Trenchless Sewer Pipe Lining
Trenchless pipe lining repairs damaged sewer lines without excavation. Using cured-in-place liners, we restore pipe integrity in hours rather than days. This method resists tree roots, corrosion, and soil pressure while offering 30-year durability for permanent solutions.
Hydro Jetting
Our hydro jetting service clears severe blockages using industrial-strength water streams. Specialized nozzles remove grease buildup and root intrusions from 3" to 12" pipes. This environmentally-friendly method works faster than traditional snaking while leaving cleaner pipe walls to prevent re-clogging.
Video Inspections
We use waterproof cameras to inspect drain and sewer lines up to 300' deep. Real-time video identifies cracks, root intrusion, and blockages. This non-invasive method with sonde tracking provides accurate location/depth readings to plan targeted repairs without guesswork.
Root X Treatment
Root X application kills invasive tree roots in sewer lines using foaming herbicide technology. Applied after mechanical root removal, it creates chemical barriers preventing regrowth. Recommended annually with line snaking, this cost-effective solution extends pipe lifespan and prevents emergency excavations.
Grease Trap Cleaning
We perform complete grease trap maintenance by vacuuming contents, cleaning baffles, and scraping residue buildup. Our EPA-compliant service follows local regulations for FOG (fats, oils, grease) removal. Regular maintenance prevents drain backups and costly fines for restaurant and commercial clients.

Questions
When should I schedule drain cleaning?
Preventative maintenance every 1-2 years is recommended, or if you notice slow drainage, unusual odors, or recurring clogs. Early intervention prevents costly emergencies.
How do you locate underground pipes?
We use sonde-equipped camera systems emitting 512Hz signals tracked by surface receivers. This precisely identifies pipe location, depth, and direction without destructive digging.
What payment methods are accepted?
We offer digital payment options through secure platforms. Traditional payment methods can be arranged upon request during service consultation.
Do you service commercial properties?
Yes, we handle restaurants, municipal buildings, and businesses with specialized grease trap maintenance and industrial drain cleaning capabilities across New England.
Are chemicals used in drain cleaning?
We avoid harsh chemicals. Root X uses targeted herbicide technology, and Grease X employs microbial treatments. These eco-friendly solutions maintain pipe integrity while solving blockages.
What causes recurring sewer backups?
Common causes include tree root infiltration, collapsed pipes, mineral buildup, or city sewer line issues. Our camera inspections identify exact causes for permanent resolution.
