“Basement floor drain kept backing up. They found roots in the sewer line, cleared it and gave us an honest answer about whether we needed to replace it. We didn’t, yet.”

Sewer Line & Main Drain Services in Pierre, SD
Main line clogs, sewer backups, root intrusion and camera inspections.
Professional Sewer & Drain Services You Can Count On
When the main sewer line is blocked, every drain in the building is affected, and sewage backing up into a basement is a health hazard, not just a mess.
We clear main lines, inspect them with a camera to find roots, sags or breaks, and recommend the repair that actually solves the problem.
Common Problems
Signs You Need a Plumber
- Multiple slow drains
When several fixtures back up together, the main line is the usual suspect.
- Sewage backup
Water coming up through the floor drain or lowest fixture.
- Tree root intrusion
Roots find their way into older clay and cast-iron sewer pipes.
- Sewer smell inside or outside
Can point to a cracked line, dry trap or venting issue.
- Soggy patches in the yard
May be a sign of a broken sewer line underground.
- Older homes with original lines
Aging pipe can crack, sag or collapse over time.

FAQs
Sewer & Drain Services Questions
What causes sewer line clogs?
The most common causes are tree roots, grease, wipes and other items that shouldn’t be flushed, and older pipes that have sagged or cracked.
What is a sewer camera inspection?
We feed a waterproof camera into the line so we can see its condition and pinpoint problems without digging. It’s also a smart step before buying an older home.
Are “flushable” wipes really safe to flush?
No. They don’t break down like toilet paper and are one of the most common causes of main-line clogs.
Is a sewer backup an emergency?
Yes. Stop using water in the building and call us right away. Sewage carries bacteria and can damage flooring and drywall quickly.

“Our water heater quit on a Sunday night. They had someone out Monday morning, explained the options and had the new one in by lunch. Fair price and they hauled the old tank away.”
