Our Sewer & Drain Services in Alexandria

From emergency sewer backup to routine drain cleaning, we handle every sewer and drain need for homes and businesses in Alexandria, VA.

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 Backup

Fast sewer backup cleanup and repair. We clear the blockage, sanitize affected areas, and diagnose the cause to prevent future backups. Available around the clock for emergencies.

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.

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 Replacement

Full sewer lateral replacement using traditional excavation or trenchless pipe bursting. We remove old clay, cast iron, or Orangeburg pipe and install modern materials designed to last 50+ years.

Storm Drain Cleaning

Preventive storm drain cleaning that protects your property from water damage during heavy rainfall. We remove leaves, silt, and debris that block drainage and cause pooling and flooding.

Hydro Jetting

Professional hydro jetting that removes everything from your pipe walls — tree roots, hardened grease, calcium buildup, and years of accumulated debris. Restores full pipe capacity in a single visit.

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.

Trenchless Sewer Repair

Minimally invasive trenchless technology repairs cracked, root-damaged, and deteriorating sewer lines from the inside. No trenching, no landscaping destruction, no lengthy restoration projects.

Emergency Drain Service

Emergency drain problems need immediate attention. We dispatch experienced technicians with commercial equipment any time — day, night, weekends, or holidays — to resolve your drain emergency fast.

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.

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 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 Installation

Professional sewer lateral installation with proper slope, bedding, and municipal tie-in. We handle permits, excavation, pipe laying, inspection, and site restoration from start to finish.

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 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.

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Can tree roots damage my sewer line in Alexandria?

Absolutely. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer line damage in Alexandria, VA. Roots seek out moisture and can penetrate tiny cracks or joints in sewer pipes, eventually causing blockages and pipe collapse. Our crews remove roots with hydro jetting and can reline pipes to prevent future intrusion.

Will drain cleaning damage my pipes in Alexandria?

Professional drain cleaning by trained technicians will not damage your pipes. Our Alexandria 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 Alexandria 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 Alexandria property without any excavation.

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

Yes. Our Alexandria, VA 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.

What are signs I need sewer line repair in Alexandria?

Common warning signs for Alexandria 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.

How long does a drain cleaning take in Alexandria?

Most residential drain cleaning jobs in Alexandria, VA 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.
