Drain Team Albany Drain & Sewer Co.

Sewer Line Cleaning

When more than one fixture backs up at once, the problem is usually your main sewer line. We clear roots, grease, and debris from the main line that connects your home or business to the city sewer — stopping backups before they reach your floors.

Our process

01

Assess

We identify the main-line cleanout and confirm the blockage is in the sewer line.

02

Clear

We cut through roots and clear the line so the main drains freely again.

03

Confirm

We test multiple fixtures to verify the whole system drains.

04

Recommend

We advise whether the line needs ongoing maintenance to stay clear.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know it is the sewer line and not one drain?

If several fixtures back up together — especially low ones like tubs and toilets — it points to the main sewer line.

Do tree roots really get into sewer lines?

Yes. Roots seek water and work into pipe joints. We clear them and tell you how to keep them out.

Can a sewer backup wait until morning?

A backing-up sewer line can flood your home with wastewater. Call our emergency line — do not wait.
