Main Line Drain Cleaning

Professional Main Sewer Line Cleaning

When your main sewer line is clogged, it affects every drain in your home. Main line clogs require professional equipment and expertise. Our main line drain cleaning service uses powerful techniques to clear tree roots, remove scale buildup, and restore full flow to your sewer system.

Main Line Issues We Address:

  • Tree root intrusion

  • Complete or partial blockages

  • Multiple fixture backups

  • Slow draining throughout entire home


Hydro-Jetting Service

The Most Powerful Drain Cleaning Method Available

Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water streams (up to 4,000 PSI) to completely clear drain lines and remove buildup from pipe walls. Unlike traditional snaking that punches a hole through clogs, hydro-jetting scours pipes clean—providing longer-lasting results and preventing quick re-clogging

    • Removes 100% of buildup, not just creates a hole

    • Clears tree roots from sewer lines

    • Environmentally safe—no chemicals

    • Longer-lasting results than traditional methods

    • Safe for most pipe materials

Ideal For:

  • Stubborn or recurring clogs

  • Grease buildup in restaurant or commercial drains

  • Tree root removal

  • Preventive maintenance

  • Older pipes with scale buildup


Video Camera Drain Inspection

See Exactly What's Causing Your Drain Problem

Guessing at drain problems leads to wasted money and recurring clogs. Our video camera drain inspection service uses waterproof cameras to visually inspect inside your pipes, identifying the exact location and nature of clogs, damage, or other issues. This technology allows us to provide accurate diagnoses and targeted solutions.

    • Exact location of clogs

    • Tree root intrusion points

    • Pipe damage or collapse

    • Scale and corrosion buildup

    • Foreign objects in drains

    • Proper pipe slope and installation

Camera Inspection Is Included With:

  • Main line clogs

  • Pre-purchase home inspections

  • Post-cleaning verification

  • Preventive maintenance programs


Root Removal from Drain Lines

Eliminate Tree Roots Without Damaging Your Pipes

Tree roots seek water and nutrients, making sewer lines an attractive target. Once roots enter pipes through small cracks or joints, they grow rapidly and create serious blockages. Our root removal service uses specialized cutting tools and hydro-jetting to remove roots and restore drainage often without excavation.

Our Root Removal Process:

  • Video camera inspection to locate root intrusion

  • Mechanical cutting to remove root mass

  • Hydro-jetting to clear remaining debris

  • Root treatment to slow regrowth

  • Recommendations for long-term solutions
