View OptionsFast Help for Sewer Backups in Loganville
Sewage coming up through a floor drain or tub is a health hazard as well as a mess. Call Keep Smiling and you’ll be answered day or night. We’ll get you scheduled fast and do everything we can to get a plumber to your door the same day.
Until we arrive, stop running water anywhere in the house, including the dishwasher and washing machine. Keep children and pets away from backed-up water, and skip the chemical drain cleaners, which can damage pipes and make the job more hazardous once the line is opened.
Drain Lines vs. Sewer Lines
Every sink, tub, shower, and toilet in your home connects to a small branch drain. Those branch lines feed into a larger main drain, which leaves the house and becomes your sewer line, carrying wastewater to the city sewer or a septic system.
A clog in a branch drain usually affects one fixture and can often be cleared quickly. Problems in the main line or sewer line tend to show up in several fixtures at once and may involve roots, collapsed pipe, or sagging sections that need repair. Telling the two apart is the first step to fixing the problem for good, and our team handles both as part of our full plumbing services
Signs You Need Drain or Sewer Service
Your drains often give warning signs before a full backup. Call us if you notice:
- Several Slow Drains at Once: Multiple fixtures draining slowly points to the main line
- Gurgling Sounds: Bubbling from toilets or drains when water runs elsewhere in the house
- Sewage Smells: Foul odors inside the home or around your yard’s sewer cleanout
- Water Backing Up: Water rising in a tub or shower when you flush or run the washing machine
- Soggy Patches in the Yard: Unusually green or wet spots along your sewer line’s path
- Recurring Clogs: The same drain clogging again weeks after it was cleared
Types of Sewer and Drain Pipes We Service
The pipe material under your home affects how it fails and how we repair it. Our plumbers work on:
- PVC: Smooth, root-resistant plastic pipe used in most modern drain and sewer lines
- ABS: Black plastic drain pipe found in some homes, prone to joint separation over time
- Cast Iron: Heavy metal pipe that can rust, scale, and crack from the inside as it ages
- Clay Tile: Older sewer pipe with joints that tree roots can easily work their way into
- Orangeburg: A fiber-based pipe used in some mid-century homes that can deform and collapse
Why You Should Hire a Licensed Plumber for Sewer Work in Loganville
Sewer lines carry hazardous waste, run underground, and connect to municipal systems. Here’s why that work calls for a licensed professional:
- Proper Diagnosis: Camera inspections confirm the problem before any digging or repair begins
- Professional-Grade Equipment: Commercial jetters, augers, and locators that rental tools can’t match
- Safe Handling of Waste: Training that protects your home and family from sewage exposure
- Code-Compliant Repairs: Correct pipe slope, materials, and connections that meet Georgia plumbing code
- Permits and Utility Locates: Required permits and underground utility marking arranged before excavation
- Warranty-Eligible Work: Repairs completed to standard so they qualify for coverage
All of our drain and sewer work is completed under Georgia Master Plumber License MP210191 by background-checked, drug-screened technicians.

How We Handle Drain and Sewer Service
- Reach Out Day or Night: Our phones are answered day or night, or you can schedule online. We’ll set a time and confirm it with you.
- Uniformed Plumber on Site: Your plumber arrives in a marked truck, asks which drains are affected, and checks access points like cleanouts.
- Clear and Inspect: We clear the blockage and, when it makes sense, run a camera through the line to see what caused it.
- See the Findings Yourself: You’ll see the camera footage, along with written pricing for each option to fix the problem.
- Complete the Repair: Once you approve, we clean, repair, or replace the line using the method that best fits your situation.
- Flow Test and Sign-Off: We run water through every affected fixture, review the results with you, and get your signature.
Common Drain and Sewer Problems We Fix in Loganville
Between mature trees, heavy rains, and dense clay soil, Loganville-area sewer lines face some tough conditions:
- Tree Root Intrusion: Roots from oaks, pines, and other large trees seek out moisture and grow into pipe joints
- Bellied Sewer Lines: Clay soil that swells and shrinks can let sections of pipe sag, where waste collects
- Storm-Related Backups: Heavy summer downpours can overwhelm lines that are already partly blocked
- Grease Buildup: Cooking grease cools and hardens in kitchen lines, especially after big holiday meals
- Wipes and Paper Products: So-called flushable wipes don’t break down and snag inside pipes
- Cracked or Separated Joints: Settling and ground movement pull older pipe sections apart
Drain and Sewer Costs in Loganville
Clearing a single drain costs far less than replacing a sewer line, and your plumber will give you the exact price before starting. Pricing depends on:
- Where the clog or damage is located and how deep the line runs
- Whether snaking or hydro jetting is the right method
- What the camera inspection reveals
- The length of pipe that needs repair or replacement
- Trenchless repair versus traditional excavation
- Obstacles above the line, such as driveways, patios, or landscaping
Sewer line repairs can be a significant expense, so we offer financing through Service Finance and Chowder. Ask your plumber about payment options while they’re at your home.
