Camera inspection
We run a sewer camera down the line before and after cleaning. You see the blockage, the pipe condition, and the clean result. The footage is saved and emailed to you. This is included on every job, not an add-on.

About this service
What sewer cleaning Greer SC actually involves
Sewer cleaning Greer SC is the process of removing blockages, grease, roots, and scale from the main line that carries waste from your building to the municipal sewer. We start by finding the cleanout, then run a sewer camera to see what is blocking the pipe. From there we choose the right tool: a drain snake or rooter machine for solid clogs, a hydro jetting machine for grease and sludge, or a root cutting chain for intruding roots. After clearing, we flush the line and verify flow with the camera again.
Greer homes and businesses call us because the same problems show up again and again. Older cast iron pipe in Downtown Greer and Greer Station cracks and snags waste. Tree roots in Blue Ridge and Brushy Creek find their way into joints. Restaurants along South Main deal with grease buildup that hardens like concrete. If you have a slow drain, a sewer backup, or drain odor in the basement, that is usually the main line talking. We offer 24/7 sewer unclogging Greer SC, so you are not waiting until Monday.

What's included
What our sewer cleaning service includes
Every sewer cleaning call includes the basics: access, camera inspection, blockage removal, flush, and a written summary. Here is what is covered in a standard visit, and what we quote separately if your line needs repair.
Blockage removal
We clear roots, grease, scale, and solid debris using the right tool for the blockage. That may be a drain auger, a rooter machine, or a hydro jetting machine. We do not stop until water flows freely to the street.
Line flush and verify
After clearing, we flush the line with water and re-camera it. This confirms the pipe is clean and shows any remaining damage. You get a verbal summary on site and a written report by email.
Cleanout cap and cleanup
We reseal the cleanout with a proper cap and pipe sealant, then rinse the work area. No sewage left on your floor, no tools left behind. If the cleanout was buried, we mark it so the next visit is faster.
Maintenance recommendation
If we find root intrusion, bellied pipe, or heavy scale, we tell you what it means and how soon it needs attention. For recurring issues, we outline a drain line maintenance plan with jetting intervals based on your pipe material.
How it works
Our sewer cleaning process, step by step
We ask what is backing up, where, and when it started. A toilet and tub backing up together points to the main line. Just one fixture points to a branch drain. That five-minute call tells us which truck and which tools to send, so we do not waste your time.
The technician finds your cleanout, usually near the foundation or at the property line. If the cleanout is buried or missing, we dig it up or pull a toilet to access the line. This step takes 15 to 30 minutes on most Greer homes.
Before any cutting or jetting, we run a sewer camera on an inspection crawler down the line. You watch the monitor with us. We mark the distance to the blockage, note any bellied pipe or collapsed sewer line, and check for root intrusion at the joints.
For roots and solid clogs we run a drain auger or rooter machine with an auger cable. For grease, sludge, and scale buildup we switch to a hydro jetting machine pushing 3,000 to 4,000 PSI. Most lines clear in 45 to 90 minutes. We flush and re-camera to confirm.
We rinse the work area, cap the cleanout, and show you the after footage. You get a written summary of what we found, what we cleared, and what to watch for. If the pipe is damaged, we tell you straight and give you repair options.

Real results
Before and after.
Sewer Cleaning
Root-choked main line in Blue Ridge
A homeowner in Blue Ridge had sewage backing into the laundry room every time the washing machine drained. Camera footage showed a root mass at 32 feet, filling about 70 percent of the 4-inch cast iron pipe.
After: We cut the roots with a root cutting chain, jetted the line at 3,500 PSI, and re-cameraed. The pipe was clear to the street. The backup stopped immediately, and the homeowner scheduled annual root maintenance.

Sewer Cleaning
Grease-blocked restaurant line on South Main
A South Main restaurant had a kitchen drain that drained slower every week. Camera showed a grease cap reducing the 3-inch line to about 1 inch. The grease trap was full and the baffles were coated.
After: We hydro jetted the line at 4,000 PSI, pumped the grease trap, and cleaned the baffles. Flow returned to full capacity. The restaurant passed its health inspection the following week.

Sewer Cleaning
Collapsed clay lateral in Downtown Greer
A Downtown Greer home had repeated backups at the cleanout. Camera showed a collapsed sewer line section at 18 feet, with clay tile broken and offset. The homeowner had already paid for two snaking visits that did not last.
After: We cleared what we could, documented the collapse on camera, and quoted a spot repair. After repair, we jetted the new section and cameraed the full run. The line has been clear for over a year.

