Drain and sewer work covers everything from a slow kitchen sink to a main line backing up into the yard. In North Augusta's mix of older in-town homes and newer subdivisions, that means dealing with aging clay or cast iron laterals on one end and root intrusion into newer PVC lines on the other. The 13 businesses listed in this category handle drain snaking, hydro jetting, camera inspections, sewer line repair, and full line replacement, whether that's a dug-up trench in the yard or a trenchless liner run through the existing pipe.
What the service actually involves
Most calls start with a diagnosis: a plumber runs a cable or camera down the line to find the clog or break before touching anything. From there the job branches. A simple grease or hair clog usually means snaking or jetting. A collapsed or root-choked section further out means either spot repair, a full dig-and-replace, or trenchless pipe bursting/lining if the access and pipe condition allow it. Sewer work also touches septic tank lines and city tap connections, so the right contractor should be comfortable coordinating with the local utility when needed.
What to look for before hiring
Ask whether they run a camera before quoting a repair, not just before billing you for one. Get a written estimate that distinguishes between a temporary clear and an actual fix (roots grow back within a year or two if they're only cut, not treated or lined). Check that they carry the right equipment for your pipe size and material, and ask what warranty applies to both labor and any parts.
