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. Logan Services offers scheduled inspections and maintenance to monitor the condition of your sewer lateral and clean it before a clog forms. Preventive sewer drain cleaning reduces the risk of emergency excavation and keeps your system flowing.

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.
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.

“We had a new furnace, air conditioner, and hot water heater installed. Our home has never been so comfortable. Tyler, Noah, and Max did a wonderful job installing our furnace and air-conditioning unit. Conner installed our hot water heater and was very professional and did a great job. The crew from Logan Services was very respectful and professional. I would highly recommend Logan Services to any of my family and friends.
Thank you to Tyler, Noah, Max, and Conner for all the hard work you did for me and my family.”
“Great service and a great product! Highly recommend! Kyle and Hakim were very friendly and professional!”
“From start to finish, I’m very happy with the entire process and the product.
First, the phone call to Logan Services. The woman who answered the phone was very nice and friendly. Right away, I felt this was a family business (which I like). She took my information and explained the process. She made a GREAT first impression, which is also very important.
Second, the next day, their salesperson, James, came to the house on time. He was actually a bit early, but called first to make sure that was ok. He was the last of the three companies that I obtained quotes from, and I think he was the right balance between technical and explaining things easily. Friendly, sensed he had a vested interest in helping us, whether we went with his company or not. He was a bit higher than a competitor, and I asked him if he could do anything, but he said he put his best foot forward, and I actually respect that. In some regards, I respect that more than if he dropped a few bucks. Within five minutes of him leaving, we felt comfortable with Logan Services and Trane, and I was able to catch him in his car before he pulled away. That was around 4 pm on a Friday afternoon.
On Tuesday, the two installers, Kyle and Jarrett, arrived on time. Very polite, they looked things over, they put pads/rugs down from my door, all the way down the stairs to the basement, and into the unfinished area. I was surprised at the lack of noise; I was expecting it to be louder. They knew I was dreading the day, as it was going to be 95 degrees out and I was working from my home office, which was right next to the front door, and had turned down the AC before they shut everything down. Every single time they went in and out, they closed the door behind them, so that the house would remain as cool as possible. Between that and the lack of noise they made, it made working from home easy and productive for me. When they were done, they showed us how to set up and operate the new thermostat (which is much more sophisticated than a Nest), showed us the furnace and chiller in the basement, and the work they did, as well as the unit outside. When they left and we walked around the house, it was as if they were never there. No garbage at all from the install, not even a piece of paper.
We are really happy with how things went, from the first call through to the completion of the install. While only running a few hours now, it is much quieter than what we had previously, and I’m looking forward to seeing the savings via lower electric bills, as well as greatly reducing the temperature difference between the first and second floors.
I would highly recommend Logan Services to anyone seeking a new, quality AC/Furnace.”
“Fast and professional service technicians that I would highly recommend to anyone needing any heating, air, or plumbing services! I give Logan Services a 5-star recommendation!”
“Got a new Trane furnace and air conditioning installed by Griffin and Brandon. They did an excellent job. I highly recommend Logan Services!”
“Lachlan and Craig were great!! They got here on time, were professional/polite, and answered any questions I had.“
