Our Sewer Services in Seattle

We handle every stage of sewer work, so you don’t need to coordinate multiple contractors.

Sewer Camera Inspection
We send a high-resolution camera through your underground lines to identify root intrusion, pipe offsets, bellies, or cracks without digging a single hole. The footage guides every repair decision we make.

Hydro Jetting
High-pressure water scours pipe walls clean and clears stubborn grease, debris, and root growth that a standard snake can’t remove. We also use hydro jetting as preventive maintenance before a small buildup becomes a full blockage.

Trenchless Sewer Repair
When a main line needs repair or replacement, our trenchless repair methods protect your landscaping, driveway, and sidewalk. We fix the pipe, not the yard.

Rooter & Drain Cleaning
Backed-up kitchen sinks, overflowing toilets, clogged floor drains in commercial basements: we clear them. Rooter service is one of the most common calls we get from Seattle property owners, and we respond fast.

Seattle Sewer Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

Many of Seattle’s older neighborhoods still have original clay or cast iron side sewer pipes. These materials are durable, but their joints aren’t watertight, making them vulnerable to root intrusion over time. Seattle’s frequent rainfall keeps soil moist year-round, which draws tree roots toward the water and nutrients inside buried pipes. Roots can crack pipe walls and cause serious backups if left unchecked.

Watch for these warning signs:

Slow or recurring drain backups in multiple fixtures at once
Gurgling toilets after running water elsewhere in the home
Sewer odors indoors or near clean-outs outside
Wet or unusually green patches in the yard above the sewer line

Root intrusion that blocks 50 percent or more of a pipe’s interior can affect flow significantly. According to Seattle Public Utilities, this level of blockage typically calls for inspection every one to two years and routine cleaning rather than a wait-and-see approach.

Camera Inspection: How We Decide Between Cleaning, Repair & Replacement

A sewer camera inspection isn’t just a diagnostic tool; it’s the decision-maker. Once we see the condition of your line on camera, we can tell you whether hydro jetting can solve the problem, whether the pipe is a candidate for trenchless repair, or whether the damage is severe enough to require full replacement.

Trenchless repair works well for pipes that are cracked or root-intruded but still structurally sound. A collapsed or severely offset pipe typically needs full replacement. Knowing which situation you’re in before any work begins means you get a tailored plan, not a default recommendation, and no surprises on cost.

Seattle Side Sewer Ownership & Maintenance Responsibilities

In Seattle, property owners are responsible for maintaining and repairing their side sewer, including clearing roots from the connection all the way to the public mainline. That responsibility is often overlooked until a backup forces the issue.

Inspection frequency matters. Minor root intrusions generally warrant a follow-up camera inspection every three to five years. When intrusion is blocking 50 percent or more of a pipe, annual or biennial inspection helps keep the situation from escalating. Side sewers are built from pipe segments joined at intervals, and offset joints can allow soil and debris to accumulate or create voids that destabilize the line over time. Staying ahead of those conditions is far less disruptive than emergency repair.

Preventing Recurring Sewer Problems in Seattle

Seattle’s wet climate is hard on buried sewer lines. Consistently moist soil accelerates root growth toward aging clay, cast iron, and concrete pipes, which are far more common in older Seattle-area homes than modern PVC. These materials crack more readily, and once roots find a joint, they expand it.

Periodic camera inspection is the most practical defense. Catching early-stage root growth or a hairline crack before it becomes a full blockage can cost far less than emergency repair. Hydro jetting complements this: clearing root growth and pipe buildup on a maintenance schedule helps prevent the gradual restriction that causes backups. If you haven’t had your side sewer inspected in several years, a camera inspection is a straightforward way to know exactly where things stand.
