Camera Inspection
We run a camera through your sewer or drain line and watch the video as it goes. That shows the break, the roots, the sag or the offset joint, and where it sits in the yard.
Learn More A drain that backs up stops the house cold. Our drain cleaning service clears clogged drains, toilets, tubs, kitchen lines and main lines. We work across Greenbrier and the north side of the Nashville area. We run cable machines sized to the pipe, with cutter heads that open the line back to full flow.
Most homes outside city sewer here run on a septic system, and that changes what a slow drain means. When every drain in the house slows at once, the problem is often a full septic tank. If the cable finds roots or broken pipe instead, we can send a camera down the line.

The word rooter comes from machines that spin a bladed cable to cut roots out of a sewer pipe. A cable goes in through a cleanout, a toilet flange or a fixture drain. The head turns as it goes and works through whatever is holding the water back.
Cable size matters. A quarter inch cable belongs in a small branch line and will tangle in a 4 inch main. A heavy cable with the right cutter head belongs in the main and will damage a sink trap. We match the machine and the head to the pipe before we start.
Toilets are their own job. Most toilet clogs sit right in the trap built into the bowl, a few inches past the water line. A short auger made for toilets reaches that bend without scratching the china. If the toilet is clear and water still backs up, the problem sits further out.
A clog that comes back has a cause the cable did not remove. Roots are the common one. They find a crack or a loose joint in an older line and push in after the water. Then they grow into a mat that catches everything going past.
Cutting the roots opens the pipe, and they grow back toward the same opening. A line that roots every year is telling you the pipe is broken. A camera run shows the break, and repairing or replacing that section ends the cycle. We do our own excavation, and we bring 20 years of septic and sewer experience to that work.
Grease and wipes are the other repeat causes. The EPA tells septic homeowners never to pour cooking oil or grease down the drain. Grease goes down warm and sets up on the pipe wall as it cools. Wipes carry the same warning, and they do not break apart the way paper does.
On city sewer, a slow drain almost always means a clog. On septic, there is a second thing to check. Everything in the house drains into the tank. If the tank is full or the field is saturated, the water has nowhere to go.
It comes back up the lowest drain in the house first, often a basement or a downstairs tub. The EPA lists slow tubs and sinks, gurgling pipes and backups as signs of a septic problem. When we see those together, we open the lid and look before we run a cable.
Clearing the line on a full tank buys a day at most. Pumping the tank is what fixes it. If the tank was pumped recently and drains are still slow, look at the drain field side. We can also check the pumps, floats and alarms on the same visit.
