Residential & Commercial Renovation & New Build Rough-Ins

When main underground sewer lines break, collapse, or require updating, replacing the main line is essential to prevent structural property damage. Drain Right Now provides complete new main drain installations, main drain repairs from house to municipal or house to septic connections, and exterior drainage solutions. Our services include:


  • Complete new main drain installation and full replacement
  • Septic system to city drain conversions
  • House-to-municipal and house-to-septic main drain repairs
  • Exterior catch basin installations and maintenance
  • Exterior trough drains and channel drain solutions
  • Interior and exterior flooding solutions (French drains & dry wells)
  • Window well and window well drain installation and repairs


Our excavation crew digs water supply trenches well below local frost depths. We install heavy-gauge polyethylene pipe embedded in protective sand bedding to ensure your well water reaches your indoor pressure system reliably year-round.


Septic-to-Municipal Sewer Conversions & Septic System Installs

Transitioning your property from an old septic tank setup to a municipal sewer connection increases property value and eliminates ongoing septic maintenance. For properties remaining on septic, we also handle complete new septic system installations and system refurbishing. Our conversion and septic services include:


  • Septic system to city drain conversions
  • Municipal sewer main connection and hookups
  • Decommissioning and safe filling of old septic tanks
  • Septic bed and riser pipe cleaning, flushing, and refurbishing
  • New septic system installations and tile bed setups
  • Trenching and laying new direct municipal sewer lines


Preparation for safe, code-compliant city water supply

We handle line tracing and utility clearance permits before excavating. Our goal is to install durable, high-pressure service lines that deliver clean city water into your building without pressure drops or leaks.


Underground Water Main Leak Detection & Repairs

An abnormally wet lawn, unexplained drop in household water pressure, or constantly running well pump often points to a hidden leak in your main underground supply line. Drain Right Now locates and repairs underground water line leaks cleanly. Our leak repair services include:


  • Underground main water line leak detection
  • Burst water main spot excavation and sleeve repairs
  • Split poly pipe and fitting replacement
  • Corroded main line valve replacements
  • Underground tracer wire and line locator installs
  • Pressure loss diagnostics and static testing


We locate the precise position of underground pipe fractures to minimize property excavation. Once exposed, we install permanent, heavy-duty brass or stainless steel mechanical couplings to restore full water main pressure.


Deep Frost Line Excavation & Heat Trace Lines

In northern regions across Muskoka and Simcoe County, shallow water mains laid over rocky terrain are highly vulnerable to freezing solid during severe winter spells. We install deep frost protection and internal/external heat trace systems. Our frost protection services include:


  • Deep frost line excavation through soil and rock
  • Self-regulating heat trace cable installation
  • Underground rigid foam insulation sleeve setups
  • Frozen main water line thawing services
  • Bedrock water line anchoring and conduit protection
  • Winterized shallow-burial line protection


When digging below the frost line isn't possible due to solid bedrock, we install engineered thermal insulation sleeves and heavy-duty heat trace lines. This keeps water flowing smoothly even during extreme winter temperatures.


Lead & Galvanized Pipe Conversions (Modern PEX / Poly)

Older properties frequently rely on outdated lead, copper, or galvanized iron main water lines that corrode internally, restrict flow, or leak toxic lead into drinking water. Drain Right Now converts obsolete main supply lines to modern materials. Our conversion services include:


  • Old lead water service pipe replacement
  • Corroded galvanized main line removal
  • Modern high-density polyethylene (HDPE) upgrades
  • Commercial-grade PEX supply pipe installations
  • Main shutoff valve and backflow preventer installs
  • Water flow volume and static pressure testing


Evaluation for pure water delivery and optimal pressure

We replace dangerous lead and corroded iron lines with flexible, ultra-durable HDPE or PEX piping. This eliminates water contamination hazards, increases household flow volume, and protects your home against internal corrosion leaks.

FAQs

  • How deep should an underground main water line be buried in Ontario?

    Main water supply lines in Simcoe County and Muskoka must be buried at least 4.5 to 5 feet deep—below the regional frost line—to prevent water from freezing inside the pipe during severe winter conditions.

  • How do I know if my main water line from the well or city is leaking underground?

    Signs of an underground main water line leak include soggy or unusually green patches of lawn, dirty or air-filled water at household taps, a sudden drop in water pressure, or a well pump that cycles on and off when no water is being used in the home.

  • How long does it take to replace a main water supply line?

    Most residential water main replacements take between 1 and 2 days. Our crew handles excavation, pipe laying, pressure testing, and backfilling efficiently to ensure your home’s main water service is restored with minimal disruption.
