When a standard cleaning isn’t enough, drain restoration returns your line to original capacity — completely, thoroughly, and backed by up to a 5-year guarantee.
Standard cleaning restores flow through the centre of the line. Restoration removes everything coating the pipe walls — grease, scale, root mass, and mineral deposits — returning the full interior diameter.
We run the line as many times as needed. Camera follows every blade. We don’t stop until the line is clear wall-to-wall — not just passable.
Every shift, defect, and condition found is documented. You receive a multi-page written report with video — a full record of your line’s condition before and after.
Imperial Restoration carries our strongest guarantee. Where conditions allow, your line is covered for up to five years. No other mechanical service we offer goes further.
A standard cleaning passes a blade through the line and restores flow. That’s the right call for most situations. But a line with years of compacted buildup, dense root mass, or recurring blockages needs more than a pass — it needs to be restored.
Restoration means the camera follows every blade on every pass. Roots are cut back to the pipe wall. Buildup is cleared completely. The line is documented from entry to connection. What you get back is a line performing the way it was designed to.
Imperial uses heavy-duty ¾" inner-core sewer cables — among the few companies in Winnipeg that do. Standard cables bind under rotation, making live camera verification during cutting impossible. Ours don’t. That’s what makes concurrent camera and blade operation a reality, not a claim.
Imperial Restoration is our most comprehensive main sewer line service. Here is exactly what it includes.
We run the line as many times as required. There is no cap on passes — we work until the line is fully restored, not until a time limit is reached.
Imperial uses heavy-duty ¾" inner-core sewer cables — among the few companies in Winnipeg that do. Unlike standard cables that bind under rotation, our cables allow the inspection camera to run concurrently with the cutting equipment on every pass. What that means in practice: we see exactly what each blade is doing in real time, and we verify the result before moving forward.
Root mass is not just pushed through — it is cut back completely to the pipe wall. For restoration work, Imperial uses a triple-blade expanding cutter designed to reach 3 to 6 inches in diameter. Each of the three blades moves independently, allowing the cutter to adapt to pipe shifts and misalignments rather than stopping at them. Even in a shifted line, we cut as thoroughly as the pipe allows — wall to wall, not just through the centre.
Every misalignment, crack, belly, or structural concern found during the restoration is noted with footage and location. Nothing is left undocumented.
You receive a complete written report documenting the line’s condition, findings, work performed, and recommendations. Video footage of the inspection is included.
The City of Winnipeg’s required record of cleaning is included automatically — ready for permit submission if structural repair is needed.
The goal is original pipe capacity — not just restored flow. We verify wall-to-wall clearance with the camera before the job is considered complete.
If the assessment identifies structural damage that warrants it, we refer you to our trusted lining specialist. Mechanical restoration is the long-term solution — lining is the permanent one.
Imperial Restoration carries our strongest written guarantee. Where line conditions support it, your restoration is covered for up to five full years. If the issue returns within the covered period, we come back — at no charge.
Guarantee duration is determined at time of service based on line condition and documented findings. Lines with structural defects that prevent a full guarantee will be clearly noted in your written report.
Call 204-898-8895Our technician assesses the situation on-site and determines whether restoration is the right service for your line. Written approval is required before any work begins.
You receive a flat-rate quote for Imperial Restoration before we set up. The rate does not change based on how many passes the line requires.
Unlimited passes with camera verification on every run. We work until the line is restored to original capacity — not a cent more than what was approved.
You receive the full written report, video, and record of cleaning. Your guarantee period is confirmed in writing based on the line’s documented condition.
If your line keeps backing up every few months after being cleared, a standard clean is no longer keeping pace with the buildup or root growth. Restoration addresses the line at a deeper level.
Heavy root intrusion that has been building for years requires more than a single-pass clearing. Restoration cuts all root mass back to the pipe wall and maximizes the time before re-entry.
When years of grease, scale, and buildup have significantly reduced the pipe’s interior diameter, standard cleaning restores partial flow. Restoration restores full capacity.
Bringing a line to its best possible condition before listing a property, or restoring a line after purchasing an older home, is exactly what Imperial Restoration is designed for.
If the priority is the longest possible guarantee and the most thorough documentation, Imperial Restoration is the only service that delivers both.
Before committing to an excavation and full pipe replacement, a restoration determines how much life is left in the existing line — and documents it in writing.
Mechanical restoration is the most thorough cleaning available and significantly extends the life of your line. But if the pipe itself is structurally compromised — cracked, collapsed, or severely misaligned — roots will continue to find their way back in through those defects regardless of how well the line is cleaned. Pipe lining addresses the structural defect directly by creating a new pipe wall inside the existing one. When our restoration assessment identifies structural damage that warrants it, we refer you to our trusted lining specialist so you have the full picture and all your options.
