Why Choose Our Sewer Team

When you invite someone to work on your sewer line, you want to be sure they know what they are doing and that they will treat your property with care. We have built our plumbing and sewer services around that kind of trust. Our company has grown to more than 190 employees and over 140 service vehicles, which helps us respond quickly when a sewer problem cannot wait.

Our A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, maintained since 1987, reflects decades of accountability to customers across Central and South Central Ohio. If there is a concern, we work to address it. This long track record is one reason many families and businesses continue to turn to us for repeat service.

Technical training is also critical when it comes to sewer line work. Our technicians hold NATE and EPA certifications, and many have completed advanced safety courses such as OSHA30, OSHA10, Aerial and Scissor Lift, and Confined Space certifications. These credentials matter when we are working around confined spaces, heavy equipment, and buried lines, and they support our goal of safe, thorough sewer service every time.

We are a faith-based, family-owned company that strives to honor God in how we treat customers and employees. For you, that means we focus on honest communication, clear explanations, and recommendations that are based on what your system actually needs. Our leadership team has guided the company for decades, and that stability is reflected in the way we handle each service call.

Sewer Cleaning & Sewer Cleanout

Many people are unsure what is happening when toilets gurgle, drains back up on lower levels, or several fixtures slow down at the same time. In many cases, the main sewer line is partially or fully blocked. Professional sewer cleaning uses equipment designed to break up and flush out clogs, grease buildup, and tree roots so wastewater can move freely again.

A sewer cleanout is an access point to that main line. It is usually a capped pipe that comes up to the surface either inside or outside the building. When a cleanout is available, our plumbers can reach the main line more directly. This often means faster work, less disruption, and reduced need to remove fixtures or cut into building materials to gain access.

Properties in and around Columbus can be affected by tree roots, older clay or cast iron piping, and heavy rain that stresses aging lines. These conditions can make blockages more likely. Our team is familiar with these patterns, and we take them into account when deciding how to approach each sewer cleanout and cleaning visit.

You might need sewer line service if you notice issues such as multiple drains running slowly, foul odors near floor drains, or water appearing at a basement shower or floor drain when other fixtures are used. Our goal is to locate the source of the problem, explain what we find, and talk through options before we move ahead with any additional work.

What To Do During A Backup

If you are dealing with an active backup, it can feel urgent and overwhelming. Taking a few careful steps can limit damage and help our plumbers restore service more efficiently. Safety and protecting your property come first.

Here are practical steps to take while you wait for sewer service:

Stop using water in the building, including toilets, showers, dishwashers, and washing machines.
Keep people and pets away from areas where sewage is present to reduce health risks.
Unplug or move items from the floor near the affected area if you can do so safely.
Avoid using chemical drain cleaners, which can sit in the line and create hazards for you and our technicians.
Call our team, describe what you are seeing, and ask whether the situation should be treated as an urgent sewer problem.

Some backups are minor and clear once the line is cleaned. Others can be a sign of more serious damage. When you call us, we ask questions to understand how long the problem has been occurring, which fixtures are affected, and whether you have had similar issues in the past. This helps us prepare for your visit and choose an approach that is more likely to resolve the issue efficiently.

Our service fleet and staffing levels give us the ability to handle many urgent calls the same day. While exact timing depends on call volume and location, our team works to communicate realistic arrival windows and keep you updated.

Our Sewer Service Process

Knowing what will happen when a plumber arrives can reduce stress and make it easier to prepare your home or business. Our team follows a structured approach that focuses on safety, clear communication, and respect for your property. We adjust specific steps based on your building layout, sewer line design, and where the problem appears to be located.

We start by listening. Your description of the issue, when it started, and what you have already tried often provides valuable clues. Our plumber then identifies the best access point to your main sewer line. When a properly placed cleanout is available, we typically use that first because it can reduce disruption inside the building. In some cases we may access the line through a toilet or other fixture if a cleanout is not present or is not usable.

Once we have access, we select equipment suitable for your line size and material. Our goal is to clear the blockage and restore flow while keeping stress on the piping within reasonable limits. In some situations, such as heavy root intrusion or suspected line damage, we may recommend additional evaluation. This can include further investigation to understand whether the problem is likely to return quickly without more extensive repair.

Throughout the visit, our plumbers work to protect floors and work areas with appropriate coverings. We follow safety protocols that align with our OSHA and confined space training, which is particularly important when working around basements, crawlspaces, and outdoor access points. After the work is complete, we review what was done, discuss any signs of underlying issues we observed, and answer your questions about future maintenance.

Accurate Heating, Cooling & Plumbing serves homes and businesses throughout the Columbus area, and our work on residential, commercial, and federal projects has helped us refine our processes. Whether you manage a small office, a retail space, or a busy household, we understand that downtime is costly. Our goal is to restore safe, reliable drainage and provide guidance on how to reduce the likelihood of another sewer event.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need sewer line service?

You likely need sewer line service when more than one drain backs up or runs slowly at the same time, or when you see sewage at a low drain while using other fixtures. If problems come back after basic drain clearing, our team can evaluate whether the main line is involved.

Will sewer cleaning damage my pipes or yard?

When performed correctly, sewer cleaning is designed to clear the line without damaging it. We select equipment and techniques based on your pipe material and condition. Using existing cleanouts helps us avoid unnecessary digging, and if excavation is ever recommended we discuss options first.

How quickly can your team respond to a backup?

Response time depends on call volume, time of day, and your location. Our large team and service fleet give us the capacity to handle many urgent calls the same day. When you contact us, we provide an estimated arrival window and work to keep you informed if anything changes.

Can you help with both homes and businesses?

Yes, we provide sewer line services for both residential and commercial customers. Our plumbers work on everything from single-family homes to small offices and other light commercial spaces. The experience we have gained across Central and South Central Ohio helps us adapt to different building layouts and sewer designs.

What should I expect during a sewer visit?

During a typical visit, our plumber will ask questions, locate an access point to the main line, and use appropriate equipment to clear the blockage. We protect work areas as we go, follow safety procedures, and review our findings with you before we leave so you know what was done.
