How Our Process Works

Drain Services

Drain Cleaning

Drain cleaning and clog removal focus on restoring proper flow in the smaller fixture drains inside your home—such as sinks, tubs, showers, and toilets. A simple clog removal clears a single blocked fixture, while drain cleaning provides a deeper service to remove buildup and prevent recurring problems.

Our plumbers use professional tools to safely unclog drains, clean pipe walls, and keep your plumbing system flowing. By tackling clogs early, we can also reduce the risk of future backups and costly repairs.

Drain Cleaning & Unclogging Services Include:

  • Clog Removal for fast relief at sinks, tubs, showers, or toilets
  • Snaking and Augering to break up and clear stubborn blockages
  • Hydro Jetting to flush grease, soap, and debris from pipe walls

Drain Line Cleaning

Drain line cleaning focuses on the larger pipes in your home’s drain, waste, and vent (DWV) system. These lines connect multiple fixtures—such as sinks, tubs, and toilets—before carrying wastewater to the main sewer line. When a drain line is clogged, you’ll often notice multiple fixtures draining slowly or backing up at the same time.

Our plumbers use advanced tools and methods to safely clear these blockages, restore flow, and protect your home from wastewater damage.

Drain Line Services Include:

  • Snaking and Hydro Jetting to clear larger interior blockages
  • Root Removal when tree roots invade and block the DWV system
  • Video Inspections to locate and diagnose problems in drain lines

Service

What It Targets

Common Signs

Typical Solution

Drain Cleaning

Individual fixture drains (sinks, tubs, showers)

One sink, tub, or shower is draining slowly; localized clog

Snaking, augering, or unclogging methods

Drain Line Cleaning

Larger drain lines that connect multiple fixtures

Multiple drains are slow or backing up at once; gurgling in toilets or tubs

Hydro jetting, root removal, and video inspection

Drain Line Repair

Drain line repair refers to fixing a section of your home’s drain, waste, and vent (DWV) system. This includes the PVC, cast iron, or under-sink pipes that carry wastewater away from fixtures and into the larger plumbing system.

When part of a drain line is leaking or damaged, our plumbers cut out the failing section and replace it with new piping. This process stops leaks, protects your property, and restores safe, reliable flow in your home.

Sewer Line Services

Sewer Line Cleaning

Your home’s sewer line is the large underground pipe that carries wastewater from your home to the city system. When this line becomes clogged with grease, roots, or debris, it can cause backups throughout your entire home and even create wet spots or sinkholes in your yard.

By cleaning your main sewer line before damage worsens, you can prevent costly repairs, protect your property, and keep your plumbing system flowing without disruption.

Our Sewer Line Cleaning Methods Include:

  • Hydro Jetting to blast away grease and debris
  • Snaking to break up tough blockages
  • Video Inspection to confirm the line is clear

Sewer Line Repair and Replacement

A damaged sewer line can cause sewage backups, foul odors, and property damage. Our team offers sewer line locating along with both general and video inspections to accurately diagnose issues like cracks, root intrusion, or failing cast iron pipes.

When repairs are needed, we use trench-style excavation to access the main sewer line, remove the broken section, and install new piping. In cases where the line is too deteriorated for repair, we provide full sewer line replacement to ensure lasting performance.

Related Water Line Services

Alongside our sewer and drain expertise, Logan Services also provides reliable water line repair and replacement. Water lines are just as critical to your home as sewer lines, carrying clean water from the city connection into your home and distributing it to every fixture.

Our Water Line Services Include:

  • In-Home Water Line Repair and Replacement – These are the ½–¾ inch lines inside your home that deliver water to sinks, tubs, showers, toilets, and appliances. Over time, they may leak, corrode, or break. We repair damaged sections or replace the entire line to restore safe, consistent water flow.
  • Service Line Replacement – This is the main underground water pipe that connects your home to the city’s supply. If this line cracks, leaks, or fails, we use trench-style excavation to replace it with new piping. This ensures your home has a safe, reliable water supply.

Our Excavation Process

At Logan Services, all sewer line repairs and replacements are performed using trench-style excavation. This process allows us to access the damaged section of pipe directly, remove it, and install new piping for a long-term solution.

Several important steps must be taken before digging begins:

Steps in the Excavation Process:

  • Permits – We secure the required permits to meet local code and inspection requirements.
  • Utility Markings – By law, we must call 8-1-1 (“Call Before You Dig”) to have underground utilities located and marked. This process typically takes up to 48 hours from the time the request is submitted.
  • Inspector Coordination – We work with city or municipal inspectors to ensure all work is compliant and approved.

