Commercial Drain Cleaning

Commercial drain cleaning designed for business operations. We schedule service around your hours, clean every drain in your facility, and maintain records for health and code compliance.

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 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.

Trenchless Sewer Repair

Trenchless sewer repair fixes damaged pipes without excavation. We use CIPP lining or pipe bursting to rehabilitate your sewer line while preserving your yard, driveway, and landscaping.

Sewer Line Repair

Professional sewer line repair for cracks, leaks, offsets, and root damage. We diagnose the problem with camera inspection and use the most effective repair method — traditional or trenchless — to restore your sewer line.

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 Backup

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.

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.

Drain Repair

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.

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.

Sewer Line Installation

New sewer line installation for additions, new construction, and properties connecting to municipal sewer for the first time. Proper grade, materials, and connections for long-term reliability.

Sewer Line Relining

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.

Hydro Jetting

Industrial-strength hydro jetting for sewer mains, drain lines, and commercial plumbing. High-pressure water cuts through the toughest obstructions and leaves pipe walls clean for maximum flow.

Emergency Drain Service

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.

Storm Drain Cleaning

Professional storm drain maintenance to keep surface water flowing safely away from your property. We clean catch basins, drain inlets, and underground storm lines to prevent flooding.

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about sewer or drain service in Richmond? We have answers.

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

We provide 24/7 emergency sewer and drain response throughout Richmond and surrounding Indiana 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.

Will drain cleaning damage my pipes in Richmond?

Professional drain cleaning by trained technicians will not damage your pipes. Our Richmond 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.

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

Does homeowners insurance cover sewer line repair in Richmond, IN?

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

What are signs I need sewer line repair in Richmond?

Common warning signs for Richmond homeowners include multiple slow drains, gurgling toilets, sewage odors in the yard or basement, soggy patches in the lawn, and recurring drain backups. If you notice any of these, call us for a sewer camera inspection to diagnose the problem before it becomes a costly emergency.

What is hydro jetting and when is it needed in Richmond?

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water — up to 4,000 PSI — to scour pipe walls clean, removing grease, scale, tree roots, and mineral deposits. It is recommended for Richmond properties with recurring clogs, heavy grease buildup, or sewer lines blocked by roots. It is the most effective way to restore full flow to your pipes.
