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.

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.

Expert drain snake service that reaches deep into your plumbing to clear blockages that plungers and chemical cleaners miss. We use the right size cable and cutter head for your specific pipe.

Sewer Line Repair

From spot repairs to full section replacements, we fix damaged sewer lines efficiently and permanently. Camera-verified diagnostics ensure we repair exactly what needs fixing — nothing more, nothing less.

Sewer Cleanout

Professional cleanout installation and service. A properly placed sewer cleanout saves time and money every time your line needs maintenance, inspection, or emergency clearing.

Hydro Jetting

Industrial-strength hydro jetting for sewer mains, drain lines, and commercial plumbing. High-pressure water cuts through the toughest obstructions and leaves pipe walls clean for maximum flow.

Complete drain cleaning services for residential and commercial properties. From a single slow sink to a whole-house cleaning, we restore every drain to maximum flow.

Sewer Camera Inspection

High-definition sewer camera inspection that shows you exactly what is happening inside your pipes. We locate cracks, roots, offsets, bellies, and blockages without any digging.

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.

Drain Repair

Expert drain pipe repair for cracked, corroded, collapsed, and leaking drain lines. We use camera inspection to locate the damage and the most effective method to repair it permanently.

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 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.

Around-the-clock emergency drain service for overflowing drains, sewage backups, and flooding. We respond fast with professional equipment to stop the emergency and protect your property.

Sewer Backup

Sewer backup emergencies require immediate action. We dispatch crews fast to stop the overflow, clear the line, and restore sanitary conditions — then find and fix the root cause.

Trenchless Sewer Repair

Minimally invasive trenchless technology repairs cracked, root-damaged, and deteriorating sewer lines from the inside. No trenching, no landscaping destruction, no lengthy restoration projects.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about sewer and drain services in Burlington, VT.

Does homeowners insurance cover sewer line repair in Burlington, VT?

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

What is hydro jetting and when is it needed in Burlington?

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water — up to 4,000 PSI — to scour pipe walls clean, removing grease, scale, tree roots, and mineral deposits. It is recommended for Burlington properties with recurring clogs, heavy grease buildup, or sewer lines blocked by roots. It is the most effective way to restore full flow to your pipes.

How do you diagnose sewer problems in Burlington without digging?

We use a specialized waterproof camera that is inserted into your sewer line through a cleanout. The camera transmits real-time video that shows us the exact location and nature of any blockage, crack, offset joint, or root intrusion. This lets us recommend the most cost-effective repair for your Burlington property without any excavation.

What causes recurring drain clogs in Burlington homes?

Recurring clogs in Burlington 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.

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

We provide 24/7 emergency sewer and drain response throughout Burlington and surrounding Vermont 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.

Do you offer preventive sewer maintenance in Burlington, VT?

Yes. Scranton Sewer Authority offers preventive sewer and drain maintenance programs for Burlington 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.
