Ottawa's Leda clay is notoriously unstable — it shifts with moisture changes and stresses buried pipe. Add freeze-thaw cycles and mature street trees in established neighbourhoods, and root intrusion plus offset joints become the norm. Local contractors start with a camera inspection so you see the problem yourself before spending a dollar.
Multiple slow drains, gurgling toilets, sewage smells, or soggy patches in the yard are classic signs. A camera inspection gives a definitive answer.
Typically $5,000–$15,000 depending on length, depth, and method. Trenchless options can reduce restoration costs significantly.
In Ottawa, the homeowner owns the entire lateral from the house to the city main, including the portion under the street — a costly surprise for many.
Trenchless jobs often finish in 1–2 days; traditional excavation takes 3–5 days plus restoration.
