Common questions about sewer and drain services in Albany, NY.
Absolutely. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer line damage in Albany, NY. 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. Scranton Sewer Authority offers preventive sewer and drain maintenance programs for Albany property owners including scheduled line cleaning, annual camera inspections, and grease trap service for commercial kitchens. Preventive maintenance catches developing problems early and extends the life of your sewer system significantly.
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 Albany property without any excavation.
Trenchless sewer repair uses pipe lining or pipe bursting technology to fix damaged sewer lines without digging up your yard, driveway, or landscaping. It is faster, less disruptive, and often costs less than traditional excavation. Our Albany crews perform trenchless repairs when site conditions allow — saving you time, money, and landscaping restoration costs.
Most standard homeowners insurance policies in Albany do not cover sewer line repair due to normal wear and aging. However, sudden damage from events like tree root intrusion or ground shifting may be partially covered. Some carriers offer sewer line endorsements. We help Albany homeowners understand their coverage and provide documentation for claims that do apply.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water — up to 4,000 PSI — to scour pipe walls clean, removing grease, scale, tree roots, and mineral deposits. It is recommended for Albany properties with recurring clogs, heavy grease buildup, or sewer lines blocked by roots. It is the most effective way to restore full flow to your pipes.
