What We Do
How We Clear Clogged Sewer Lines
The cause of the blockage determines the right clearing method — we use the right tool every time.
Main Line Sewer Clearing
We run a professional power auger through your main sewer line to break up and remove blockages — grease accumulation, debris, and soft root intrusion. This restores flow to every fixture in the house immediately.
Hydro Jet Sewer Flushing
For heavy grease buildup, compacted debris, or recurring sewer blockages, high-pressure hydro jetting scours the pipe walls clean from the inside — not just punching through the clog but fully removing it.
Camera Inspection After Clearing
We run a camera after clearing to confirm the line is fully open and to identify any structural issues — cracks, root intrusion points, offsets — that caused the blockage and will cause it again if not addressed.
Root Cutting & Removal
Root intrusion is a leading cause of sewer blockages in older O'ahu neighborhoods. We use mechanical root cutters to remove root masses and clear the line, then assess whether lining or repair is needed to seal the entry point.
Cleanout Installation
If your home doesn't have a sewer cleanout access point, clearing the main line requires pulling a toilet or accessing from the roof vent — slower and more expensive. We install cleanouts to make future service faster and cheaper.
Commercial Sewer Clearing
Restaurants, multi-unit buildings, and commercial facilities face more frequent sewer issues due to grease, volume, and aging infrastructure. We clear commercial sewer lines across O'ahu and can set up maintenance programs.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a drain clog and a sewer line clog?
A drain clog affects one fixture — one slow sink, one backed-up toilet. A sewer line clog is in the main line that all your drains feed into, so multiple fixtures back up simultaneously. If more than one drain is affected at the same time, the main line is almost certainly involved.
Can roots really block a sewer line?
Yes — it's one of the most common causes of main line blockages, especially in older O'ahu neighborhoods with mature trees. Roots seek moisture and enter pipe joints and cracks, then grow until they completely block the line. Cutting them clears the immediate blockage, but sealing the entry point prevents regrowth.
How quickly can you respond to a sewer backup?
Sewer backups are treated as emergencies. We aim for same-day response and in most cases can have a crew out within a few hours of your call.
After clearing, how do I prevent it from happening again?
It depends on the cause. For grease buildup, avoid pouring fats and oils down drains and schedule annual hydro jetting. For root intrusion, the entry point needs to be sealed — through pipe lining or repair. We'll tell you exactly what caused your blockage and what the long-term fix is.
