Sewer Line Inspection Toronto, Ontario

8 sewer line defects are identifiable through HD camera inspection.

• Root intrusion: Tree roots penetrate clay pipe joints and grow into dense masses that reduce flow by 30% to 90%
• Pipe collapse: Sections of clay or cast iron pipe fracture under soil pressure and create full blockages
• Bellied pipe: Ground settling causes low sections where sewage pools, collects debris, and backs up
• Joint separation: Clay pipe joints shift apart over decades, allowing infiltration and root entry
• Grease accumulation: Hardened grease deposits narrow the pipe diameter to 50% or less
• Offset joints: Misaligned pipe sections create ledges that catch solids and paper
• Corrosion: Cast iron pipes in Toronto homes built 1920 to 1960 develop internal scale and tuberculation
• Orangeburg deterioration: Tar-paper pipes from the 1940s and 1950s deform and collapse under soil weight

Toronto homes built before 1970 have clay sewer laterals with an expected lifespan of 50 to 60 years. These pipes are now 55 to 100+ years old. A standard home inspection does not include sewer line assessment.

The City of Toronto holds homeowners responsible for the sewer lateral from the property line to the house. Replacement of a collapsed lateral averages $12,000 to $20,000 CAD in Toronto, including excavation and landscaping restoration.
