Drainage Service & Sewer Repair

Featured Question

What causes sewer backups in Medina County homes?

Two main culprits: grease accumulation and tree roots. Cooking grease poured down drains hardens in the lateral line, collecting solids until the pipe blocks. Tree roots grow into older clay tile and PVC pipes, especially in wooded neighborhoods, creating dense clogs. Heavy rain can overwhelm laterals when downspouts illegally drain into sanitary lines instead of storm drains.

Grease is the #1 cause: It solidifies inside the line and traps other debris
Root intrusion: Common in rural and suburban areas with mature trees
Rain events overwhelm capacity: Check that downspouts and footer drains connect to storm, not sanitary, systems

Signs of a backing-up line: gurgling toilet sounds, slow basement drains, soggy yard spots, or sewage odors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my old Medina home need a full re-pipe?

Not always. Many older homes still have solid galvanized or copper lines. We inspect for corrosion and low pressure, then recommend targeted replacement only if needed, not whole-house work.

What's the difference between septic tanks and sewer service in Medina County?

City and Wadsworth areas connect to the Medina County Sanitary Sewerage System, which treats waste at Liverpool or other plants in the Lake Erie drainage basin. Rural areas use private septic tanks. Both require different maintenance and permits.

Do I need a permit for water heater replacement in my Medina County home?

Most water heater replacements require a permit through the Medina County Building Department. We handle digital permit submissions and all required inspections to ensure code compliance.

How can I prevent frozen pipes during Medina County winters?

Insulate pipes in unheated basements and crawl spaces, disconnect outdoor hoses, and shut off exterior water valves. Know where your main shut-off valve is. Call us immediately if you hear water trickling through frozen pipes.

What should I do if my basement is flooding from a backed-up sewer?

Shut off the main water valve, avoid using drains, and call a plumber immediately. Note that basic homeowners insurance typically does not cover sewer backups; check if your policy includes a rider for this protection.

Can you service both city sewer and septic systems?

Yes. We service sewer laterals in Medina, Brunswick, Wadsworth, and connected municipalities, plus septic systems in rural townships and villages. Each requires different tools and knowledge.
