Nanaimo, Parksville, Qualicum perimeter drains and landscaping – estimate today

At Fairytale Landscaping and Drainage, when sewer line problems happen, they’re urgent, disruptive, and often hidden underground. We diagnose sewer line issues accurately and carry out proper exterior excavation and repair — no guesswork, no temporary fixes.
Early assessment can prevent costly emergency repairs.
Serving Nanaimo, Parksville, Qualicum Beach, and Mid-Island communities.
Sewer line issues don’t always start with a full backup.
Early warning signs often include:
• Slow or gurgling drains
• Sewage odours inside or outside the home
• Frequent drain backups
• Wet areas or sinking ground near sewer routes
• Tree root intrusion
• Older clay, cast iron, or failing pipe materials
If ignored, these issues can escalate into major property damage and costly emergency repairs.
Sewer problems are rarely visible from the surface. Repairing without confirming depth, location, and condition can lead to unnecessary excavation and inflated costs.
Our diagnostic process may include:
• 100-ft sewer camera inspections
• Targeted test digs to confirm depth and pipe condition
• Step-by-step verification before major excavation begins.
You’ll know what’s wrong, where it is, and what it takes to fix it — before work begins.
Depending on site conditions, we provide:
• Sewer line repairs and partial replacements
• Root removal and pipe damage correction
• Collapsed or offset pipe repair
• Sewer line realignment and reconnection
• Trench excavation and restoration
• Test dig coordination
We repair only what’s necessary.
A test dig may be recommended when:
• Camera inspections show damage but location is unclear
• Pipe depth or condition must be visually confirmed
• Previous repairs have failed
Insurance or documentation is required
All sewer repairs are completed with careful consideration for:
• Existing structures
• Utilities and service lines
• Property access and restoration
We follow safe excavation practices and confirm site conditions before expanding the scope of work. Utility locates are confirmed before excavation begins.
Sewer line repairs are priced based on:
Depth and access
Pipe material and damage
Soil conditions
Scope of repair required
Because every site is different, pricing is confirmed after inspection or test dig.
No repairs are performed without approval.
Sewer diagnostics and test digs are billed separately from repairs
Hidden or concealed issues may require additional investigation
Repairs are limited to confirmed and accessible areas unless expanded by agreement
