What Are Drain & Sewer Lines?
Drain lines run beneath your home’s foundation and carry wastewater away from sinks, toilets, and appliances. Once outside, they connect to your main sewer line.
Both systems rely on proper flow. When a clog, break, or blockage occurs, it can quickly lead to backups inside your home.
Our Drain & Sewer Services
Sewer Camera Inspections
We run a camera every time. This allows us to pinpoint the exact cause and location of the issue so there is no guesswork.
Sewer Machine Cleaning
Our heavy-duty augers clear most clogs quickly and restore proper flow.
Hydro Jetting
For tougher blockages, our jet machine uses high-pressure water to remove grease, buildup, and debris from inside your pipes.
Hydrostatic Testing
We block the line and test it under pressure to identify leaks or failures beneath your foundation.
Tunnel & Spot Repairs
Some issues come from broken or shifted pipes under the slab. We perform both spot repairs and full tunnel replacements depending on severity.
Why Drain & Sewer Problems Happen
Clogs and failures are commonly caused by:
-
Grease, wipes, and improper materials
-
Tree root intrusion
-
Aging or deteriorating pipes
-
Improper installation or pipe slope issues
Since your system relies on gravity, even small issues can lead to major backups.