 

Because of these requirements, excavation work usually begins two or more days after the initial visit at the earliest. Every home is different, but these safeguards ensure your project is done safely, legally, and to the highest professional standards.

Sewer Line Inspections

We provide both general sewer inspections and advanced video inspections to assess the condition of your line. A flexible camera gives a 360-degree view inside your sewer line, allowing us to identify cracks, root intrusion, grease buildup, or collapsed sections without unnecessary digging.

Video inspections take the guesswork out of sewer line repair, helping our team recommend the right solution while minimizing disruption to your property. These inspections are the best way to protect your main sewer line before a minor issue becomes a major failure.

Re-Piping (Full System Replacement)

When repairs are no longer enough, a plumbing re-pipe may be the best solution. This involves replacing all or most of your home’s piping with new materials.

Logan Services Provides:

  • Drain, Waste, and Vent (DWV) Re-Pipes
  • Water Line Re-Pipes
  • Yard Drain Re-Pipes

 

Re-piping is especially common in older homes with cast iron systems that corrode, crack, or leak. By replacing the full system, you improve reliability, safety, and performance while reducing the risk of recurring problems.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sewer and Drain Services

Do You Offer Trenchless Sewer Repairs Like Pipe Lining or Bursting?

No. Logan Services uses only trench-style excavation for sewer repair and replacement. While trenchless methods may sound less invasive, they can sometimes leave existing pipe issues unresolved. With trenching, we can directly access the damaged section of pipe, fully remove it, and install new piping. This ensures a more durable and long-term solution for your home’s sewer line.

Sewer line excavation requires permits, utility markings, and inspector coordination before work can begin. By law, all underground utilities must be marked through 8-1-1 “Call Before You Dig,” which typically takes up to 48 hours. Because of these requirements, excavation usually starts about two days after the initial visit at the earliest. These steps protect your property, ensure safety, and guarantee compliance with local regulations.

A drain line repair involves cutting out and replacing a leaking or broken section of drain pipe inside your home. This might be PVC, cast iron, or another pipe material behind a wall, under a sink, or in the basement. A clogged drain repair, on the other hand, does not require pipe replacement—it’s focused on clearing blockages like grease, hair, or debris so water can flow freely again.

A re-pipe is when all or part of your home’s plumbing system is replaced with new piping. This is often recommended for older homes with corroded cast iron or outdated materials that frequently leak or clog. Logan Services provides drain, waste, and vent re-pipes inside the home, water line re-pipes, and even yard drain re-pipes. Re-piping ensures your plumbing system runs more efficiently, safely, and with fewer future repairs.

The main sewer line is the largest pipe in your home’s plumbing system. All branch drain lines—from sinks, tubs, showers, and toilets—connect here. From there, wastewater travels out of your home and into the city’s underground sewer system. These pipes are typically 3–6 inches in diameter and can be buried 6–10 feet underground. Damage to the main sewer line often causes multiple drains in your home to back up at once.

Yes. Main line cleaning and sewer line cleaning both refer to clearing blockages in the underground sewer line that connects your home to the city system. When this pipe is clogged, it affects every drain in your home. Drain cleaning, by contrast, usually refers to smaller, above-ground pipes connected to individual fixtures like sinks or showers.

  • One Fixture Clogged: Likely needs drain cleaning.
  • Multiple Fixtures Backed Up: Often requires main line cleaning.
  • Whole-Home Backups or Yard Issues: Typically a sewer line cleaning or repair issue.
  • Recurring Leaks or Old Cast Iron: May call for a full re-pipe.

A video inspection gives a 360-degree view inside your pipes, revealing cracks, corrosion, grease buildup, root intrusion, and collapsed lines. This prevents guesswork, reduces digging, and ensures the right repair is chosen.

Routine drain maintenance keeps your plumbing system flowing, reduces the risk of costly repairs, and minimizes emergency backups. Scheduling maintenance helps extend the life of your pipes and prevents avoidable stress.

Common warning signs include:

  • Multiple drains are clogging at once
  • Gurgling sounds from toilets or tubs
  • Sewage odors in the home or yard
  • Patches of wet soil or sinkholes in the yard
  • Frequent or recurring clogs despite cleaning

Yes. Logan Services provides emergency drain cleaning and repair to quickly restore flow and prevent damage to your property. Call us anytime at (800) 564-2611 for fast service.
