Root Cleaning
Our root cleaning service eliminates tree root intrusions in sewer lines using custom cutters that clear blockages without damaging pipes. We recommend annual inspections to prevent recurring issues. Commercial and residential customers benefit from our 58-year track record of reliable service.
Drain Cleaning
We remove drain obstructions using mechanical methods instead of corrosive chemicals. Our technicians clear kitchen grease buildup, bathroom clogs, and floor drain blockages while preserving plumbing integrity. All work includes a one-year guarantee against recurrence.
Video Inspection
Our video inspection technology locates underground pipe problems with precision. This non-invasive method identifies root intrusions, cracks, and blockages without excavation. Customers receive visual confirmation of issues before any repair work begins.
Preventative Maintenance
Our maintenance agreements include scheduled system checks to prevent emergencies. Members receive reminder cards every 1-3 years based on risk assessment. This proactive approach extends system lifespan and reduces unexpected repair costs.
Pipe Locating
We use specialized equipment to map underground pipe locations before excavation. This service prevents accidental damage during landscaping or construction projects. Accurate locating helps plan future maintenance and repairs efficiently.

They responded the next day showing at the beginning of the window of time they asked for. In less than 15 min they had a 40+ year old drain unclogged. Mike was very professional and polite. Only took 15 minutes and cost $95. I am very pleased with the speed and price.
