New sewer line installation for additions, new construction, and properties connecting to municipal sewer for the first time. Proper grade, materials, and connections for long-term reliability.

Sewer Camera Inspection

Advanced video camera inspection of your sewer and drain lines. Real-time footage identifies problems, pinpoints locations, and helps us recommend the most cost-effective solution.

Drain Cleaning

Expert drain clearing for every type of clog. Our technicians diagnose the blockage location and severity, then use the most effective cleaning method to restore full drainage flow.

Sewer line relining seals cracks, closes root entry points, and restores flow capacity without excavation. We pull a resin-coated liner through your existing pipe and cure it in place for a permanent fix.

Hydro Jetting

Industrial-strength hydro jetting for sewer mains, drain lines, and commercial plumbing. High-pressure water cuts through the toughest obstructions and leaves pipe walls clean for maximum flow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about sewer or drain service in Urbandale? We have answers.

Does homeowners insurance cover sewer line repair in Urbandale, IA?

Most standard homeowners insurance policies in Urbandale do not cover sewer line repair due to normal wear and aging. However, sudden damage from events like tree root intrusion or ground shifting may be partially covered. Some carriers offer sewer line endorsements. We help Urbandale homeowners understand their coverage and provide documentation for claims that do apply.

How long does a drain cleaning take in Urbandale?

Most residential drain cleaning jobs in Urbandale, IA take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the severity of the clog and the number of drains affected. Main sewer line cleaning may take longer. Our crews arrive with professional-grade snaking equipment and hydro jetting capability to handle any blockage quickly.

Do you handle both residential and commercial drain cleaning in Urbandale?

Yes. Our Urbandale, IA teams are equipped for drain cleaning at any scale — from residential kitchen and bathroom drains to commercial restaurant grease lines, multi-unit buildings, and industrial facilities. We carry equipment rated for pipes from 1.5 inches to 12 inches in diameter.

What is trenchless sewer repair and is it available in Urbandale?

Trenchless sewer repair uses pipe lining or pipe bursting technology to fix damaged sewer lines without digging up your yard, driveway, or landscaping. It is faster, less disruptive, and often costs less than traditional excavation. Our Urbandale crews perform trenchless repairs when site conditions allow — saving you time, money, and landscaping restoration costs.

Can tree roots damage my sewer line in Urbandale?

Absolutely. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer line damage in Urbandale, IA. Roots seek out moisture and can penetrate tiny cracks or joints in sewer pipes, eventually causing blockages and pipe collapse. Our crews remove roots with hydro jetting and can reline pipes to prevent future intrusion.

What causes recurring drain clogs in Urbandale homes?

Recurring clogs in Urbandale homes are usually caused by grease buildup inside drain lines, tree root intrusion into sewer pipes, pipe bellies or offsets that trap debris, or undersized plumbing. A sewer camera inspection identifies the root cause so we can fix the real problem, not just clear the symptom temporarily.
