Answers to the most frequently asked sewer and drain questions from Harrisburg property owners.
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 Harrisburg property without any excavation.
Yes. Scranton Sewer Authority offers preventive sewer and drain maintenance programs for Harrisburg property owners including scheduled line cleaning, annual camera inspections, and grease trap service for commercial kitchens. Preventive maintenance catches developing problems early and extends the life of your sewer system significantly.
Most standard homeowners insurance policies in Harrisburg 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 Harrisburg homeowners understand their coverage and provide documentation for claims that do apply.
Most residential drain cleaning jobs in Harrisburg, PA 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.
Absolutely. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer line damage in Harrisburg, PA. 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.
Trenchless sewer repair uses pipe lining or pipe bursting technology to fix damaged sewer lines without digging up your yard, driveway, or landscaping. It is faster, less disruptive, and often costs less than traditional excavation. Our Harrisburg crews perform trenchless repairs when site conditions allow — saving you time, money, and landscaping restoration costs.

"Multiple drains in our old home were slow. The camera showed that the whole main line had grease and mineral buildup. One hydro jetting session and every drain in the house works like new. Amazing results."
"Our commercial kitchen drains were draining slower and slower. They did a full hydro jetting of the grease lines and cleaned the trap. Everything flows perfectly now. We are setting up quarterly maintenance."
"They replaced our old cast iron drain pipes with PVC. The work was clean, finished on time, and the price was exactly what they quoted. No hidden costs. Highly recommend."
