Advanced video camera inspection of your sewer and drain lines. Real-time footage identifies problems, pinpoints locations, and helps us recommend the most cost-effective solution.
Complete sewer line cleaning that goes beyond simple snaking. We scour pipe walls with hydro jetting equipment to remove years of buildup and restore your sewer line to near-original capacity.
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.

New sewer line installation for additions, new construction, and properties connecting to municipal sewer for the first time. Proper grade, materials, and connections for long-term reliability.

Around-the-clock emergency drain service for overflowing drains, sewage backups, and flooding. We respond fast with professional equipment to stop the emergency and protect your property.
Sewer line relining seals cracks, closes root entry points, and restores flow capacity without excavation. We pull a resin-coated liner through your existing pipe and cure it in place for a permanent fix.

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.
Storm drain cleaning and maintenance to prevent flooding, standing water, and property damage during heavy rain. We clear debris, silt, and buildup from storm drain systems of all sizes.
Emergency sewer backup response to stop sewage overflow, clear the blockage, and clean up affected areas. We respond 24/7 to protect your property and your health.
Trenchless sewer repair fixes damaged pipes without excavation. We use CIPP lining or pipe bursting to rehabilitate your sewer line while preserving your yard, driveway, and landscaping.

Have questions about sewer or drain service in Portland? We have answers.
We provide 24/7 emergency sewer and drain response throughout Portland and surrounding Maine communities. Our crews typically arrive on-site within 60 to 90 minutes of your call. Sewer backups are health hazards that worsen quickly, so rapid response is critical to protecting your property and your family.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water — up to 4,000 PSI — to scour pipe walls clean, removing grease, scale, tree roots, and mineral deposits. It is recommended for Portland properties with recurring clogs, heavy grease buildup, or sewer lines blocked by roots. It is the most effective way to restore full flow to your pipes.
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 Portland property without any excavation.
Sewer line repair costs in Portland typically range from $1,500 to $5,000 for standard residential repairs and $5,000 to $15,000 or more for full replacements. Factors include pipe material, depth, length of damaged section, and whether trenchless methods can be used. We provide free camera inspections with detailed, written estimates before any work begins.
Common warning signs for Portland homeowners include multiple slow drains, gurgling toilets, sewage odors in the yard or basement, soggy patches in the lawn, and recurring drain backups.
