Clogs happen. But some symptoms point to something deeper than a surface blockage. Here’s what to watch for:
- Recurring clogs that come back quickly after clearing often mean root intrusion or structural pipe damage, not a simple buildup.
- Slow drains at multiple fixtures at the same time typically indicate a problem in the main sewer line, not individual trap buildup.
- Sewage backing up through floor drains or toilets means wastewater has nowhere to go and needs immediate attention.
- Gurgling sounds from toilets or floor drains when you run another fixture suggest restricted airflow from a blockage or damaged pipe.
- Persistent sewer odours that don’t clear up after cleaning can mean a cracked pipe is letting sewer gas escape into your home.
- Wet patches in the yard or unexplained damp spots near drain lines in the basement may signal a leaking buried sewer lateral.
- Visible corrosion or damage on drain pipe in the basement, crawl space, or utility area is a direct sign repair is needed.
Drain Repair Services for Edmonton Homes & Businesses
We handle residential and commercial drain repair across Edmonton and surrounding communities, including Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Leduc, Spruce Grove, and Fort Saskatchewan. Every repair starts with a video camera inspection to pinpoint exactly what’s wrong before we recommend a fix.
Camera inspection identifies cracks, root intrusion, collapsed sections, joint separations, and pipe material so there’s no guesswork. From there, the repair method depends on what the camera finds:
- Pipe lining (CIPP) is a trenchless option suited to pipes with cracks, root intrusion, or joint gaps that are still structurally intact along their length. A resin-impregnated liner is cured inside the existing pipe, forming a new interior surface without digging up your yard.
- Pipe bursting replaces a deteriorated line by pulling a new pipe through the old one, fracturing the old pipe outward as it advances.
- Open excavation is used when a pipe has fully collapsed, damage spans a long stretch, or trenchless access isn’t available.
- Interior drain repair covers cast-iron stacks, branch lines, floor drains, and basement drain systems inside the home.
Common causes of drain pipe failure in Edmonton include root intrusion, freeze-thaw soil movement, age-related corrosion in cast-iron or clay-tile pipe, and long-term joint deterioration. Whatever the cause, we diagnose it first and repair it.

Drain Repair vs. Drain Cleaning: Which One Do You Need?
The two services solve different problems. Drain cleaning removes blockages, things like hair, grease, soap scum, or debris, from pipes that are structurally intact. The pipe isn’t damaged; the passage is obstructed. Drain repair addresses damage to the pipe itself: cracks, root intrusion that has breached the pipe wall, collapsed sections, separated joints, or corroded pipe that can no longer hold water.
The clearest signal is what happens after a professional cleaning. A clog that clears and stays clear points to a cleaning need. A clog that returns quickly, drains backing up at multiple fixtures, yard saturation, or a persistent sewer odour points toward a repair need. Camera inspection is the definitive way to tell the difference. It removes guesswork and confirms the right course of action before you spend money on the wrong service.
In some cases, the line needs to be cleared before a camera can pass through to assess structural condition. Cleaning and inspection can happen in the same visit, so you’re not making two separate calls.
Edmonton homeowners have trusted Always Plumbing & Heating with their plumbing since 1998. With over 4,000 Google reviews, a 4.8/5 Facebook rating, an A+ BBB rating, and community-voted awards, the record reflects long-standing service in the area.
