Sewer Backup

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.

Sewer Line Cleaning

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.

Full sewer lateral replacement using traditional excavation or trenchless pipe bursting. We remove old clay, cast iron, or Orangeburg pipe and install modern materials designed to last 50+ years.

Expert sewer pipe repair using proven techniques for every pipe material. We fix cracked, corroded, and root-damaged sewer lines with minimal property disruption and lasting results.

Sewer Line Relining

Professional CIPP relining to rehabilitate cracked, root-damaged, and leaking sewer lines from the inside. The epoxy-saturated liner cures in place and restores structural integrity without digging.

Grease Trap Cleaning

Scheduled grease trap cleaning and emergency service for restaurants and food service operations. We pump, clean, and inspect your grease trap to prevent backups and maintain code compliance.

Professional sewer lateral installation with proper slope, bedding, and municipal tie-in. We handle permits, excavation, pipe laying, inspection, and site restoration from start to finish.

Professional drain repair for all pipe materials including PVC, cast iron, copper, and clay. We fix the problem at its source to stop leaks, prevent backups, and restore proper drainage.

Drain Snake Service

Professional drain snaking using commercial-grade cable machines to break through tough clogs in sinks, tubs, showers, and main drain lines. Fast, effective, and safe for your pipes.

Minimally invasive trenchless technology repairs cracked, root-damaged, and deteriorating sewer lines from the inside. No trenching, no landscaping destruction, no lengthy restoration projects.

Drain Cleaning

Expert drain clearing for every type of clog. Our technicians diagnose the blockage location and severity, then use the most effective cleaning method to restore full drainage flow.

Sewer Camera Inspection

High-definition sewer camera inspection that shows you exactly what is happening inside your pipes. We locate cracks, roots, offsets, bellies, and blockages without any digging.

Clogged Drain Repair

Professional clog removal using drain snakes, augers, and hydro jetting. We clear tough blockages that store-bought cleaners and home remedies cannot touch, then verify clear flow with camera inspection.

Hydro Jetting

Industrial-strength hydro jetting for sewer mains, drain lines, and commercial plumbing. High-pressure water cuts through the toughest obstructions and leaves pipe walls clean for maximum flow.

Commercial Drain Cleaning

Professional drain maintenance for commercial properties of all sizes. From restaurant grease lines to warehouse floor drains, we keep your business draining properly with scheduled and emergency service.

Storm Drain Cleaning

Preventive storm drain cleaning that protects your property from water damage during heavy rainfall. We remove leaves, silt, and debris that block drainage and cause pooling and flooding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most frequently asked sewer and drain questions from Santa Fe property owners.

How do you diagnose sewer problems in Santa Fe without digging?

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 Santa Fe property without any excavation.

Do you handle both residential and commercial drain cleaning in Santa Fe?

Yes. Our Santa Fe, NM teams are equipped for drain cleaning at any scale — from residential kitchen and bathroom drains to commercial restaurant grease lines, multi-unit buildings, and industrial facilities. We carry equipment rated for pipes from 1.5 inches to 12 inches in diameter.

How long does a drain cleaning take in Santa Fe?

Most residential drain cleaning jobs in Santa Fe, NM take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the severity of the clog and the number of drains affected. Main sewer line cleaning may take longer. Our crews arrive with professional-grade snaking equipment and hydro jetting capability to handle any blockage quickly.

Can tree roots damage my sewer line in Santa Fe?

Absolutely. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer line damage in Santa Fe, NM. Roots seek out moisture and can penetrate tiny cracks or joints in sewer pipes, eventually causing blockages and pipe collapse. Our crews remove roots with hydro jetting and can reline pipes to prevent future intrusion.

Does homeowners insurance cover sewer line repair in Santa Fe, NM?

Most standard homeowners insurance policies in Santa Fe do not cover sewer line repair due to normal wear and aging. However, sudden damage from events like tree root intrusion or ground shifting may be partially covered. Some carriers offer sewer line endorsements. We help Santa Fe homeowners understand their coverage and provide documentation for claims that do apply.

What are signs I need sewer line repair in Santa Fe?

Common warning signs for Santa Fe homeowners include multiple slow drains, gurgling toilets, sewage odors in the yard or basement, soggy patches in the lawn, and recurring drain backups. If you notice any of these, call us for a sewer camera inspection to diagnose the problem before it becomes a costly emergency.
