Auburn Hills drains fail for different reasons depending on where you are. A restaurant line near Downtown needs grease cut out with a hydro jetting machine. A student rental near Oakland University needs a hair clog pulled from a tub drain. A homeowner in Riverside with a 1960s cast iron pipe needs a sewer camera before anyone runs a rooter machine through it. We stock every truck for all of it, so you get the right tool the first time. If you need emergency sewer cleaning Auburn Hills MI residents can count on, we roll 24/7.
Drain CleaningWe clear kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, laundry lines, and floor drains across Auburn Hills. Our techs start with a drain snake or plumbing auger for simple clogs, then switch to a drain cleaning machine when the blockage is deeper. In older Downtown Auburn Hills homes with cast iron pipe, we inspect first to avoid cracking a corroded line. Most standard clogs clear in under two hours.View details →
Emergency Drain CleaningSewage backing into a basement at midnight is an emergency, and we treat it like one.

Typical emergency response in Auburn Hills is under 90 minutes for main line backups.View details →
Sewer Line CleaningMain sewer laterals in Auburn Hills take on tree roots, grease, and scale buildup. We run a rooter machine or high-pressure hose through the line from the cleanout, then flush to confirm flow. If the line is clay tile or cast iron, we camera it afterward to check for cracks. We clear laterals from the house to the city main, not just the first ten feet.View details →
Sewer Camera InspectionA pipe inspection camera shows us exactly what is wrong before we start cutting. In Auburn Hills, that matters most in older neighborhoods where cast iron pipe has corroded or shifted at the joints. We record the run and show you the footage. You see the root intrusion, the crack, or the grease ring yourself. No guesswork, no unnecessary digging.View details →
Hydro JettingHydro jetting uses a high-pressure hose to scour grease buildup and scale off pipe walls, not just punch through it. We use it heavily on commercial kitchen lines near Downtown Auburn Hills and on apartment buildings near Oakland University where grease and hair accumulate fast. Jetting restores the pipe to near its original diameter. It is the difference between clearing a clog and cleaning a line.View details →
Storm Drain CleaningAuburn Hills has a lot of pavement, and storm drains collect leaves, grit, and debris all year. When a storm inlet clogs, water pools in parking lots and along curbs. We clear storm drain blockage with a combination of vacuum equipment and high-pressure hose, then check the downstream line. We handle both residential driveway drains and commercial lot inlets.View details →
Every drain job in Auburn Hills starts the same way: we ask what is backing up, where, and for how long. That tells us whether to bring a drain snake, a rooter machine, or the hydro jetting trailer. On arrival, we protec
Roots find the joints in clay tile pipe and grow into the line. In Auburn Hills neighborhoods with mature trees, this causes repeat backups every 12 to 18 months if the roots are not cut and the pipe is not inspected. A simple snake job will not hold.
How we help: We run a rooter machine with a root-cutting head to clear the intrusion, then send a sewer camera down to find the entry points. If the pipe is cracked or shifted, we show you the footage and talk through lining options. If it is sound, we recommend a root killer maintenance schedule to slow regrowth.
Restaurants and commercial kitchens near Downtown Auburn Hills and the Chrysler Technology Center Area push grease into drain lines every day. Grease cools and hardens on pipe walls, narrowing the line until it blocks completely. A snake pokes a hole; the grease closes back in within weeks.
How we help: We hydro jet these lines with a high-pressure hose and hot water to strip the grease off the pipe walls. For high-volume kitchens, we set up a quarterly jetting schedule so the line never gets close to blocking. We also check the grease trap connection while we are there.
Michigan winters drive frost deep into the ground. Shallow sewer laterals can freeze, and frost heave can shift pipe joints, creating cracks and new leak points. We see a spike in no-drain calls from December through February, often in the early morning.
How we help: We carry steam and hot water equipment to thaw frozen lines without cracking them. After thawing, we camera the line to check for frost damage. If a joint has shifted, we document it and discuss repair. We also advise homeowners to keep a trickle running on the coldest nights.

Auburn Hills is easy to navigate once you know the landmarks. We use Oakland University as our anchor for the north side, the Chrysler Headquarters complex for the east, and the Auburn Hills Public Library for the Downtown area. When you call, we ask for the nearest landmark or cross street, not just the address. That gets the right truck to you faster, especially in the commercial corridors where building numbers are not always visible from the road.
Oakland University anchors the north side of Auburn Hills. We use its campus entrances and surrounding streets as orientation points when routing to student housing and nearby residential blocks. It helps us identify which side of the city a caller is on before we dispatch.
The Chrysler Headquarters complex is a major east-side landmark. We use it to orient commercial calls in the Chrysler Technology Center Area and to plan routes that avoid shift-change traffic on the surrounding roads.
The former Palace of Auburn Hills site is still a widely recognized reference point for locals. When a caller says they are near the old Palace, we know exactly which corridors and access roads they mean, even though the arena is gone.
The Auburn Hills Public Library is a central Downtown reference. We use it to locate nearby residential streets and to give callers a simple meeting point if their address is hard to find from the road.
These are our most frequently served ZIP codes. Nearby areas may also qualify—call if you do not see yours.
