Our Sewer & Drain Services in Providence

Our licensed Rhode Island crews provide a complete range of sewer and drain services for Providence homeowners and businesses.

Sewer Line Relining

Cured-in-place pipe lining creates a seamless new pipe inside your existing damaged sewer line. No excavation required — just a smooth, jointless liner that lasts 50+ years.

Grease Trap Cleaning

Complete grease trap maintenance including pumping, scraping, and cleaning. We document service for health department records and recommend optimal cleaning intervals based on your kitchen volume.

Sewer Line Cleaning

Thorough sewer line cleaning to remove grease, sludge, roots, and mineral deposits. We use hydro jetting and mechanical cleaning to restore full flow to your main sewer line.

Clogged Drain Repair

Professional clog removal using drain snakes, augers, and hydro jetting. We clear tough blockages that store-bought cleaners and home remedies cannot touch, then verify clear flow with camera inspection.

Sewer Backup

Emergency sewer backup response to stop sewage overflow, clear the blockage, and clean up affected areas. We respond 24/7 to protect your property and your health.

Hydro Jetting

High-pressure hydro jetting at up to 4,000 PSI scours pipe walls clean of grease, roots, scale, and mineral deposits. The most thorough pipe cleaning method available for residential and commercial lines.

Sewer Camera Inspection

Non-invasive sewer camera diagnostics using waterproof HD cameras. We record footage, mark problem locations, and provide you with a detailed report of findings and repair options.

Sewer Line Installation

Professional sewer lateral installation with proper slope, bedding, and municipal tie-in. We handle permits, excavation, pipe laying, inspection, and site restoration from start to finish.

Sewer Cleanout

We install and service sewer cleanouts to provide direct access to your main drain line. Essential for properties without existing cleanout access, older homes, and properties with recurring issues.

Drain Snake Service

Commercial drain snaking for residential and commercial properties. Our motorized cable machines clear roots, grease, and debris from drain lines up to 100 feet or more from the access point.

Drain Repair

Professional drain repair for all pipe materials including PVC, cast iron, copper, and clay. We fix the problem at its source to stop leaks, prevent backups, and restore proper drainage.

Drain Cleaning

Professional drain cleaning for kitchens, bathrooms, floor drains, and main lines. We clear clogs caused by grease, hair, soap, and debris using cable machines and hydro jetting.

Trenchless Sewer Repair

Trenchless sewer repair fixes damaged pipes without excavation. We use CIPP lining or pipe bursting to rehabilitate your sewer line while preserving your yard, driveway, and landscaping.

Sewer Line Repair

Expert sewer pipe repair using proven techniques for every pipe material. We fix cracked, corroded, and root-damaged sewer lines with minimal property disruption and lasting results.

Emergency Drain Service

24/7 emergency drain clearing and repair when you cannot wait until morning. Our crews carry everything needed to clear blockages, stop overflows, and restore drainage immediately.

Commercial Drain Cleaning

Commercial drain cleaning designed for business operations. We schedule service around your hours, clean every drain in your facility, and maintain records for health and code compliance.

Storm Drain Cleaning

Preventive storm drain cleaning that protects your property from water damage during heavy rainfall. We remove leaves, silt, and debris that block drainage and cause pooling and flooding.

Sewer Line Replacement

Complete sewer line replacement when repair is no longer cost-effective. We install modern PVC or HDPE pipe with proper grade and connections for decades of reliable service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about sewer and drain services in Providence, RI.

How quickly can you respond to a sewer emergency in Providence?

We provide 24/7 emergency sewer and drain response throughout Providence and surrounding Rhode Island communities. Our crews typically arrive on-site within 60 to 90 minutes of your call. Sewer backups are health hazards that worsen quickly, so rapid response is critical to protecting your property and your family.

What are signs I need sewer line repair in Providence?

Common warning signs for Providence homeowners include multiple slow drains, gurgling toilets, sewage odors in the yard or basement, soggy patches in the lawn, and recurring drain backups. If you notice any of these, call us for a sewer camera inspection to diagnose the problem before it becomes a costly emergency.

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

Yes. Our Providence, RI 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.

Does homeowners insurance cover sewer line repair in Providence, RI?

Most standard homeowners insurance policies in Providence 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 Providence homeowners understand their coverage and provide documentation for claims that do apply.

Can tree roots damage my sewer line in Providence?

Absolutely. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer line damage in Providence, RI. 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.

Do you offer preventive sewer maintenance in Providence, RI?

Yes. Scranton Sewer Authority offers preventive sewer and drain maintenance programs for Providence property owners including scheduled line cleaning, annual camera inspections, and grease trap service for commercial kitchens. Preventive maintenance catches developing problems early and extends the life of your sewer system significantly.

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★

"Toilet was overflowing and nothing we tried would fix it. The technician discovered the problem was actually a clog in the main sewer line, not the toilet. He had it cleared in less than an hour. Knowledgeable crew."

— Steven Mitchell
★★★★★

"Multiple drains in our old home were slow. The camera showed that the whole main line had grease and mineral buildup. One hydro jetting session and every drain in the house works like new. Amazing results."

— Rita Mahoney
★★★★★

"The crew installed a new sewer line for our addition. They got the permits, did the excavation, laid the pipe, and passed inspection on the first try. Very professional team."
