Main sewer line cleaning

Every drain in a house or building runs into one main line on its way to the street sewer or septic tank. When that line clogs, nothing drains, and the water comes back up through the lowest fixture. We clear main lines day and night.

Call us 24/7. We are always open.

What a main line clog looks like

• Water or sewage coming up from a basement floor drain, laundry line or set tub
• Toilets that gurgle or bubble when you run a sink or the washing machine
• More than one drain slow at the same time
• A sewer smell in the basement

The lowest drain in the building backs up first. In most homes that is a laundry line or set tub in the basement. If you don't have one, it may be the tub or a first-floor sink.

What we do

We open the line at a cleanout (or by pulling a toilet when there is no cleanout) and run a drain cable through to the street or tank. The cutting head breaks up the clog and tears out roots, wipes and debris.

When the line is packed with grease or heavy roots, or the clog keeps coming back, we can follow up with high-pressure water jetting and a camera inspection so you can see what is going on inside the pipe.

When to call

Call as soon as you see water backing up or several drains slowing down together. Stop running water and flushing toilets until the line is clear, and keep away from any sewage water on the floor. We answer 24/7.
