or cut drywall to gain access safely.
3. Leaking Brass Pipe Replacement Under Condo Kitchen Sinks
In Toronto condo units, brass kitchen sink drain assemblies often corrode due to frequent exposure to detergent and food waste. These setups usually include a dual-compartment P-trap, which holds water to prevent sewer gases from entering your living space.
We replace corroded brass pipes with:
- New brass components, or
- Specialized plastic pipes (fire-rated and approved for multi-unit residential buildings)
We always ensure code compliance and durability in high-rise plumbing systems.
4. Cracked ABS Drain Pipe Repairs
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is common in modern residential plumbing, but over time, pipe stress or accidental punctures (e.g., from drywall screws) can cause cracks or slow leaks.
Luckily, ABS pipes are easy to repair:
- We cut out the damaged section, then use solvent welding to join new fittings.
- In many cases, we need to cut drywall to access concealed pipes—especially in ceilings or behind walls.
Our team also offers drywall patching referrals for a complete restoration after the plumbing repair.
5. Cast Iron Stack Replacement in Older Toronto Homes
Many century homes in Toronto still have their original cast iron drain stacks, which run vertically from the basement to the roof. Over time, they can develop:
- Hairline cracks, leading to leaks
- Corrosion buildup, restricting flow and causing clogs or slow drains
For single-family homes, replacing cast iron with modern ABS piping is the most practical and long-lasting solution.
Our licensed plumbers use snap cutters to break down cast iron into manageable sections, minimizing dust. Since cast iron is heavy, this job always requires a team of two professionals. After installation, we dispose of old piping safely and ensure your new system is leak-free and code-compliant.
