  • Guesswork
  • Snake and hope
  • Dig up the yard

When more than one drain backs up, the problem is usually the sewer line, not a fixture. We put a camera in the line first, record what it shows and hand you the footage, then quote the fix. Trenchless-first, with five no-dig systems in-house, and a straight answer when digging really is the right call.

Who to call first

A plumber’s call

  • A dripping faucet
  • A running toilet
  • A leaking supply line under a sink

Those are fixture problems. They start and end at the fixture.

Our call, first

  • Several drains backing up at once
  • Sewage coming up in the lowest drain
  • Gurgling when the washer or toilet runs
  • A sewer smell indoors or in the yard
  • A soggy patch or a dip over the line
  • Tree roots in the line
  • Old cast iron or Orangeburg pipe

That’s the line, and a snake through one drain won’t show you why. One camera run will: we diagnose before we sell.

Clay Mayfield Google review
