Sewer line repair & drain cleaning in Louisville

Clogged drains, sewer backups and broken sewer lines, for homes and businesses. We own the camera and the excavators, so we can find the problem and dig to it.

Signs it’s time to call

One slow sink is usually a local clog. When several drains act up together, the problem is often in the main sewer line.

  • Water drains slowly or stands in the tub
  • More than one drain backs up at the same time
  • Gurgling from a drain or toilet
  • A sewer smell inside the house
  • Water comes up in a floor drain
  • A clog keeps coming back after you clear it

Drain clog or sewer line?

Where the water shows up tells you a lot. Use this to describe it when you call.

Probably one drain

  • Only one sink, tub or toilet is slow
  • Other drains in the house work normally
  • It started after something went down that drain
  • A plunger or a cleared trap helps for a while

Probably the main sewer line

  • Several drains back up at the same time
  • Water comes up in a tub or floor drain when you flush or run the washer
  • Gurgling from drains you are not using
  • The same clog comes back again and again

Either way, call and describe it. If it sounds like the main line, a camera inspection shows the cause before anyone digs.

What we do

Drain cleaning

Clearing clogs in kitchen, bath, laundry and floor drains. The smallest calls, like hair in a tub drain, are welcome too.

Sewer camera inspection

A camera goes down the line so we can see the problem instead of guessing: roots, a sag, a crack or a collapsed section.

Sewer line repair & replacement

Fixing or replacing a damaged section of the line between the house and the street.

Excavation

Parker owns its excavators. When the repair means digging, we do the digging.

Why we put a camera in the line first

A drain that keeps clogging can be a simple build-up or a broken pipe underground. Cleaning it again will not fix a broken pipe. A camera shows which one it is, and where.

You can watch the screen with us. If the line needs repair, you see why before you decide.

Common questions

Who is responsible for the sewer line?

In most cases the line from the house out to the public sewer belongs to the property owner. If you are not sure where your line ends, ask when you call.

Why does my drain keep clogging?

A clog that keeps coming back usually has a cause further down the line: roots, a low spot where water and waste sit, or heavy build-up. Clearing it again only buys time. A camera inspection shows which one it is.

Should I use a chemical drain cleaner?

It can loosen a light clog, but it rarely clears a heavy one, and it sits in the pipe if the drain stays blocked. If you have already poured some in, tell us when you call so we can work safely.

Do you work on restaurant and rental property drains?

Yes. See commercial plumbing and plumbing for property managers.

Can you come at night?

Emergency service is available 24 hours. See emergency plumbing.
