Sewer Backup Repair in Leduc

Water coming up your floor drain is a stop-everything moment. If it’s happening in your Leduc home, here’s what to do in the next ten minutes, and how we find and fix the cause.

Right now

1. Stop using water. No flushing, showers, dishwasher or laundry.
2. Don’t pour chemicals down any drain.
3. Ask your neighbours if they’re having the same problem. If they are, the issue may be the main, not your line.
4. Call. If it’s just your house, call us. If it’s the street, call your municipality first.

Your line or the main?

Which part of the sewer line is yours, and whether there’s a backwater valve rebate, depends on the municipality. We didn’t find published rules or a rebate for Leduc, so check with the City of Leduc before booking work.

What we do

• Clear the line to get wastewater moving.
• Camera it to see what caused the backup: roots, a blockage, a break or a sag. Tree roots can grow into sewer service lines and cause backups.
• Recommend the fix: clearing, lining, pipe bursting or replacement.

The cleanup

Sewage in the basement needs proper cleanup and drying. Our sister company Water Damage Edmonton handles that while we deal with the line.

Prevent the next backup

A backwater valve closes when the sewer pushes back toward your house. Many insurers now require one for sewer backup coverage, according to Strathcona County, so ask your broker too.

Insurance

Repairs to service lines on your property aren’t typically covered by a basic homeowner’s insurance policy, according to EPCOR. Ask your broker whether you have sewer backup coverage for damage inside the house.
