Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

Yes. Our Athens, PA 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.

Will drain cleaning damage my pipes in Athens?

Professional drain cleaning by trained technicians will not damage your pipes. Our Athens crews select the appropriate equipment for your pipe material and condition — cable machines for tough clogs, hydro jetting for buildup, and gentle methods for older or fragile pipes. We always inspect before cleaning to avoid unnecessary risk.

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

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

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 Athens 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 much does sewer line repair cost in Athens, PA?

Sewer line repair costs in Athens typically range from $1,500 to $5,000 for standard residential repairs and $5,000 to $15,000 or more for full replacements. Factors include pipe material, depth, length of damaged section, and whether trenchless methods can be used. We provide free camera inspections with detailed, written estimates before any work begins.

How long does a drain cleaning take in Athens?

Most residential drain cleaning jobs in Athens, PA take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the severity of the clog and the number of drains affected. Main sewer line cleaning may take longer. Our crews arrive with professional-grade snaking equipment and hydro jetting capability to handle any blockage quickly.

What Our Customers Say

See what our customers have to say about their experience with Scranton Sewer Authority.

★★★★☆

"Good experience overall. They cleared a stubborn clog in our shower drain that two other companies could not fix. Turned out to be a buildup of calcium and soap scum deep in the pipe. Hydro jetting solved it."

— Richard Bauer
★★★★★

"Multiple drains in our old home were slow. The camera showed that the whole main line had grease and mineral buildup. One hydro jetting session and every drain in the house works like new. Amazing results."

— Rita Mahoney
★★★★☆

"They came out the same day I called for a slow drain in the basement. Turned out to be tree roots in the main line. They cleared it with hydro jetting and quoted us on relining. Fair pricing, no pressure."

— David Nowak
