Drain Backup & Toilet Leak Repair

The Problem (before)

The homeowner reached out after noticing water coming up from under the toilet and ongoing drain issues that kept getting worse. At first it seemed like a simple blockage, but the problem kept returning, which was a clear sign something deeper was going on below the slab.

Inspection & Findings

We started with a camera inspection of the drain line and quickly found the root cause:

  • The toilet flange was broken, allowing water to escape under the floor
  • There was root penetration in the drain line, restricting flow and causing repeated backups

This combination was forcing water to surface at the weakest point — right under the toilet.

OUR SOLUTION

To properly fix the issue (not just patch it), we:

  • Excavated the basement floor around the affected drain
  • Removed the damaged section of pipe and broken toilet flange
  • Installed new drain piping with proper slope and connections
  • Cleared out root intrusion to restore full flow
  • Tested everything before closing to ensure the drain was moving water freely with no leaks

Final Result (after)

  • Refilled the excavation with gravel
  • Re-cemented the basement floor
  • Left the area clean and ready for the toilet to be reinstalled
  • Drain now flows properly with no leaks
  • Homeowner no longer has to worry about backups or hidden water damage

Key Takeaway

In many Toronto homes, recurring drain issues aren't just clogs — they're often caused by aging plumbing, broken fittings, or root intrusion below the concrete. A camera inspection makes all the difference in fixing the problem the right way the first time.
