Commercial Drain Cleaning

Professional drain maintenance for commercial properties of all sizes. From restaurant grease lines to warehouse floor drains, we keep your business draining properly with scheduled and emergency service.

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.

Sewer Line Cleaning

Thorough sewer line cleaning to remove grease, sludge, roots, and mineral deposits. We use hydro jetting and mechanical cleaning to restore full flow to your main sewer line.

Drain Snake Service

Commercial drain snaking for residential and commercial properties. Our motorized cable machines clear roots, grease, and debris from drain lines up to 100 feet or more from the access point.

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.

Emergency Drain Service

24/7 emergency drain clearing and repair when you cannot wait until morning. Our crews carry everything needed to clear blockages, stop overflows, and restore drainage immediately.

Drain Repair

Professional drain repair for all pipe materials including PVC, cast iron, copper, and clay. We fix the problem at its source to stop leaks, prevent backups, and restore proper drainage.

Storm Drain Cleaning

Storm drain cleaning and maintenance to prevent flooding, standing water, and property damage during heavy rain. We clear debris, silt, and buildup from storm drain systems of all sizes.

Sewer Backup

Sewer backup emergencies require immediate action. We dispatch crews fast to stop the overflow, clear the line, and restore sanitary conditions — then find and fix the root cause.

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.

Sewer Line Replacement

When your sewer line is beyond repair, we replace the entire run from house to main with durable modern piping. Includes permits, inspection, and backfill with compacted material.

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.

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.

Clogged Drain Repair

Professional clog removal using drain snakes, augers, and hydro jetting. We clear tough blockages that store-bought cleaners and home remedies cannot touch, then verify clear flow with camera inspection.

Sewer Camera Inspection

Non-invasive sewer camera diagnostics using waterproof HD cameras. We record footage, mark problem locations, and provide you with a detailed report of findings and repair options.

Sewer Line Repair

From spot repairs to full section replacements, we fix damaged sewer lines efficiently and permanently. Camera-verified diagnostics ensure we repair exactly what needs fixing — nothing more, nothing less.

Professional drain cleaning for kitchens, bathrooms, floor drains, and main lines. We clear clogs caused by grease, hair, soap, and debris using cable machines and hydro jetting.

Professional grease trap pumping, cleaning, and maintenance to keep commercial kitchens compliant with health codes and drains flowing freely. We handle all sizes from under-sink units to large in-ground traps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most frequently asked sewer and drain questions from Lanham property owners.

Do you handle both residential and commercial drain cleaning in Lanham?

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.

How much does sewer line repair cost in Lanham, MD?

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.

How long does a drain cleaning take in Lanham?

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.

Does homeowners insurance cover sewer line repair in Lanham, MD?

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.

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

What causes recurring drain clogs in Lanham homes?

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.
