Our Sewer & Drain Services in Knoxville

Our licensed Tennessee crews provide a complete range of sewer and drain services for Knoxville homeowners and businesses.

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.

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.

Sewer Line Cleaning

Thorough sewer line cleaning to remove grease, sludge, roots, and mineral deposits. We use hydro jetting and mechanical cleaning to restore full flow to your main sewer line.

Clogged Drain Repair

Stubborn drain clogs require professional tools and expertise. We identify the clog location and composition, clear it completely, and recommend prevention strategies to keep your drains flowing.

Sewer Line Relining

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.

Sewer Line Installation

New sewer line installation for additions, new construction, and properties connecting to municipal sewer for the first time. Proper grade, materials, and connections for long-term reliability.

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.

Emergency Drain Service

24/7 emergency drain clearing and repair when you cannot wait until morning. Our crews carry everything needed to clear blockages, stop overflows, and restore drainage immediately.

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.

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.

Sewer Camera Inspection

Non-invasive sewer camera diagnostics using waterproof HD cameras. We record footage, mark problem locations, and provide you with a detailed report of findings and repair options.

Grease Trap Cleaning

Scheduled grease trap cleaning and emergency service for restaurants and food service operations. We pump, clean, and inspect your grease trap to prevent backups and maintain code compliance.

Drain Snake Service

Commercial drain snaking for residential and commercial properties. Our motorized cable machines clear roots, grease, and debris from drain lines up to 100 feet or more from the access point.

Sewer Cleanout

Sewer cleanout installation gives you easy access to your main sewer line for future maintenance and emergency clearing. We install code-compliant cleanouts at the most strategic locations.

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

Trenchless sewer repair fixes damaged pipes without excavation. We use CIPP lining or pipe bursting to rehabilitate your sewer line while preserving your yard, driveway, and landscaping.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

Yes. Our Knoxville, TN 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.

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

How much does sewer line repair cost in Knoxville, TN?

Sewer line repair costs in Knoxville 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 Knoxville?

Most residential drain cleaning jobs in Knoxville, TN 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.

Can tree roots damage my sewer line in Knoxville?

Absolutely. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer line damage in Knoxville, TN. Roots seek out moisture and can penetrate tiny cracks or joints in sewer pipes, eventually causing blockages and pipe collapse. Our crews remove roots with hydro jetting and can reline pipes to prevent future intrusion.

Do you offer preventive sewer maintenance in Knoxville, TN?

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