Drain Cleaning Service
Drain Cleaning in Delaware: Clogs, Sewer Lines & Camera Inspection
A slow drain is easy to ignore. A sewer backup in your basement is not. Big Red Services handles both ends of the spectrum, from a simple kitchen drain cleaning to full sewer line rehabilitation for homeowners across New Castle, Kent, and Sussex Counties and the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Our licensed plumbers carry professional video camera inspection equipment and are available for same-day service when you can’t wait.
What's Actually Causing Your Drain Problem
Most drain clogs don’t have one obvious cause until someone looks inside the line. A slow-draining kitchen sink, laundry line backup, toilet that won’t flush cleanly, or a recurring clog in the same drain every few months are all symptoms — but the underlying cause could be a grease buildup, a sludge accumulation that’s developed over years, root intrusion from a nearby tree, a section of pipe that’s shifted and created a low spot, or internal corrosion in an older cast iron or clay line. Getting the diagnosis right is what makes the fix last.
Video Camera Drain Inspection
For any clog that keeps coming back, or for sewer lines with suspected structural damage, we use video camera drain inspection. A high-resolution waterproof camera goes directly through your drain and sewer lines, showing us exactly what’s blocking the flow, where it is, and what caused it. Our electronic locating device identifies the precise location from above ground so the repair is targeted, no guesswork, no unnecessary excavation. If you’ve had a plumber snake the same drain more than twice without a lasting fix, a camera inspection is the right next step.
Complete Drain & Sewer Cleaning Services
Our drain cleaning team covers kitchen sink drains, bathroom and shower drains, laundry drain backups, floor drains, main sewer lines, and commercial drain systems throughout Delaware. We clear grease and sludge, remove root intrusions, address scale buildup in older pipe, and rehabilitate drain lines in properties with cast iron, clay, or Orangeburg pipe. Whatever’s blocking your drain and wherever it is in your Delaware home, we have the tools and experience to clear it properly.
When the Camera Reveals More Than a Clog
Older Delaware properties, especially those built before the 1970s, sometimes show deeper structural problems once a camera goes in. Cracked or collapsed sections, widespread root damage, or deteriorated Orangeburg pipe may need spot repairs, pipe relining, or full drain line replacement rather than cleaning alone. When that happens, we walk you through the options clearly and provide a written estimate before any additional work begins. No surprises

ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a video camera drain inspection?
We feed a waterproof HD camera through your drain and sewer lines to see exactly what’s causing the blockage and precisely where it is. Our electronic locating device identifies the location from above ground, so any repair is targeted and doesn’t involve unnecessary digging.
What types of drains do you service?
We service kitchen drains, bathroom and shower drains, laundry drain lines, floor drains, and main sewer lines for both residential and commercial properties in Delaware. We also perform sewer line rehabilitation for properties with aged or damaged pipes.
Why does my drain keep clogging in the same spot?
Recurring clogs in the same location usually mean the original blockage wasn’t fully cleared, or there’s an underlying structural issues, root intrusion, a pipe belly, or internal scale buildup. A video camera inspection is the most reliable way to find out what’s actually happening inside the line.
Can you remove tree roots from a sewer line?
Yes. Root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer blockages in Delaware, especially in older neighborhoods with large mature trees. We clear roots using mechanical snaking or hydro-jetting, depending on severity.
