Sewer Drain Repair Services in Calgary
A well-maintained sewer system is essential to the smooth operation of any commercial property. For businesses across Calgary, a blocked or damaged sewer line can quickly lead to costly disruptions and safety concerns.
At The Drain Doctor™, we focus exclusively on drain cleaning and sewer line services, ensuring every repair is completed with precision, safety, and long-term reliability. From government buildings and schools to restaurants, warehouses, hospitals, hotels, churches, and retail spaces, our team helps Calgary property owners restore proper drainage and prevent unexpected downtime.
What Sewer Drain Repair Involves?
A damaged or clogged sewer drain can quickly escalate into serious issues like backups, foul odours, or even property damage. Sewer drain repair focuses on diagnosing and fixing these problems at their source. This often includes cleaning the line, repairing cracks, removing obstructions, and restoring proper flow.
At The Drain Doctor™, our process combines advanced inspection technology and professional equipment designed specifically for commercial drain repair. Using high-resolution sewer camera inspection tools, our technicians can visually locate the exact cause of a blockage or structural issue before deciding on the best method of repair, whether it’s sewer snaking, hydro jetting the sewer line, or another specialized solution.
Common Causes of Sewer Drain Problems
Several factors can lead to the need for sewer drain repair in Calgary’s commercial and multi-unit buildings:
-
Grease buildup and food debris in restaurant and kitchen lines.
-
Tree roots intrusion through cracks in underground pipes.
-
Collapsed or aging pipes caused by corrosion or shifting soil.
-
Foreign objects or wipes flushed into the drain system.
-
Heavy rain or melting snow can overwhelm storm and sanitary systems.
-
Poor installation or improper slope in older drain systems.
Because these issues often develop gradually, it’s crucial to have routine inspections and maintenance performed by a professional drain cleaning company before a minor issue becomes an emergency.
Signs You May Need Sewer Drain Repair
Recognizing the early signs of sewer drain trouble can save your business time and money. Call The Drain Doctor™ if you notice:

Our technicians handle everything from minor clogs to blocked or damaged sewer lines in large commercial systems.
How The Drain Doctor™ Identifies and Fixes the Problem?
We begin every sewer drain repair service with a thorough video line inspection. This allows us to pinpoint cracks, corrosion, grease buildup, or other blockages inside the line without unnecessary digging or guesswork.
Depending on the issue, our solutions may include:
-
Sewer snaking: Mechanical removal of debris, grease, or tree roots.
-
Hydro jetting sewer lines: High-pressure water cleaning that restores flow and removes buildup.
-
Drain cleaning and main line cleaning: Clearing the system to prevent future blockages.
-
Lift station and sump cleaning: Maintaining essential drainage equipment in large buildings.
-
Parkade line cleaning: Keeping underground drainage systems free of debris and contaminants.
-
Storm and sanitary line cleaning: Ensuring proper drainage during Calgary’s heavy rain and snow seasons.
Our goal is always to restore full function as quickly as possible while minimizing disruption to your business operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How do I know if I need sewer drain repair or just cleaning?
If the issue is caused by a simple blockage, cleaning may be enough. However, if your line is cracked, collapsed, or corroded, repair or replacement might be required. Our camera inspection helps identify the right solution.
2. How often should I schedule sewer drain cleaning?
For commercial buildings, we recommend professional sewer drain cleaning at least once or twice a year, depending on the frequency of usage and the type of business.
3. Can hydro jetting damage pipes?
When performed by trained technicians, hydro jetting is an entirely safe process. It’s one of the most effective ways to clear and restore sewer lines without causing damage.
4. What’s the difference between sewer snaking and hydro jetting?
Sewer snaking uses a mechanical cable to clear obstructions, while hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to remove grease, debris, and scale buildup more thoroughly.
5. Do you service residential properties too?
Yes. While we specialize in commercial drain repair, we also assist homeowners with clogged sewer drains, video line inspections, and drain cleaning.
