Apply to have a sewer connection repaired
Is your sewer pipe blocked? Do you think it might be broken? If it is located beneath the street, we can help you. Learn how you can apply to have the borough repair a sewer connection.
The sewer connection is the conduit or duct that connects a building to the public sewer line. The duct is used to discharge wastewater and rainwater from the building into the municipal sewer system. There are three types of sewer connection:
- Sanitary: Wastewater from household use
- Pluvial: Rainwater
- Combined sewer: Both wastewater and rainwater
Building owners and the city share an obligation to ensure that sewer connections are in good working condition. In certain cases, a building owner can file an application to have the city correct structural problems with sewer connections beneath public property.
Shared responsibilities
- Building owners are responsible for maintaining all the sewer connections in their building, including beyond their property limits, or up to the point of connection with the municipal sewer beneath the street.
- In the event of a structural problem with the sewer, the city will carry out repairs only on the publicly-owned portion. In general, these repairs are carried out between the months of May and November. Only cases involving a sewer back-up inside a home are dealt with during the winter.
Eligibility criteria
- The work concerns a problem on public property.
- The sewer connection is:
- not greater than 225 mm in diameter for a pluvial sewer or combined sewe
- not greater than 150 mm in diameter for a sanitary sewer
- The defect concerns the structure: breakage, punctures, staggered joints, etc
- The problem was not caused by work or the disposal of products, such as oil, grease or acid, or rags.
A plumbing expert, by performing an inspection, will be able to identify the problem and tell you what the diameter of the sewer connection is.

Video inspection of the sewer
The video can be saved to a CD or a USB flash drive. The recording must provide a full view of the sewer, up to the public portion, and the chainage. The chainage (measured in feet) that shows the progression of the camera must be clearly visible. In addition, it must show that the problem was not caused by misuse. Please have the drain cleaned and remove the roots or other elements that are present, if applicable.
The video recording is kept by the city. Please keep a copy.
Inspection report
The report must include the following elements:
- company’s RBQ licence number
- inspection date
- observations recorded in the video
- sketch showing the position of the drain, with approximate measurements
- characteristics of the drain: dimensions and materials for the private portion and the municipal portion
- signature of the company representative
Please make sure that the street marking clearly shows the location where digging is required. Costs will be charged to the owner in the event that the marking is inaccurate.
