Most sewer lines are not as bad as in the video above, but it is nice to know of any potential problems or of maintenance issues, like tree roots. Call us today for a thorough sewer inspection. Every sewer inspection is recorded and we also type and print our reports on site. NEW: Wi-Fi viewing to your smart phone when access is tight.
We also offer iphone AirDrop or texting of the YouTube video link on the spot. Before calling a service about this smelly situation, you may want to try these tips first. Make sure every trap (tubs, showers, sinks, toilets and floor drains) are filled with water. There is a trap in the weeping tile pit at the front of the house (70s and onward) and the rain leader (pre 70s).
Make sure all plumbing cleanout caps/plugs are on. If the smell is localized, like a bathroom sink, then it's usually just the trap smelling from decaying toothpaste, hair, etc. This is a simple fix and you can get it not smelling in just a few minutes. Clean the trap out. If you can't figure it out, then we can do a smoke test to determine if you have a leak in your DWV system.

Services
Jay's Sewer & Drain Service provides Regina with a variety of services in all areas of residential drainage plumbing. We specialize in sewer line camera inspections to solving drainage problems, such as sewer line cleaning, sewer repairs, sump pits and pumps. We also unclog fixtures like tubs, sinks, toilets, urinals and floor drains.
There are basically two types of backwater valves being used in Regina, the normally open and the normally closed valve. The normally closed backwater valve is no longer permitted to be installed on the main sewer lateral unless it is vented properly, which in most cases, not feasable. However, this valve can still be installed on branch lines like floor drains.
Did you know the city of Regina offers sewer line maintenance and/or a reimbursement to those who qualify? The reason behind this is because their trees send roots to their side of the sewer lateral and often your side as well. To qualify for maintenance and/or a reimbursement, your property and sewer line must meet their conditions.
If your toilet is frequently needing to be plunged and you are sure there hasn't been an object flushed, then it most likely needs to be cleaned. Mineral buildup can cause toilets to flush slowly to not at all. Sparkel is a chemical solution sold at several stores in Regina including Canadian Tire and it eats through mineral buildup with ease.
