Look for These Signals That Let You Know It’s Time for Sewer Services
Unless you are a professional or have experience in the sewer and plumbing industry, it can be difficult to determine when you are experiencing problems with your sewer system.
Common signs include:
- Slow drains
- Flooding
- Patches of green grass in your yard
- Foul smells coming from your yard

Sewage Ejector Pumps
Do you have a basement bathroom? Sink? Washer/Dryer? If so, that water needs to be carried away from your home. However, without a proper sewage ejector pump, you’re putting your water supply at risk. A sewage ejector is a small device that pumps “gray water (runoff from appliances, bathrooms, etc.)” through your pipes and away from your phone.
Professional and Efficient Drain Cleaning
Your plumbing system doesn’t work properly without drains that successfully carry away wastewater. Additionally, over time, your drains will accumulate buildup that could cause clogs, complete backups, and other issues.

Drain Cleaning & Sewer Frequently Asked Questions
The usual suspects are grease and food in the kitchen, hair and soap in the bathroom, and things that shouldn’t be flushed. Outside the house, tree roots, grease buildup, and pipe damage can clog or block the main sewer line—which is a bigger job than a slow sink.
Chemical products are not always the best solution for a stopped up drain. Some formulas can be hard on plumbing materials, especially in older homes, and they may only open part of the blockage. Mechanical or professional cleaning is often a better way to clear the line and address the actual cause of the problem.
One slow sink or tub usually means the issue is limited to that particular drain. When toilets, sinks, tubs, or floor drains begin acting up at the same time, the blockage may be deeper in the plumbing system. Bubbling noises, unpleasant odors, or water coming back through another drain are also signs that the main line should be inspected.
For most homes, there’s no strict schedule—you clean them when they slow down. But if you have a history of clogs, older pipes, or trees near your sewer line, periodic cleaning can prevent the backups that tend to hit at the worst possible time.
Yes. Beyond clearing the current clog, we can identify what’s causing repeat problems and recommend fixes—so you’re not calling us for the same drain every few months.
