Our Sewer and Drain Services
Sewer and Drain Specialists Serving Edmonton
Instarooter is a locally owned sewer and drain company serving Edmonton and the surrounding communities. Underground sewer work is our specialty — it’s what we’ve built our equipment and training around, and it’s all we do.
Edmonton homes present a specific set of problems. Older neighbourhoods like Highlands, Westmount, Ritchie, and Parkallen still run on clay and cast iron sewer lines that crack, shift, and invite tree roots. Freeze-thaw cycles work those joints loose year after year. And when heavy summer rain or spring melt overloads the city system, homes without a backwater valve are the first to flood.
Every service below is built around those realities. We diagnose with a camera before we quote, we explain what we find in plain language, and we recommend the least invasive fix that actually solves the problem — not the most expensive one.

Not Sure Which Service You Need?
Most people don’t call us knowing whether they need a drain cleaning, a root removal, or a full sewer line repair — they just know something’s wrong. That’s normal, and it’s why we start with diagnosis.
If your drains are slow throughout the house — not just one sink — the problem is likely in the main line, not the fixture.
If water is coming in through a basement window, the window well drain is almost certainly blocked. And if water is seeping up from the floor rather than in from a window, that’s a job for a sump pump.
If clogs keep coming back after you’ve cleared them, something structural is going on: roots, a crack, or a collapsed section. A camera inspection will show exactly what.
If sewage is backing up into your basement, that’s an emergency. Stop using water in the house and call us — and read our guide on what to do during a sewer backup while you wait.
If you’re buying or selling a home, a sewer scope before closing is one of the cheapest forms of insurance available — especially on any property built before the 1980s.
If you’ve flooded before, or your neighbours have, a backwater valve is the fix, and EPCOR may cover up to $800 of the cost.
