Drain Jetting and Unblocking for Businesses in Germantown

Restaurant kitchens, salons and multi-unit buildings put far more grease, hair and debris down their drains than a typical home. We clear floor drains, grease lines and main sewer lines, often after hours to avoid closing. Scheduled jetting every three to six months keeps grease lines open and cuts down on emergency calls. We can also coordinate with grease trap pumping. Service records are provided for inspections.

Emergency Drain Service in Germantown, MD

Sewage coming up through a shower drain or an overflowing toilet that will not stop is an emergency. Stop running water in the house and call (443) 719-1650 immediately. We respond with a truck stocked for main line clearing and camera inspection. Once the line is clear, we help with cleanup and explain what caused the backup. Fast service limits damage to floors and drywall.

Storm Drain Cleaning for Germantown, MD

Nor'easters, tropical storm remnants and summer downpours can overwhelm storm drains across Maryland and push water toward basements. Properly functioning storm drains are essential for preventing property damage during heavy rains.

Keeping these drains clear helps protect your foundation and landscaping from water accumulation, which matters even more where soil swells when wet.

Sewer Cleaning in Germantown, MD

When toilets gurgle and several drains back up at once, the problem is most often in the main sewer line. We access the line through an exterior cleanout and run a sectional cable machine with cutting heads sized for 3 or 4 inch pipe. This clears wipes, grease buildup and root masses. If your home does not have an accessible cleanout, we can pull a toilet or install a new one. Main line clearing typically takes one to two hours.

Hydro Jetting in Germantown

Hydro jetting sends water at up to 4,000 psi through a specialized nozzle that scours the full inside wall of the pipe. Unlike a cable, which punches a hole through the clog, jetting removes grease, scale and fine roots fully. It is the go-to method for restaurant drains and lines that clog again within months. We camera the line first to make sure the pipe is sound enough for jetting. Most residential jetting jobs take two to three hours.
