Answers to the most frequently asked sewer and drain questions from Durham property owners.
Absolutely. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer line damage in Durham, NC. 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.
Professional drain cleaning by trained technicians will not damage your pipes. Our Durham crews select the appropriate equipment for your pipe material and condition — cable machines for tough clogs, hydro jetting for buildup, and gentle methods for older or fragile pipes. We always inspect before cleaning to avoid unnecessary risk.
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 Durham property without any excavation.
Yes. Scranton Sewer Authority offers preventive sewer and drain maintenance programs for Durham 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.
Recurring clogs in Durham 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.

"They came out the same day I called for a slow drain in the basement. Turned out to be tree roots in the main line. They cleared it with hydro jetting and quoted us on relining. Fair pricing, no pressure."
"They replaced our old cast iron drain pipes with PVC. The work was clean, finished on time, and the price was exactly what they quoted. No hidden costs. Highly recommend."
"Had sewer line relining done after a camera inspection revealed multiple cracks. The liner went in smoothly and the crew showed us the before and after camera footage. Night and day difference inside the pipe."