Sewer problems we solve in Greer
Most sewer calls fall into a handful of categories. Here is what we see most in Greer and how we fix it.
Ask a pro →Sewage backing up into tubs and floor drains
We locate the cleanout, camera the line, and clear the blockage with a rooter machine or hydro jetter. Most backups clear in under two hours. We flush and re-camera to confirm flow, then reseal the cleanout.
Slow drains throughout the house
We camera the main line to find the restriction, then jet the pipe walls clean. Hydro jetting removes the grease and scale that snaking leaves behind. You get a camera-verified clear line and a report on pipe condition.
Recurring root intrusion at the same spot
We cut roots with a root cutting chain, jet the cuttings out, and mark the intrusion point on camera. For repeat offenders, we set up annual root removal and jetting. If the pipe is cracked, we quote repair before it collapses.
Grease buildup in restaurant lines
We hydro jet the line at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI, pump the grease trap, and clean the grease trap baffles. For busy kitchens, we schedule quarterly or monthly service so the line never reaches the point of backup.
Transparent pricing
Sewer cleaning pricing in Greer
$180 - $850 depending on scope
Typical 2026 pricing for residential sewer cleaning in Greer runs $180 to $450. That range covers access, camera inspection, blockage removal, flush, and cleanup. Root removal or heavy grease often lands at the higher end. Commercial lines and long runs are quoted separately. We give you a flat price before we start, and we do not add fees for nights or weekends. If the line needs repair, we quote that separately so you can decide.
You get a camera inspection, the right tool for the blockage, and a written report on every job. That proof is what keeps a $250 cleaning from turning into a $6,000 excavation because nobody checked the pipe.
•affects cost
If the cleanout is buried, missing, or behind a finished wall, we spend extra time digging or pulling a fixture. That adds labor. A clear, accessible cleanout keeps the price at the low end.

A simple grease clog clears fast. Root intrusion takes longer because we cut, jet, and re-camera. A collapsed sewer line or bellied pipe may need repair, which is quoted separately.

PVC pipe and ABS pipe handle high-pressure jetting well. Cast iron pipe and clay tile need lower pressure and more care. We adjust the method to protect the pipe, which can add time.

A 30-foot residential lateral is a different job than a 120-foot commercial run. Distance from the cleanout to the blockage drives how much cable or hose we run and how long the job takes.

Customer reviews
What Greer customers say
★★★★★
“Sewage backed up into our shower on a Sunday night. Drain Cleaning Pros answered the phone, had a tech at the house in about an hour, and he ran a camera before doing anything. Turned out to be roots at the cleanout. He cut them out, jetted the line, and showed us the after video. Flat price, no surprises.”

“We run a busy kitchen and our grease line was backing up every few weeks. Their crew jetted the line and pumped the grease trap. They also set us up on a quarterly schedule. We have not had a backup since, and the health inspector was happy with the trap records.”

“I manage four rentals in Blue Ridge and all of them have old cast iron. Drain Cleaning Pros has cleared three main line clogs for me this year. They camera every line, tell me which ones need repair, and never upsell. The written report after each job is what keeps me calling them.”

✓ VerifiedMost residential sewer cleaning jobs in Greer run $180 to $450 in 2026, depending on access and blockage type. Root removal or heavy grease often pushes toward the higher end. Commercial lines and long runs cost more. We give you a flat price before we start, and camera inspection is included in that number.
Root intrusion, grease buildup, and aging cast iron pipe cause most backups here. Greer's mature trees send roots into clay and cast iron joints. Restaurants and older homes add grease and scale. Storm drain blockage and bellied pipe also show up. A camera inspection tells you exactly which one you are dealing with.
Yes. We answer the phone 24/7 and dispatch emergency crews across Greer and Greenville County. Most emergency calls get a technician on site within 90 minutes. We carry sewer jetters and root cutters on every truck, so we clear the line on the first visit whenever the pipe is not collapsed.
Most homes need sewer cleaning every 18 to 24 months if you have mature trees over the line. Restaurants should schedule grease trap and line cleaning every 1 to 3 months. If you have cast iron pipe or a known root issue, annual preventive drain maintenance is the cheapest way to avoid a 2 a.m. backup.
