What Is a Main Drain Line?

The main line is the central pipe that connects your home’s drain system to the public sewer or septic tank. When this line becomes clogged, water and waste can back up into multiple fixtures.

Common Causes of Main Line Blockages

  • Grease buildup from kitchen sinks and dishwashers
  • Hair, soap, and debris from bathrooms and laundry drains
  • Non-flushable items like wipes or hygiene products
  • Tree root intrusion into sewer line joints
  • Sludge, scale, or structural pipe deterioration

Signs You Need Main Line Drain Cleaning

Watch for symptoms like water backing up in more than one drain, gurgling toilets, or slow drainage throughout your home. You may also notice sewage odors inside or outside the house, or standing water around floor drains or basement fixtures. These are strong indicators that your main line needs professional cleaning.

How Logan Services Clears Main Line Clogs

We start with a full video camera inspection to locate the blockage. Depending on the severity, we use mechanical clearing methods or high-pressure hydro jetting to eliminate the clog. Hydro jetting, also known as water jetting, scours the full interior of the pipe, removing grease, roots, and buildup without damaging the plumbing.
