What we do
Core Services
We keep the scope focused. Inspection, cleaning, repair, excavation, and replacement are different services, and the right next step depends on the condition found at the property.
Drain Cleaning
We clear slow or stopped sinks, tubs, showers, laundry and floor drains at the blockage, then check that they run freely.
Learn moreMain Sewer Line Cleaning
Several drains backing up at once? We clear the main building sewer from an accessible cleanout.
Learn moreHydro Jetting
We scour grease, sludge and debris off the pipe wall with high-pressure water, once we know the pipe can take it.
Learn moreSewer Camera Inspection
We run a camera through the line to find the cause and its location before any repair is chosen.
Learn moreSewer Line Repair
We repair a confirmed break, offset joint, belly or root entry at the section that failed.
Learn moreSewer Line Replacement
We replace the building sewer when the old pipe has failed along its length, following local permit rules.
Learn moreSewer Excavation

Learn moreSewer Cleanout Installation & Repair

How it works
From the first call to the right fix
The visit starts with the symptom, not a fixed package. For active sewage backups, overflowing drains, sudden main-line stoppages, or urgent underground line failures, call (404) 482-2527.
Call and describe it
What you are seeing, where it shows up and since when — and any earlier work on the same line.
Find the condition
Accessible piping is checked; a camera inspection is used when the condition makes video useful.
Choose the right scope
Cleaning removes obstruction or buildup; repair addresses a confirmed defect. Local permit rules are part of the plan.
Do the work
Excavation and replacement only when the confirmed condition calls for them — never by default.

Before you call
What are you seeing?
Most drain problems announce themselves the same few ways. Find the row closest to what is happening at your property; the linked page explains what it means and what we do about it.
| What you notice | What it usually points to | First step | Read |
|---|---|---|---|
| One sink, tub or toilet drains slowly; every other drain is fine | A clog in that fixture’s own drain or trap | Try the safe do-it-yourself steps before calling anyone | Unclog a drain yourself |
| Several drains are slow, or the lowest drain in the house backs up first | A blockage in the main drain or sewer line | Stop running water and run through the main-line checklist | Signs of a main line clog |
| Sewage is coming up through a drain | An active sewer backup | Stop using water, keep people and pets away, then follow the steps | What to do when your sewer backs up |
| Drains gurgle or back up mostly during heavy rain | Rainwater getting into the sewer, on your side or the utility’s | Note when it happens and check your downspouts and cleanout cap | Why drains back up when it rains |
| A sewer smell, but nothing is clogged | Often a dry trap, a failed toilet seal or a vent problem | Work through the odor checklist; if it could be gas, leave first | Sewer smell in the house |
| The same clog comes back every few months | Something in the line, such as roots, a sag or a break | Ask for a camera inspection before paying for repeated cleanings | Sewer camera inspections |
| A quote says the whole sewer line has to be replaced | Possibly true, possibly not — the video decides | Get the video and a written finding, then compare repair options | Sewer line repair options |
Sewage coming up a drain right now? Stop running water, keep people and pets away from it, and call (404) 482-2527. While you wait for us: what to do when sewage backs up.
