How often should I schedule sewer line cleaning for my home?

Homeowners should schedule sewer line cleaning every three years or so. Most issues start as normal buildup and, in some yards, tree roots entering the pipe; cleaning on a schedule keeps small problems from becoming backups. In many cases, early hydro jetting can avoid excavation by clearing roots at the source. We provide comprehensive drain maintenance programs throughout the Franklin, Columbus, and Greenwood areas.

A typical visit may include:

  • using a flexible camera to take a peek down your pipes
  • drain snaking/rooter services to latch onto and remove blockages
  • hydro jetting with high-velocity water to remove tree roots and other hard obstructions

Skip retail chemical drain cleaners; these toxic liquids are not safe for you or your pipes.
