Drain Cleaning in Memphis, TN

Memphis drains are a history lesson: midtown cast iron a century old, clay joints under the oldest streets, root intrusion everywhere mature trees meet aging lines. We clear the blockage first, camera the line when it's a repeat offender, and show you the footage before anyone talks about bigger fixes. Honest work in a city with plenty of the other kind.

Old lines and mature trees make Memphis a root-intrusion city. We clear the clog, camera the repeat offenders, and show you the footage before talking about anything bigger.

Memphis is the busiest city on our map by a wide margin — more than 700 homes served, on top of a heavy commercial book. The north side, off Highway 51, is closer to our Brighton shop than several towns people assume are nearer to us.

Memphis housing covers a century, and the plumbing tells you the decade: cast-iron stacks and galvanized supply in the oldest neighborhoods, slab-era copper in the mid-century ranches, PEX in anything recent. Add mature trees standing over lines laid in clay, and a summer that runs cooling equipment flat out for four months. There is no single Memphis house, which is why a real diagnosis here is worth more than a price list.

Memphis has a lot of houses with fixtures sitting below the level of the street sewer — basement baths, floor drains, laundry in a below-grade room. Those are the first things a blocked or surcharged main pushes into, and clearing the line does nothing to stop it happening again. Where the layout warrants it, a backwater valve is the fix that actually ends the pattern.
