My first encounter with Liquid Copper Plumber was 13 years ago when they were doing all the plumbing for my neighbour’s new Legal Dwelling Unit which past inspection. I was having trouble finding a qualified plumber so I decided to try Liquid Copper Plumbing for one of my rental properties and I haven’t looked back… The plumbers are certified, experienced, reliable and extremely efficient. I have complete confidence in them.

FAQs
How do I know if I need sewer repair or just drain snaking?
If multiple drains are slow, your toilet makes gurgling sounds, or you are dealing with backups, it may indicate a main sewer line issue. A camera inspection can confirm whether the problem is a simple clog, tree roots, pipe damage, or a larger sewer repair concern.
What is drain snaking and when is it used?
Drain snaking uses a flexible cable to break through clogs in a drain or sewer line. It is often used for blockages caused by hair, grease, debris, small roots, or buildup inside the pipe. It is a cost-effective first step for many common drain issues.
When should hydro jetting be used instead of snaking?
Hydro jetting is often recommended when grease, scale, roots, or heavy debris are stuck along the pipe walls. Unlike basic snaking, hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clean the line more thoroughly and restore better drainage.
Do you use camera inspection for sewer problems?
Yes. Camera inspection helps our plumbers see inside the sewer line and identify clogs, cracks, offset joints, tree root intrusion, or damaged pipe sections. This helps us recommend the right repair method without unnecessary digging.
Can tree roots be removed without replacing the sewer line?
In many cases, tree roots can be cleared with snaking or hydro jetting. However, if roots have caused pipe damage or recurring blockages, sewer line repair or replacement may be the better long-term solution.
Do you offer emergency sewer repair and 24/7 service?
Yes. We provide emergency response for sewer backups and serious drain issues. If you have an active backup, avoid running more water and call for service as soon as possible to reduce damage to your property.
Will sewer cleaning damage older pipes?
When performed by trained professionals with the right tools and equipment, snaking and hydro jetting are safe. We choose the appropriate method based on the pipe material, condition, and severity of the blockage.
How long does sewer snaking or hydro jetting take?
Many drain snaking jobs can be completed in under an hour. Hydro jetting or full sewer cleaning may take longer depending on the length of the line, the severity of the clog, and whether a camera inspection is needed.
What causes recurring sewer backups?
Common causes include tree roots, grease buildup, foreign objects, collapsed pipes, offset joints, and aging sewer lines. A camera inspection helps identify the root cause so we can recommend an effective solution.
Do you provide commercial sewer services?
Yes. We provide sewer repair, drain services, main line cleaning, and preventive maintenance for commercial properties, businesses, and multi-unit buildings in Ottawa.
