Our Charleston, SC teams know the sewer landscape inside and out.

We use high-definition sewer cameras to see inside your pipes in real time. Accurate diagnosis means the right repair the first time — no guesswork, no unnecessary excavation, no wasted money.
Most calls are answered live and our crews arrive on-site within 60 to 90 minutes. Every hour of delay during a sewer emergency increases damage and health risk, so speed is built into everything we do.
Sewer backups and drain emergencies do not wait for business hours and neither do we. Our emergency crews are on call around the clock to clear blockages and stop backups the moment you call.
Answers to the most frequently asked sewer and drain questions from Charleston property owners.
We provide 24/7 emergency sewer and drain response throughout Charleston and surrounding South Carolina communities. Our crews typically arrive on-site within 60 to 90 minutes of your call. Sewer backups are health hazards that worsen quickly, so rapid response is critical to protecting your property and your family.
We recommend a sewer camera inspection every 2 to 3 years for Charleston properties, or immediately if you notice warning signs like slow drains or sewage odors. Older homes in Charleston with clay or cast iron pipes should be inspected more frequently. Regular inspection catches small problems before they become expensive emergencies.
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 Charleston property without any excavation.
Recurring clogs in Charleston 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.
Absolutely. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer line damage in Charleston, SC. 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.
Yes. Our Charleston, SC 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.
Honest feedback from property owners who trusted Scranton Sewer Authority with their sewer and drain projects.
"Called about a sewage smell in the yard. They ran a camera and found an offset joint letting sewage seep into the soil. They repaired it with a spot repair and the smell is completely gone. Problem identified and solved efficiently."
