The sewer lateral is typically buried beneath your yard or driveway and connects your home’s plumbing system to a municipal sewer main or private septic tank. Because it runs underground and out of sight, clogs in this line often go unnoticed until serious symptoms appear.
Recognizing early signs of sewer line trouble can help prevent major plumbing emergencies:
Unpleasant odors may leave you wondering, “Why does my bathroom smell like sewage?” This is often a sign of a compromised or blocked sewer line that needs immediate professional attention.
Several factors can lead to underground sewer drain clogs:
Chemical products like Drano in toilets or kitchen drains may seem like a quick fix, but they can damage pipes and won’t resolve deep or structural blockages.
At Logan Services, we start with a targeted approach that includes a sewer camera inspection to locate blockages, root intrusion, or damage within the sewer line. Once we identify the issue, we apply the most effective method—often hydro jetting to clear out grease, roots, and deep obstructions using high-pressure water, or mechanical rodding for hard-to-reach clogs deep in the pipe. After clearing the line, we conduct a final inspection to confirm full drainage and ensure your system’s structural integrity. This process allows us to resolve tough issues like a clogged drain deep in the pipe, restoring proper flow and protecting your home.
Underground sewer clogs can result in yard flooding, basement sewage backups, and long-term structural damage to your foundation. Delayed cleaning may lead to total pipe failure, requiring excavation and costly replacement. Fast intervention prevents these outcomes and protects your property.

Pouring Drano in the toilet or trying to unclog a bathtub drain with home remedies rarely solves sewer issues. DIY fixes often target only surface-level symptoms and risk pipe damage or exposure to hazardous waste. Sewer lines are complex and best handled by trained professionals using diagnostic tools and safe, effective equipment.
Factor | DIY Methods | Professional Sewer Cleaning |
|---|---|---|
Tools | Store-bought augers or chemicals | Sewer camera, hydro jetting, root removal |
Effectiveness | Often ineffective for deep or outdoor clogs | Clears the entire line, including tree roots |
Safety | High risk of exposure to sewage, injury, or property damage | Safe, sanitary process using protective gear |
Best For | Not recommended for sewer line issues | Long-term, complete blockage removal |
Attempting to clear your sewer line on your own can be hazardous and rarely resolves the full issue. Sewer lines are complex, buried systems that require proper diagnostics and professional tools. Trusting a trained team like Logan Services ensures your sewer system is cleaned safely, completely, and without further risk to your home.
DIY methods may offer a short-term solution, but professional sewer cleaning ensures a safe, thorough result that protects your property.
Outdoor sewer lines are vulnerable to seasonal changes, tree growth, and soil pressure.

Warning signs include gurgling sounds, slow-draining toilets, multiple backed-up fixtures, or a sewer smell in your home. If these symptoms appear together, it’s likely a main sewer blockage requiring professional attention.
A strong sewer odor in the bathroom typically signals a blocked or broken sewer line, allowing gases to enter the home. Professional sewer line inspection and cleaning can identify the problem and restore proper sealing and ventilation.
A clogged sewer line can cause sewage backups, structural damage, and exposure to harmful bacteria. Timely cleaning protects your home and family from major disruptions and health hazards.
Yes, tree root intrusion is a common cause of sewer line clogs through small cracks or joints. Once inside, they expand and trap debris, causing major clogs. Logan Services uses sewer cameras and hydro jetting to safely clear and manage root intrusion.
Yes. Our team evaluates your pipe material and condition before choosing a method. For older systems, we use pressure levels and tools that safely clean without damaging the structure.
No. Using Drano in toilets can damage the porcelain, corrode pipes, and worsen existing blockages. For deep or stubborn clogs, professional cleaning is the safest and most effective option.
A smelly sink drain may be caused by food buildup, grease, or a partial clog in the branch or main sewer line. Professional drain and sewer line cleaning removes the underlying blockage and eliminates recurring odors.
A slow-draining toilet may point to a partial sewer line clog or venting issue. If plunging doesn’t help, it’s best to schedule a professional inspection to prevent a complete backup.

“We could not be more pleased with the services provided by the Columbus-based Logan Services team…Austyn (leader), Deavin, and Nick. They were exceptional in every way. Austyn is a true professional; he obviously loves his work and is a great leader, is impressively knowledgeable, experienced, respectful of personal property, and delightful. He and Deavin and Nick removed old heating and cooling systems and replaced them with marvelous new ones…working very efficiently and diligently—careful also to clean up everything. Austyn kindly and thoroughly explained everything about the new systems—not only how they work but how to identify problems and get immediate help if needed. We could not be more impressed and highly recommend them and Logan Services.“
“From the initial contact with the customer service team to set up the sales appointment through the installation of the HVAC system, Logan Services did a fantastic job. The salesperson did a great job of explaining what I was to expect when the installers came to the house to install the HVAC system. When the installers were finished with the job, they walked me through how the system is supposed to operate. I highly recommend Logan Services for your next HVAC system. I felt no pressure whatsoever to buy from them. They were fantastic to work with. The installers left the house clean when they left.”
“I really appreciate this company and especially their service technician, Brian. He showed up right on time, fully prepared, and ready to get to work. We had been dealing with a gas smell coming from our furnace for a while, but our previous HVAC company couldn’t find the issue and even tried to convince me that I wasn’t actually smelling gas.
Brian found the leak in about ten minutes.
Not only did he locate the problem, but he took the time to show me exactly how he found it and explained what was happening. The inlet gas valve was leaking slowly, causing the smell to build up throughout the day. His professionalism, honesty, and clear communication made all the difference.
I’m extremely grateful for his expertise and for a company that actually listens, investigates, and solves the problem. They’ve earned my trust and my business going forward.“
“The whole process was smooth from start to finish. Jeff gave me a great price and helped me and my family get our furnace replaced since our old one was not working. The install team was great, did a great job, and did a clean job. The install lead, Matt, showed me the furnace they installed and how the thermostat works.“
“I’m so glad we got a second opinion from Logan Services. First, we had the company that installed our 22-year-old AC unit. They left us hanging twice, stating that they changed 2 different capacitors. Doing so did absolutely NOTHING. After paying for both visits, we called Logan Services. Thank goodness we did. They were very nice, both the service on our first visit and the installation of our new Trane AC unit.
My hubby and I are thankful for the Logan team!”
“Great HVAC services. I will recommend to everyone I know! They got our initial appointment and new system in as soon as possible. Everyone we worked with were courteous and respectful. They were honest and gave us the best price compared to other companies in our area. Ryan did a great job explaining all of the systems and the process. Jacob, Kyle, and Michael did a great job with the installation.”
