When the camera finds something that can’t be cleaned — Imperial coordinates the full scope. One point of contact. Every trade invoices directly. Your home is treated with care from first dig to final patch.
When a camera inspection reveals a broken line, a failed house trap, a missing backwater valve, or a defect that requires excavation, Imperial acts as the coordinating contractor for the full scope of work. We manage the job from diagnosis through to final concrete patch.
Imperial handles the excavation, the site preparation, and the rough concrete restoration. Licensed plumbing repairs are performed by our trusted contractor network — primarily Guardian Plumbing. Site cleanup and mid-job housekeeping throughout the project is handled by our sister company, Pembina Cleaning Co.
Every contractor on the job invoices the customer directly for their own scope of work. Imperial does not mark up partner trades. You pay each specialist for exactly what they did — nothing more.
Most excavation jobs involve multiple contractors. The typical approach is for one company to manage the whole scope, mark up every subcontractor, and invoice the customer a single inflated total. Imperial does not operate that way.
We coordinate because it produces a better outcome for the customer — consistent communication, a single point of accountability, and a site that stays as clean and livable as possible throughout a major repair. But every trade earns their own invoice. That’s what a customer-first company looks like in practice.
Every excavation job is scoped based on camera findings. The following are the most common components Imperial coordinates.
Every excavation begins with a thorough camera inspection to confirm the defect, its exact location, and the extent of the damage. Underground locating marks the dig site precisely before any excavation begins.
Imperial performs the excavation to expose the defective section of pipe. Interior basement excavation and exterior excavation are both within scope depending on the line and defect location.
Older Winnipeg homes often have house traps that are no longer required and create flow restrictions and failure points. Removal is coordinated through our licensed plumbing partner.
Backwater valve installation protects your home from sewer backup during high-flow events. Installation is performed by our licensed plumbing contractor.
A properly installed cleanout provides permanent access to your sewer line for future maintenance and inspection without requiring excavation. Coordinated through our licensed plumbing partner.
Cracked, collapsed, or severely misaligned pipe sections are repaired or replaced by our licensed plumbing contractor. Scope is confirmed on camera before any work is quoted or approved.
Where finished flooring sits over the excavation site, our renovation contractor partner removes it before dig and reinstalls it after concrete restoration. Coordinated through the Imperial Contractor Network — invoiced directly to you.
Imperial performs the rough concrete restoration after backfill. We patch to as smooth and level a finish as the repair allows. This is a rough concrete patch — if a finished concrete floor is required, a concrete finishing contractor can be coordinated through the Imperial Contractor Network.
Imperial coordinates a network of trusted specialists for the trades that fall outside our direct scope. Every contractor in the network is vetted and held to the same standard we hold ourselves to.
Our sister company handles site cleanup and housekeeping throughout the job — not just at the end. Mid-job cleanings keep your home as comfortable and livable as possible during a major sewer repair. Final site restoration is included as standard on every excavation job Imperial coordinates.
Our primary licensed plumbing partner for excavation repairs. House trap removal, backwater valve installation, cleanout installation, and broken line repair or replacement. Licensed, insured, and experienced in Winnipeg’s older housing stock.
Where flooring removal, finished concrete, or additional restoration work is required, Imperial coordinates through trusted renovation and concrete contractors in the network. Every contractor invoices directly — no markup, no middleman pricing.
Imperial does not bundle partner trades into a single marked-up invoice. Each contractor on the job — plumbing, cleaning, flooring, concrete finishing — invoices you directly for their own scope of work at their own rate. You see exactly what each trade costs. Imperial’s invoice covers Imperial’s work: camera inspection, locating, excavation, and rough concrete patch.
This model exists because we believe a customer facing a major sewer repair deserves to know exactly where their money is going. Coordination has value — but it should not come at the cost of transparency on every line of the job.
Every excavation job starts with camera inspection and underground locating. The defect is confirmed, located precisely, and documented before any scope is discussed.
Imperial presents the full scope of work. Each trade provides their own flat-rate quote. Written approval is required from you before any work begins on any part of the job.
