Drain Cleaning in Downtown and The Ward

Drain and sewer work for downtown Guelph, St. George's Square and St. Patrick's Ward.

This is the oldest built-up ground in the city and it behaves accordingly. The houses east of the Speed in The Ward and the blocks running off Macdonell and Wyndham are largely on clay tile or cast-iron laterals, laid in short sections with a joint at every coupling, and a century of ground movement has opened a few of those joints on most streets. Add the mature trees standing directly over the line and root intrusion becomes the default explanation for any main-line backup here. Cast iron in the same neighbourhoods fails the other way, scaling and then rotting along the invert until rags and paper catch on the roughness. Interior branch lines are often cast iron too, occasionally with a drum trap under an old tub, and both need a gentler hand than a modern line. Access is the other complication: a lot of these houses have no proper cleanout, so the way in is the stack or a pulled toilet. We scope every main line here after clearing it, because on a downtown clay lateral the useful question is never whether it is open now, it is how long before it closes again.
