Answers to the most frequently asked sewer and drain questions from Lanham property owners.
Yes. Our Lanham, MD 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.
Sewer line repair costs in Lanham typically range from $1,500 to $5,000 for standard residential repairs and $5,000 to $15,000 or more for full replacements. Factors include pipe material, depth, length of damaged section, and whether trenchless methods can be used. We provide free camera inspections with detailed, written estimates before any work begins.
Most residential drain cleaning jobs in Lanham, MD 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.
Most standard homeowners insurance policies in Lanham 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 Lanham homeowners understand their coverage and provide documentation for claims that do apply.
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 Lanham property without any excavation.
Recurring clogs in Lanham 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.

"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."
"Our restaurant had a grease trap emergency right before a health inspection. They came out the same morning, pumped and cleaned the trap, and got us compliant. Lifesavers."
"Called for a sewer camera inspection before buying a house. They found a cracked section of clay pipe and a tree root intrusion. Saved us from a very expensive surprise. Honest and thorough."
