Our Sewer & Drain Services in Rapid City

Every sewer and drain service you need, delivered by experienced professionals who know the Rapid City area.

Drain Repair

Expert drain pipe repair for cracked, corroded, collapsed, and leaking drain lines. We use camera inspection to locate the damage and the most effective method to repair it permanently.

Sewer Line Replacement

Complete sewer line replacement when repair is no longer cost-effective. We install modern PVC or HDPE pipe with proper grade and connections for decades of reliable service.

Sewer Line Cleaning

Complete sewer line cleaning that goes beyond simple snaking. We scour pipe walls with hydro jetting equipment to remove years of buildup and restore your sewer line to near-original capacity.

Clogged Drain Repair

Stubborn drain clogs require professional tools and expertise. We identify the clog location and composition, clear it completely, and recommend prevention strategies to keep your drains flowing.

Hydro Jetting

Professional hydro jetting that removes everything from your pipe walls — tree roots, hardened grease, calcium buildup, and years of accumulated debris. Restores full pipe capacity in a single visit.

Drain Cleaning

Complete drain cleaning services for residential and commercial properties. From a single slow sink to a whole-house cleaning, we restore every drain to maximum flow.

Sewer Backup

Sewer backup emergencies require immediate action. We dispatch crews fast to stop the overflow, clear the line, and restore sanitary conditions — then find and fix the root cause.

Sewer Line Relining

Sewer line relining seals cracks, closes root entry points, and restores flow capacity without excavation. We pull a resin-coated liner through your existing pipe and cure it in place for a permanent fix.

Trenchless Sewer Repair

Minimally invasive trenchless technology repairs cracked, root-damaged, and deteriorating sewer lines from the inside. No trenching, no landscaping destruction, no lengthy restoration projects.

Drain Snake Service

Professional drain snaking using commercial-grade cable machines to break through tough clogs in sinks, tubs, showers, and main drain lines. Fast, effective, and safe for your pipes.

Sewer Line Installation

New sewer line installation for additions, new construction, and properties connecting to municipal sewer for the first time. Proper grade, materials, and connections for long-term reliability.

Grease Trap Cleaning

Scheduled grease trap cleaning and emergency service for restaurants and food service operations. We pump, clean, and inspect your grease trap to prevent backups and maintain code compliance.

Sewer Cleanout

Professional cleanout installation and service. A properly placed sewer cleanout saves time and money every time your line needs maintenance, inspection, or emergency clearing.

Commercial Drain Cleaning

Industrial-strength commercial drain cleaning for restaurants, retail spaces, offices, and multi-unit buildings. We handle grease lines, floor drains, main sewers, and everything in between.

Sewer Camera Inspection

Advanced video camera inspection of your sewer and drain lines. Real-time footage identifies problems, pinpoints locations, and helps us recommend the most cost-effective solution.

Storm Drain Cleaning

Preventive storm drain cleaning that protects your property from water damage during heavy rainfall. We remove leaves, silt, and debris that block drainage and cause pooling and flooding.

Emergency Drain Service

Around-the-clock emergency drain service for overflowing drains, sewage backups, and flooding. We respond fast with professional equipment to stop the emergency and protect your property.

From spot repairs to full section replacements, we fix damaged sewer lines efficiently and permanently. Camera-verified diagnostics ensure we repair exactly what needs fixing — nothing more, nothing less.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most frequently asked sewer and drain questions from Rapid City property owners.

Will drain cleaning damage my pipes in Rapid City?

Professional drain cleaning by trained technicians will not damage your pipes. Our Rapid City crews select the appropriate equipment for your pipe material and condition — cable machines for tough clogs, hydro jetting for buildup, and gentle methods for older or fragile pipes. We always inspect before cleaning to avoid unnecessary risk.

What are signs I need sewer line repair in Rapid City?

Common warning signs for Rapid City homeowners include multiple slow drains, gurgling toilets, sewage odors in the yard or basement, soggy patches in the lawn, and recurring drain backups. If you notice any of these, call us for a sewer camera inspection to diagnose the problem before it becomes a costly emergency.

How do you diagnose sewer problems in Rapid City without digging?

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 Rapid City property without any excavation.

What is trenchless sewer repair and is it available in Rapid City?

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 Rapid City crews perform trenchless repairs when site conditions allow — saving you time, money, and landscaping restoration costs.

Can tree roots damage my sewer line in Rapid City?

Absolutely. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer line damage in Rapid City, SD. 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.

What is hydro jetting and when is it needed in Rapid City?

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 Rapid City 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.
