Why Sturgeon Falls Homes Have Drain Problems
Sturgeon Falls' older housing stock and municipal infrastructure create specific drain challenges that we handle daily.
Older Homes, Older Pipes
Most Sturgeon Falls homes were built in the 1950s–70s with galvanized and cast iron drain pipes that corrode from the inside out. After 50+ years, these pipes develop rough interior surfaces that catch debris, grease, and hair — leading to recurring clogs that get worse over time.
Municipal Sewer Connections
Sturgeon Falls runs on a municipal sewer system, but many service connections from homes to the main are original clay or concrete pipe. These old connections develop cracks and joint separation that allow root infiltration and ground movement damage.
Sturgeon River Area Drainage
Properties near the Sturgeon River face higher water tables that affect drain performance, especially during spring melt and heavy rain. Storm water can infiltrate aging sewer connections, overloading the system and causing backups through floor drains.
Hard Water Mineral Buildup
Like much of the Nipissing District, Sturgeon Falls' water supply contains minerals that deposit inside drain pipes over decades. This slow buildup narrows pipe diameter and creates rough surfaces where blockages form. Hydro jetting clears this buildup effectively.
