Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most frequently asked sewer and drain questions from Salem property owners.

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

Yes. Our Salem, MI 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 is hydro jetting and when is it needed in Salem?

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 Salem 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.

Does homeowners insurance cover sewer line repair in Salem, MI?

Most standard homeowners insurance policies in Salem do not cover sewer line repair due to normal wear and aging. However, sudden damage from events like tree root intrusion or ground shifting may be partially covered. Some carriers offer sewer line endorsements. We help Salem homeowners understand their coverage and provide documentation for claims that do apply.

Do you offer preventive sewer maintenance in Salem, MI?

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

What causes recurring drain clogs in Salem homes?

Recurring clogs in Salem 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 Salem?

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 Salem crews perform trenchless repairs when site conditions allow — saving you time, money, and landscaping restoration costs.
