A clogged drain usually gives warning first. The kitchen sink drains slowly, the tub holds water after a shower, a toilet gurgles when the washer empties, or there is a sewer smell in the basement. When more than one fixture backs up at once, the problem is often in the main line, not the drain you are looking at. We clear the blockage. When it makes sense, we run our camera through the line to see what caused it. Common causes are grease, roots, a sagging section, or old cast iron or galvanized pipe that has corroded inside. If the pipe is damaged, we walk you through the repair options, including trenchless repair where it fits the job. You get upfront, flat rate pricing before we start, and every service call includes a free whole-system check. We offer 24/7 emergency response for backups that cannot wait.

## Common questions

Why do you put a camera in the drain?

Clearing a clog fixes the symptom. The camera shows what caused it. If roots, a broken section or corroded pipe are behind the backup, we can tell you before it happens again.

Should I try a chemical drain cleaner first?

Chemical cleaners can be hard on older pipe, and they rarely clear a clog in the main line. If we have to open the line afterward, the chemical is still sitting in it. It is usually better to call before pouring anything in.

Can a damaged drain line be fixed without digging up the yard?

We offer trenchless repair options. Whether trenchless repair fits depends on the condition and material of the line. The camera inspection tells us that.
