A sewer main carries everything that leaves your property, and over time it collects grease, grit, sludge and debris. A thorough main cleaning clears the pipe along its whole length, restoring flow and reducing the chance of a surprise backup. Property managers and owners across Knoxville schedule main cleaning to protect restaurants, apartment buildings and homes.
We use jetting and, where needed, vacuum equipment to clean the main, working from access points and recovering debris at a downstream point. A camera pass before and after documents the work. We explain what we found and whether the line is healthy or needs repair, and we suggest a cleaning schedule if one makes sense.
