Hydro-Jetting & Drain Cleaning
Snaking a drain only punches a hole through the clog; it doesn't clean the pipe. We use hydro-jetting, which blasts high-pressure water into the line. This scours the pipe walls, removing grease, scale, and invasive tree roots. It is the most effective way to prevent recurring drain clogs.
Camera Inspection & Diagnosis
Before we dig or repair, we look. We feed a high-definition sewer camera into your cleanout to visually inspect the inside of the pipe. We look for root intrusion, bellies (sags), cracks, or offsets. This diagnostic step allows us to recommend the exact repair needed—whether it's a simple cleaning or a structural repair.
Trenchless Pipe Lining in Lathrup Village, MI
If your sewer line is failing due to roots or cracks, you don't always need to dig it up. We use Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining. We pull a resin-coated liner into the damaged pipe and inflate it. Once it cures, it forms a rock-hard, jointless pipe-within-a-pipe that is guaranteed to last for decades. This "no-dig" solution is faster, cleaner, and often more cost-effective than excavation.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I know if my sewer line is broken? Common signs include frequent backups, gurgling toilets, wet spots in the yard, or a sewage smell outside the house.
- Will trenchless repair work for my home? In most cases, yes. However, if the pipe has completely collapsed or has a severe belly (dip), we may need to excavate that specific section to correct the grade.
- How long does trenchless replacement take? Usually 1 to 2 days, compared to a week or more for traditional excavation. It gets your plumbing back online much faster.
- Is hydro-jetting safe for old pipes?We always inspect the pipe with a camera first. If the pipe is structurally sound, jetting is safe. If it is crumbling, we will recommend replacement.
- Do you offer a warranty on the liner?Yes. Our liners typically come with a 50-year manufacturer warranty. It is a permanent solution, not a patch.

Lathrup Village, MI Insights: Population,
Zip Codes, Influence, and Service Areas
The city of Lathrup Village is an outgrowth of the development known as Lathrup Townsite, the dream of its developer Louise Lathrup Kelley. In 1923 she purchased a tract of 1,000 acres (4 km2) in Southfield Township, in southern Oakland County, and proceeded to plant a residential neighborhood that encompasses the city of 1.5 square miles (3.9 km2). Lathrup Townsite was conceived as a controlled community with rigorous standards, including houses built only of masonry construction; early integration of attached garages; as well as established minimums for construction cost to ensure quality. The community also had housing covenants to prevent the sale of homes to African American families, part of a larger trend in the mid-20th century of racist white Detroiters fleeing to the suburbs to avoid living near black residents (see white flight). As the community developed, Mrs. Kelley implemented numerous innovative directives, including operating a shuttle service to local shopping areas, and allowing the financing of automobiles as part of the financing of houses, which created a stronger connection between the relatively isolated townsite and more established suburbs, as well as the city of Detroit. Mr. Charles Kelley, who had been a real estate writer for the Detroit News, assisted his wife in bringing talented architects to the community to design many of the custom homes that are features of the community. The City of Lathrup Village was incorporated in 1953 as the first incorporated community in Southfield Township. The residents thwarted an attempt by township residents to include Lathrup Townsite in their planned incorporation of the city of Southfield, resulting in Southfield's incorporation being delayed until 1958. Louise Lathrup Kelley played an active role in the new city until her death in 1963, after which her remaining real estate holdings in the city were sold and developed.
