Have questions about sewer or drain service in Salem? We have answers.
Absolutely. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer line damage in Salem, IL. 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.
Recurring clogs in Salem 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.
Yes. Our Salem, IL 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.

However, sudden damage from events like tree root intrusion or ground shifting may be partially covered. Some carriers offer sewer line endorsements. We help Salem homeowners understand their coverage and provide documentation for claims that do apply.
Most residential drain cleaning jobs in Salem, IL 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.

Honest feedback from property owners who trusted Scranton Sewer Authority with their sewer and drain projects.
"Our kitchen drain had been slow for weeks. The technician used a camera to find a grease buildup about 30 feet down the line, then hydro jetted the whole thing. Drains faster than it has in years. Great service."
"Outstanding emergency service. Sewer backed up into the basement on Christmas Eve. They had a technician available who cleared the blockage and sanitized the affected area. Above and beyond service."
"We had sewage backing up into our basement and were in a panic. The crew showed up fast, stopped the backup, cleaned everything up, and explained what caused it. They treated our home with respect."
