Sewer Line Repair in Duncan, BC

Camera-first sewer line repair for Duncan homes on the municipal system. The permit follows the address: City of Duncan, North Cowichan, or the regional district.

What the camera is deciding

A slow drain is not automatically a new lateral. On in-town Duncan houses, especially the stock built before 1961, the private lateral may be short clay or concrete with roots at one joint, or it may be crushed under a driveway. The camera is the difference. Spot repair is the honest recommendation when one joint has failed and the rest of the pipe is round and clear. Full replacement is the recommendation when the failures repeat along the run.

Where we replace, we use open-trench HDPE so the new lateral is one continuous pipe from the house to the municipal connection. We do not line these pipes. Sewage from City of Duncan and connected North Cowichan connections goes to the Joint Utilities Board lagoons, and the work stops at your side of that connection.

Permits and the day on site

The City of Duncan, the Municipality of North Cowichan, and the Cowichan Valley Regional District each permit work inside their own boundary. Excavation that crosses a sidewalk or boulevard also needs that jurisdiction's right-of-way approval. We pull the permit, book their inspection, and leave you the signed paper.

Tell us about trees over the lateral, a finished patio, or a shared driveway when you request an appointment. Those details change the dig, not the diagnosis. If the line only needs cleaning, we will say so and point you to drain cleaning or hydro jetting instead.
