Services
Drain Cleaning
Our drain cleaning services address clogged sinks, toilets, and sewer mains using advanced hydro jetting technology. We remove blockages caused by debris, grease, and tree roots while identifying underlying issues. Our technicians ensure complete pipe clearance and provide preventative maintenance recommendations to prevent future problems.
Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting utilizes high-pressure water streams to thoroughly clean sewer lines and remove stubborn blockages. This method effectively clears scale buildup, grease deposits, and root intrusions while minimizing damage to surrounding infrastructure. We use calibrated equipment to match pressure requirements for different pipe materials and diameters.
Camera Inspection
Our camera inspection service identifies hidden pipe issues using specialized push cameras and tractor-mounted systems. This technology allows precise location of cracks, leaks, and blockages without destructive digging. We provide detailed visual reports with repair recommendations for both residential and commercial properties.
Emergency Services
Available 24 hours a day, our emergency services address urgent drain and sewer problems including basement backups and commercial plumbing failures. We dispatch fully equipped trucks with vacuum systems and diagnostic tools to resolve critical issues efficiently. Our rapid response teams prioritize property protection and operational continuity for businesses.
Sewer Maintenance
Our comprehensive sewer maintenance programs include regular inspections, preventative hydro jetting, and line mapping services. We help property owners identify potential issues before they become emergencies while maintaining detailed service records. Commercial clients receive customized maintenance schedules and priority emergency response.

$$$ EXPENSIVE--- 615.00 for simple pump out. Very knowledgeable service staff. Prompt and courteous. I was quoted 200-ish per hour plus .20/gallon. Got a little sticker shock was he told me it was 615.00. Make sure you get a quote in writing. Satisfied with service, just a lot more $$$ than I had anticipated.

Our kitchen sink backed up and after snaking it ourselves, we discovered that our kitchen stack was the issue. I called first thing in the morning and spoke with a very professional and cheerful scheduler who was able to send someone out that afternoon. Brock showed up on-time, was friendly and knowledgeable and had the problem taken care of in no time. The price was extremely reasonable even with the roof fee. I would highly recommend Mid American Drain Services!

We've used these folks since the 1990s. Theyre on time. Professional. Knowledgeable. Do a spectacular job. And, during Covid, they all wore masks and practiced all other applicable precautions. They can snake out the drain. They can camera the drain. They had hydro-flush the drain. They can provide all the services a quality drain cleaning company provides. And, best of all, theyre 24 hours/7 days a week.

We had them do our sewer inspection for the home we just purchased. They showed up on time and we really appreciated how quickly they got us in. The guy was friendly, professional, and we appreciated him wearing protective sanitary gear into our home during these times.
