If left unchecked, a damaged or aging sewer main can cause serious issues. Recognizing the early warning signs can save you from costly emergency repairs and extensive property damage. If you notice any of the following problems, it may be time to have your sewer line professionally inspected.
If these issues sound familiar, Bee’s Knees Plumbing, Heating & Electrical can perform a thorough camera inspection and determine whether repair or full replacement is necessary.
Your sewer main line is the backbone of your home’s drainage system. It carries wastewater from all your sinks, toilets, tubs, and drains out to the municipal sewer system or septic tank. When it functions properly, you never notice it—but when it fails, the consequences can be costly and unpleasant.
Over time, sewer lines can deteriorate due to age, tree root intrusion, shifting soil, or corrosion. Many older homes in Kelowna, Vernon, and the Okanagan still rely on outdated clay or cast iron pipes, which are more prone to cracking, blockage, and collapse.
Understanding what kind of sewer line you have—and whether it’s nearing the end of its life—is the first step toward preventing backups and water damage. At Bee’s Knees, we use camera inspections to assess your sewer line and recommend the best action.

Got questions about sewer line replacement or upgrades? You’re not alone. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we hear from homeowners and business owners across Kelowna, Vernon, and the Okanagan.
Depending on the material, sewer mains typically last 50–100 years. Clay and cast iron pipes tend to degrade sooner, while modern PVC piping offers longer lifespans.
Not always. If the damage is localized, we may be able to repair or replace just the affected section. We’ll recommend the most cost-effective and long-lasting solution based on a camera inspection.
Trenchless repair methods like pipe bursting or lining allow us to replace or reinforce pipes without digging up your entire yard. It’s less invasive and quicker than traditional excavation.
Most residential sewer line replacements take 1–3 days, depending on the complexity of the job and access to the pipe.
We do everything possible to minimize disruption. If excavation is necessary, we protect your landscaping and restore the area once the work is complete.
Home insurance typically doesn’t cover replacement due to wear and tear, but it may cover damage from a sudden failure. If needed, we can provide documentation to assist with your claim.
