Sometimes. Sewer smells in Johnston homes can come from dried-out P-traps, blocked vent pipes, or cracked drain lines. Professional drain cleaning and camera inspection help us identify the source and fix it properly.
We recommend professional drain cleaning every 1 to 2 years for most Johnston homes. Properties with large trees, older pipes, or heavy kitchen use may benefit from more frequent cleaning. Commercial kitchens typically need quarterly grease line service.
Chemical drain cleaners can damage pipes, especially older clay and cast iron. They also rarely clear the full blockage. Professional mechanical cleaning from Scranton Sewer Authority is safer, more effective, and better for your Johnston plumbing long-term.
Real feedback from property owners who trusted Scranton Sewer Authority with their sewer and drain projects.
"The trenchless repair saved our front yard. We were dreading having to dig up the entire lawn but they pulled a liner through the existing pipe and it was done in one day. Could not even tell they were there."
"Our commercial kitchen drains were draining slower and slower. They did a full hydro jetting of the grease lines and cleaned the trap. Everything flows perfectly now. We are setting up quarterly maintenance."
"The crew handled our commercial building drain cleaning efficiently and on schedule. They cleaned all the floor drains, the main line, and the grease trap in one visit. Excellent commercial service."
