Drain Cleaning

Expert drain clearing for every type of clog. Our technicians diagnose the blockage location and severity, then use the most effective cleaning method to restore full drainage flow.

Sewer Line Replacement

Full sewer lateral replacement using traditional excavation or trenchless pipe bursting. We remove old clay, cast iron, or Orangeburg pipe and install modern materials designed to last 50+ years.

Commercial Drain Cleaning

Professional drain maintenance for commercial properties of all sizes. From restaurant grease lines to warehouse floor drains, we keep your business draining properly with scheduled and emergency service.

Sewer line relining seals cracks, closes root entry points, and restores flow capacity without excavation. We pull a resin-coated liner through your existing pipe and cure it in place for a permanent fix.

Advanced video camera inspection of your sewer and drain lines. Real-time footage identifies problems, pinpoints locations, and helps us recommend the most cost-effective solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about sewer or drain service in Portland? We have answers.

What causes recurring drain clogs in Portland homes?

Recurring clogs in Portland 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.

What is trenchless sewer repair and is it available in Portland?

Trenchless sewer repair uses pipe lining or pipe bursting technology to fix damaged sewer lines without digging up your yard, driveway, or landscaping. It is faster, less disruptive, and often costs less than traditional excavation. Our Portland crews perform trenchless repairs when site conditions allow — saving you time, money, and landscaping restoration costs.

How do you diagnose sewer problems in Portland 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 Portland property without any excavation.

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

Yes. Our Portland, OR 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.

What are signs I need sewer line repair in Portland?

Common warning signs for Portland 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 offer preventive sewer maintenance in Portland, OR?

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