Fast clogged drain repair for stubborn blockages in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and main lines. We break through grease, hair, soap scum, and foreign object clogs quickly.

Hydro Jetting

High-pressure hydro jetting at up to 4,000 PSI scours pipe walls clean of grease, roots, scale, and mineral deposits. The most thorough pipe cleaning method available for residential and commercial lines.

Sewer Cleanout

Professional cleanout installation and service. A properly placed sewer cleanout saves time and money every time your line needs maintenance, inspection, or emergency clearing.

Drain pipe repair that addresses the root cause, not just the symptom. We camera-inspect, identify the failure point, and repair or replace the damaged section for lasting results.

Grease Trap Cleaning

Complete grease trap maintenance including pumping, scraping, and cleaning. We document service for health department records and recommend optimal cleaning intervals based on your kitchen volume.

Sewer Line Relining

Professional CIPP relining to rehabilitate cracked, root-damaged, and leaking sewer lines from the inside. The epoxy-saturated liner cures in place and restores structural integrity without digging.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about sewer and drain services in Ann Arbor, MI.

What causes recurring drain clogs in Ann Arbor homes?

Recurring clogs in Ann Arbor homes are usually caused by grease buildup inside drain lines, tree root intrusion into sewer pipes, pipe bellies or offsets that trap debris, or undersized plumbing. A sewer camera inspection identifies the root cause so we can fix the real problem, not just clear the symptom temporarily.

Does homeowners insurance cover sewer line repair in Ann Arbor, MI?

Most standard homeowners insurance policies in Ann Arbor 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 Ann Arbor homeowners understand their coverage and provide documentation for claims that do apply.

How long does a drain cleaning take in Ann Arbor?

Most residential drain cleaning jobs in Ann Arbor, MI 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. Our crews arrive with professional-grade snaking equipment and hydro jetting capability to handle any blockage quickly.

Can tree roots damage my sewer line in Ann Arbor?

Absolutely. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer line damage in Ann Arbor, MI. 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.

How do you diagnose sewer problems in Ann Arbor 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 Ann Arbor property without any excavation.

What is trenchless sewer repair and is it available in Ann Arbor?

Trenchless sewer repair uses pipe lining or pipe bursting technology to fix damaged sewer lines without digging up your yard, driveway, or landscaping. It is faster, less disruptive, and often costs less than traditional excavation. Our Ann Arbor crews perform trenchless repairs when site conditions allow — saving you time, money, and landscaping restoration costs.

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★

"Our kitchen drain had been slow for weeks. The technician used a camera to find a grease buildup about 30 feet down the line, then hydro jetted the whole thing. Drains faster than it has in years. Great service."

— Patricia Kowalski
★★★★★

"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."

— Carol Brennan
★★★★★

"Toilet was overflowing and nothing we tried would fix it. The technician discovered the problem was actually a clog in the main sewer line, not the toilet. He had it cleared in less than an hour. Knowledgeable crew."

— Steven Mitchell
