At KBI Sewer & Drain, we specialize in professional sewer and drain repair services for residential and commercial properties. Our experienced team uses proven diagnostic and cleaning methods, including sewer camera inspections and hydro jetting, to help identify the source of the problem and determine the appropriate solution.
Whether you’re dealing with a recurring blockage, tree root intrusion, damaged pipe, or a more serious sewer line problem, KBI Sewer & Drain provides dependable solutions designed to restore proper flow and protect your property.
Why Sewer & Drain Repair Matters
Your sewer and drain system works behind the scenes to carry wastewater safely away from your home or business. When something goes wrong, the warning signs can range from a single slow drain to a serious sewer backup.
Common signs of a sewer or drain problem include:
- Sewage backing up into toilets, sinks, tubs, or floor drains
- Slow or gurgling drains throughout the property
- Persistent sewer odors inside or outside the building
- Wet, sunken, or unusually lush areas of the yard
- Recurring drain or main sewer line clogs
- Water or sewage appearing around basement floor drains
These symptoms can indicate problems such as tree root intrusion, heavy buildup, cracked or deteriorated pipe, shifting sewer lines, or a partial or complete blockage. A sewer camera inspection can often help determine what is happening inside the line before the appropriate cleaning or repair method is recommended.
Delaying a significant sewer or drain problem can contribute to:
- Recurring sewage backups
- Basement flooding and water damage
- Damage to surrounding building materials
- Unsanitary conditions inside the property
- More extensive sewer line repairs if deterioration continues
Addressing the warning signs early gives KBI Sewer & Drain an opportunity to identify the cause and recommend the appropriate next step before the problem becomes more disruptive.
Our Comprehensive Sewer & Drain Repair Services
At KBI Sewer & Drain, we provide sewer and drain repair services based on the specific condition of your system. Identifying what is actually happening inside the line helps us determine whether the problem can be resolved through cleaning or requires a more extensive repair.
Accurate Diagnostics with Sewer Camera Inspections
When the cause of a sewer or drain problem is not immediately clear, a sewer camera inspection can provide a closer look inside the line. Specialized camera equipment allows our technicians to visually inspect accessible portions of the sewer line and identify conditions that may be contributing to recurring clogs, backups, or drainage problems.
A sewer camera inspection can help identify:
- Blockages and heavy buildup
- Tree root intrusion
- Cracked or damaged pipe
- Collapsed sections of sewer line
- Misaligned or separated pipe joints
- Signs of pipe deterioration
Seeing the condition of the line helps reduce guesswork and allows KBI Sewer & Drain to recommend the appropriate next step based on the problem we find.

Hydro Jetting for Deep, Thorough Cleaning
Even after a blockage is cleared, grease, sludge, mineral deposits, and other buildup can remain along the interior walls of a drain or sewer line. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clean the inside of the line and remove stubborn buildup that can contribute to recurring drainage problems.
Hydro jetting can be an effective option for:
- Grease and sludge buildup in drain lines
- Mineral deposits and accumulated debris
- Persistent slow drains
- Sewer or drain lines with recurring clogs
Depending on the condition of the line and the type of blockage, KBI Sewer & Drain may recommend hydro jetting when a more thorough cleaning is needed. The appropriate cleaning method depends on what is causing the problem and the condition of the pipe.

Power Rodding for Tough Blockages
Some stubborn drain and sewer blockages require more mechanical cleaning power than basic drain-clearing methods can provide. That’s where power rodding can help. Using professional power rodding equipment and specialized cutting attachments, KBI Sewer & Drain can break through and remove tough obstructions from drain and sewer lines.
Power rodding can be effective for problems such as:
- Tree roots intruding into sewer lines
- Hard or compacted debris
- Heavy drain and sewer line blockages
- Recurring clogs that have not been resolved by basic drain cleaning
Depending on the condition of the line and the cause of the blockage, power rodding may be used on its own or alongside sewer camera inspection or hydro jetting to help restore proper flow.

Traditional Sewer Line Repair
When a sewer line is severely damaged, collapsed, or otherwise cannot be effectively restored through cleaning or less invasive methods, traditional sewer line repair may be necessary. KBI Sewer & Drain can excavate the affected area to access and repair or replace damaged sections of sewer pipe.
Our goal is to accurately locate the problem, limit excavation to the area necessary for the repair, and complete the work as efficiently as possible while minimizing disruption to your property.
Signs You Need Sewer or Drain Repair
Knowing the warning signs of sewer and drain problems can help you address an issue before it develops into a more disruptive backup or repair.
Common Warning Signs Include:
- Slow drains throughout the home or business
- Multiple drains backing up at the same time
- Foul sewer odors coming from drains or areas of the yard
- Water pooling or soggy ground along the path of a sewer line
- Gurgling sounds coming from drains or toilets
- Sewage backing up into tubs, showers, toilets, or floor drains
- Recurring clogs that return after the line has been cleared
If you notice one or more of these warning signs, contact KBI Sewer & Drain. We can help determine whether the problem requires drain or sewer cleaning, a camera inspection, or sewer and drain repair.
