FAQ
Straight answers about drains.
The questions we get on the phone every week — answered the same way we'd answer them standing in your yard.
Hydro jetting cleans a drain or sewer line with high-pressure water, scouring grease, scale, sludge, and roots off the pipe walls. Unlike snaking, which punches a hole through a clog, jetting restores the pipe's full diameter so the line flows the way it was built to.
Epoxy brush coating is a trenchless repair that applies structural epoxy to the inside of an existing pipe, sealing cracks, pinholes, and corrosion. When the host pipe is still structurally sound, it restores the line without digging — often in a day. Fully collapsed lines still require excavation.
Common signs are repeated backups, slow drains throughout the house, sewage smells, gurgling toilets, and unusually green or soggy patches in the yard. The only way to know for sure is a camera inspection — we run one before quoting any repair, and you watch the footage with us.
A waterproof camera travels the full length of your drain or sewer line and records what's inside: breaks, offsets, root intrusion, bellies, and blockages. We locate each problem's exact position and depth, so any repair is precise — one hole in the right place instead of exploratory digging.
Milling uses mechanical cutting heads inside the pipe to remove hardened scale, mineral buildup, intruded concrete, or failed liners that water jetting can't shift. It restores the pipe's original diameter without excavation and is the standard preparation step before epoxy brush coating.
Excavation is the last resort, for lines past saving: fully collapsed pipe, sheared joints, or severe root destruction. Because we locate the failure on camera first, we dig only where the problem is, replace that run, and restore the site — our own crew handles the whole job.
Yes. Drainline Services handles drain and sewer work for homeowners, property managers, and commercial buildings — from single-family kitchen lines to commercial mains. The method is the same either way: camera first, then the right fix, then camera verification.
