Answers to the most frequently asked sewer and drain questions from Philadelphia property owners.
Absolutely. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer line damage in Philadelphia, PA. Roots seek out moisture and can penetrate tiny cracks or joints in sewer pipes, eventually causing blockages and pipe collapse. Our crews remove roots with hydro jetting and can reline pipes to prevent future intrusion.
Most residential drain cleaning jobs in Philadelphia, PA take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the severity of the clog and the number of drains affected. Main sewer line cleaning may take longer.

Sewer line repair costs in Philadelphia typically range from $1,500 to $5,000 for standard residential repairs and $5,000 to $15,000 or more for full replacements. Factors include pipe material, depth, length of damaged section, and whether trenchless methods can be used. We provide free camera inspections with detailed, written estimates before any work begins.

"Good service for a bathtub drain clog. The tech used a drain snake to pull out a nasty hairball, then flushed the line to confirm good flow. Quick visit, reasonable price. Would call again."
"Our commercial kitchen drains were draining slower and slower. They did a full hydro jetting of the grease lines and cleaned the trap. Everything flows perfectly now. We are setting up quarterly maintenance."
"Scranton Sewer Authority relined our 60-year-old sewer pipe without any excavation. The process was clean, fast, and the warranty gives us peace of mind for decades. Could not be happier with the result."
