Our Plumbing and Drain Services
Drain repair and replacement
A cracked clay pipe, tree roots, or a sagging section where waste pools needs a repair or a replacement. The camera video shows which one you need.
Water lines
Low pressure upstairs, brown water, or a soft patch in the lawn point to the pipe that brings water into your property. We upgrade undersized ½-inch services to ¾-inch or 1-inch, and we replace old, leaking, and lead lines.
Emergency plumbing and leaks
Burst pipes, sewage in a finished basement, and untraceable leaks go to the front of the queue. Call the same day if sewage is coming up or a pipe is spraying.
Sump pumps and backwater valves
A sump pump moves groundwater out of your basement, and a backwater valve stops sewage from backing up through the drain. Many basements need both.
Toilets, sinks, and faucets
New toilets, sinks, and faucets, installed and hooked up.
What fails in Mississauga homes
1950s to 1970s bungalows in Lakeview, Applewood, and Cooksville often sit on clay sewer pipe. Clay joints open. Roots follow the moisture. One wet spring and the basement floor drain starts to gurgle.
Homes built in the 1980s and 1990s in Churchill Meadows, Lisgar, and Central Erin Mills were often built with ½-inch water services. Add a second bathroom and the shower loses pressure when someone flushes. Old galvanized pipe also rusts from the inside, which lowers pressure at every fixture.
Low-lying streets near the Credit River and in Dixie see more sewage backups into basements after heavy rain. A backwater valve and a working sump are not luxuries there. They keep sewage off the carpet.
- Recurring kitchen or main-line clogs after a quick snake
- Sewage smell at the basement floor drain
- Low pressure upstairs when more than one tap runs
- A soft, wet strip in the lawn over the drain path
- Brown water or a sudden jump in your water bill with no new fixtures
- Floor drain backup during a downpour
Drain cleaning in Mississauga
Drain cleaning in Mississauga covers everything from a slow kitchen sink to a main line that backs up into the basement. We clear blockages with snaking, line cleaning, and hydro jetting, and we run a camera first whenever the history looks messy, such as repeat backups, a sewage smell, or a snake that already failed once.
Streets around Lakeview, Applewood, and Cooksville still run on older clay sewer pipe, and tree roots work into the joints and catch grease, wipes, and hair that would otherwise pass through. A quick snake can clear the symptom for a few weeks before the same drain backs up again.
We check access before quoting a price. A cleanout is faster and cheaper than pulling a toilet, and you hear the difference before we start. If the camera shows a cracked or shifted pipe, another cleaning will not hold. You get the finding on screen, not a guess.
Drain cleaning and sewer work
A local clog and a main-line failure feel the same from the kitchen. They are not the same job. If only the sink is slow, we start at the trap. If two fixtures gurgle together, we go to the main.
The pricing table below lists drain cleaning prices by fixture. If the cable will not hold, we camera the line before anyone talks replacement.
Roots, offsets, and a belly in the pipe need repair or replacement, not a third cleaning. See drain repair and drain replacement when the video shows a broken run. Hydro jetting is for grease and scale that a cable only punches through.
Water lines and emergency calls
A leaking or undersized service is a different problem from a clogged drain. Residential water line upgrades in the GTA typically run $2,000 to $10,000+, depending on length, depth, and restoration. The pricing table below breaks water line costs down by pipe size and length. We quote the private-side scope. The city bills for its portion.
After-hours leaks, burst pipes, and sewage in a finished basement go to the front of the queue. Shut the main if you can find it. If the valve is seized, say so when you call. Hourly work applies once we are on a repair, not as an open clock on a scoped project, and the rate is in the pricing table below.
Emergency plumbing and drain backups in Mississauga
Sewage coming up a basement floor drain is an emergency, not something to schedule for next week. Low-lying streets near the Credit River and in Dixie see more sewage backups into basements after heavy rain, and a blocked main drain can flood a basement in minutes.
As your emergency plumber in Mississauga, City Rooter is open Monday to Saturday 24/7 and Sunday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Emergency service is 24/7. Dispatch starts at $200. Stop running water, keep people and pets away from the floor drain, and call (647) 534-6875. We clear the backup first, then camera the line if it keeps coming back.
How a Plumbing Visit Works
Our visit has five steps, and we agree on the price in writing before any work starts.
- 1
Call (647) 534-6875 or send the form. Tell us what is backing up or leaking, if you have a cleanout, and if the water is still on.
- 2
We give you an arrival window.
- 3
On site, we confirm the problem, cover your floors, and start at the access point that shows us the most, such as a cleanout.
- 4
We explain what we found, go over your options, and give you a written price to approve before we cut, dig, or replace anything.
- 5
We complete the work, test the repair, and leave the work area swept. If the job needs a permit or a city inspection, we tell you before the trench is open.

City Rooter installed a new waterline from the edge of the property into my basement. Alex worked with me to get the best solution possible, gave a very good price, and left everything neat and tidy.

They saved us from a major plumbing disaster. Tree roots clogged the drain. The team snaked the line, excavated, replaced the damaged pipe, and installed a cleanout. Professional, efficient, and fair.

When to call
Call the same day if sewage is coming up, a pipe is spraying, or you have no water. Call this week if the same drain clogs twice, the shower loses pressure when the washer runs, or the lawn is soft over the sewer path.
A known clay failure rarely improves on its own, and a camera inspection shows what repair you actually need. For a licensed Mississauga plumber with published prices, call (647) 534-6875.
