DRAIN AND SEWER LINE CLEANING

Grease, food, hair, toilet paper, and other items accumulate causing slow or clogged drain and sewer lines. .

Soap scum and minerals can also build up inside your pipes, eventually causing a clog. This is particularly an issue for those areas that have hard water, which contains and excess amount of minerals that will eventually clog pipes

Using High Pressure Hydro Jetting equipment we will clear your drain and sewers lines to almost new condition.

Most services only clear a small portion of the clogged pipe, with our specialized equipment the entire drain line is cleared. Most roots problems in the drain or sewer can be removed instead of having to replace you pipes.

What Do Sewer Cleaning Services Include?

Professional sewer cleaning goes well beyond store-bought drain cleaner. At Jimmy's, the process uses specialized equipment to clear the entire line, not just a small section of it.

Services include:



▸High-pressure hydro jetting to blast grease, hair, soap scum, and debris through up to 300 feet of drain line.

▸Video camera inspection to locate blockages, root intrusion, and pipe damage without tearing up your yard.

▸Drain line locating and marking so you know where lines run before any digging begins.

▸Clearing of sewer mains, septic leach lines, and fixture drains including sinks, toilets, showers, and tubs.


Hydro jetting clears the entire pipe diameter, leaving it as close to new condition as possible. Most other methods only punch a temporary hole through a blockage, so the clog comes back.

Signs You May Need Sewer Cleaning in Swansboro, NC

Catching early warning signs prevents a messy and costly backup. Watch for:


▸Multiple drains running slowly at the same time.

▸Gurgling sounds from toilets or floor drains after using a fixture elsewhere.

▸Foul odors rising from drains, even when they appear clear.

▸Unusually green, lush grass following the path of your sewer line.

▸Toilets that require multiple flushes or seem sluggish.


Coastal NC properties in Onslow and Carteret Counties face specific challenges. Sandy soil and a high water table can shift pipe alignment over time, and the region's tree canopy makes root intrusion into older clay or cast-iron lines a common cause of recurring clogs. A camera inspection early on may save you from a much larger repair bill later.


Residential vs. Commercial Sewer Cleaning

Residential cleaning typically focuses on main line clogs, fixture drains, and septic leach field lines common in homes across Swansboro, Stella, Cedar Point, and Hubert. Commercial properties, including restaurants and office buildings throughout Onslow County, deal with heavier grease loads that require more frequent hydro jetting to stay operational. Jimmy's handles both with the same professional-grade equipment on every job.

How the Sewer Cleaning Process Works

1. Call (910) 340-3861 and describe your issue. Jimmy will discuss the problem and get help on the way.

2. On arrival, the line is assessed. A video camera inspection may confirm the location and nature of the blockage.

3. The appropriate method is selected, most commonly high-pressure hydro jetting for thorough removal of buildup, roots, and debris.

4. The line is cleared and tested to confirm full flow is restored.

5. Drain line locating and marking is offered if repairs or excavation will follow.
