Drain Cleaning FAQs
CPR Drain Cleaning answers common questions about drain cleaning, sewer line work, and septic service for homes and businesses around Columbus.
How Is Sewer Line Service Different From Clearing a Single Clogged Fixture?
Clearing a fixture targets one sink, tub, or floor drain, while sewer line service addresses the main line. A camera inspection shows which service is needed.

Do I Need to Be Home During the Appointment?
Yes, in most cases an adult should be home to give the technician access and review what was found. Call (614) 279-3445.
How Does a Technician Confirm a Drain Is Fully Cleared?
The technician checks that water flows freely before the visit ends. A video camera inspection may be recommended if a deeper pipe problem is suspected.
Why Does a Basement Floor Drain Back Up After Heavy Rain?
Heavy rain can overwhelm drain lines, especially when roots or cracked pipes let rainwater enter the sewer system. A video camera inspection can confirm the cause.
How Long Does a Typical Service Visit Take?
The length of a visit depends on the blockage and where it sits in the line. A simple fixture clog clears quickly, while main line problems take longer.
How Often Should a Septic Tank Be Pumped?
A septic tank typically needs pumping every three to five years. A bacteria treatment after pumping also helps. More tips are on the maintenance tips page.

What Is the Difference Between a Grease Trap and a Grease Interceptor?
