Common Drain & Sewer Problems We Fix
Drain and sewer issues often start small and get worse over time. If you’re seeing any of the symptoms below,
it’s usually best to diagnose the line early—before a full backup or major repair is needed.
- Slow drains in sinks, tubs, or showers
- Recurring clogs that return after “clearing”
- Gurgling drains or toilets
- Sewer odors inside or outside the home
- Multiple fixtures backing up at once
- Standing water near cleanouts or in the yard
Our Approach: Diagnose First, Fix the Right Way
The fastest solution isn’t always the best solution. We start with an evaluation, use the right equipment
(like cameras and jetting when needed), and recommend a repair plan built for long-term reliability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Drain & Sewer Service FAQs
Is drain cleaning the same as hydro jetting?
Not exactly. Drain cleaning typically removes a blockage using tools like augers/snakes, while hydro jetting uses high-pressure water
to clean the pipe walls and remove heavy buildup. Jetting is often recommended for recurring clogs or severe buildup.
When do I need a sewer camera inspection?
If you have repeated backups, multiple drains clogging at once, sewer odors, or you suspect root intrusion, a camera inspection helps
identify the exact cause and location of the issue—so repairs are targeted and accurate.
Do you offer trenchless sewer repair?
Yes—when the line condition and layout qualify. Trenchless methods can reduce digging and limit disruption, but not every situation is a match.
We typically confirm eligibility after inspection.
What should I do if sewage is backing up right now?
Stop using water fixtures to prevent overflow, keep people and pets away from affected areas, and call for emergency help.
If you have an accessible cleanout, we can often diagnose and relieve pressure quickly.
