Hydro Jetting

Professional hydro jetting that removes everything from your pipe walls — tree roots, hardened grease, calcium buildup, and years of accumulated debris. Restores full pipe capacity in a single visit.

Sewer Line Cleaning

Professional sewer main cleaning using high-pressure water jetting and cable machines. We clear stubborn blockages and flush the entire line to prevent future backups.

Sewer Line Replacement

Complete sewer line replacement when repair is no longer cost-effective. We install modern PVC or HDPE pipe with proper grade and connections for decades of reliable service.

Sewer Cleanout

We install and service sewer cleanouts to provide direct access to your main drain line. Essential for properties without existing cleanout access, older homes, and properties with recurring issues.

Drain Snake Service

Expert drain snake service that reaches deep into your plumbing to clear blockages that plungers and chemical cleaners miss. We use the right size cable and cutter head for your specific pipe.

Around-the-clock emergency drain service for overflowing drains, sewage backups, and flooding. We respond fast with professional equipment to stop the emergency and protect your property.

Expert sewer pipe repair using proven techniques for every pipe material. We fix cracked, corroded, and root-damaged sewer lines with minimal property disruption and lasting results.

Storm Drain Cleaning

Storm drain cleaning and maintenance to prevent flooding, standing water, and property damage during heavy rain. We clear debris, silt, and buildup from storm drain systems of all sizes.

Sewer Camera Inspection

Advanced video camera inspection of your sewer and drain lines. Real-time footage identifies problems, pinpoints locations, and helps us recommend the most cost-effective solution.

Professional drain repair for all pipe materials including PVC, cast iron, copper, and clay. We fix the problem at its source to stop leaks, prevent backups, and restore proper drainage.

Industrial-strength commercial drain cleaning for restaurants, retail spaces, offices, and multi-unit buildings. We handle grease lines, floor drains, main sewers, and everything in between.

Drain Cleaning

Expert drain clearing for every type of clog. Our technicians diagnose the blockage location and severity, then use the most effective cleaning method to restore full drainage flow.

Emergency sewer backup response to stop sewage overflow, clear the blockage, and clean up affected areas. We respond 24/7 to protect your property and your health.

Cured-in-place pipe lining creates a seamless new pipe inside your existing damaged sewer line. No excavation required — just a smooth, jointless liner that lasts 50+ years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most frequently asked sewer and drain questions from Pittsburgh property owners.

Do you handle both residential and commercial drain cleaning in Pittsburgh?

Yes. Our Pittsburgh, PA teams are equipped for drain cleaning at any scale — from residential kitchen and bathroom drains to commercial restaurant grease lines, multi-unit buildings, and industrial facilities. We carry equipment rated for pipes from 1.5 inches to 12 inches in diameter.

How often should I have my sewer line inspected in Pittsburgh?

We recommend a sewer camera inspection every 2 to 3 years for Pittsburgh properties, or immediately if you notice warning signs like slow drains or sewage odors. Older homes in Pittsburgh with clay or cast iron pipes should be inspected more frequently. Regular inspection catches small problems before they become expensive emergencies.

Does homeowners insurance cover sewer line repair in Pittsburgh, PA?

Most standard homeowners insurance policies in Pittsburgh do not cover sewer line repair due to normal wear and aging. However, sudden damage from events like tree root intrusion or ground shifting may be partially covered. Some carriers offer sewer line endorsements. We help Pittsburgh homeowners understand their coverage and provide documentation for claims that do apply.

Do you offer preventive sewer maintenance in Pittsburgh, PA?

Yes. Scranton Sewer Authority offers preventive sewer and drain maintenance programs for Pittsburgh property owners including scheduled line cleaning, annual camera inspections, and grease trap service for commercial kitchens. Preventive maintenance catches developing problems early and extends the life of your sewer system significantly.

How quickly can you respond to a sewer emergency in Pittsburgh?

We provide 24/7 emergency sewer and drain response throughout Pittsburgh and surrounding Pennsylvania communities. Our crews typically arrive on-site within 60 to 90 minutes of your call. Sewer backups are health hazards that worsen quickly, so rapid response is critical to protecting your property and your family.

How do you diagnose sewer problems in Pittsburgh without digging?

We use a specialized waterproof camera that is inserted into your sewer line through a cleanout. The camera transmits real-time video that shows us the exact location and nature of any blockage, crack, offset joint, or root intrusion. This lets us recommend the most cost-effective repair for your Pittsburgh property without any excavation.

"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."

— Wayne Pilkowski
★★★★★

"Fast, professional, and fair pricing. Our bathroom drain was completely stopped up and the technician had it cleared in under an hour. He even gave us tips to prevent future clogs."

— Angela Morrison
★★★★★

"The trenchless repair saved our front yard. We were dreading having to dig up the entire lawn but they pulled a liner through the existing pipe and it was done in one day. Could not even tell they were there."
