What We Offer

Our Specialties include:

Hamende Sewer Cleaning And Repair specializes in diagnosing and solving complex sewer and drainage issues with precision and care. Their expertise centers on sewer cleaning and repair, using advanced TV camera inspections to clearly identify problems inside underground lines without unnecessary digging, and accurate locating to pinpoint the exact path and depth of sewer lines before any work begins. Alongside these core services, they also handle minor plumbing repairs to address everyday issues quickly and efficiently. With experience serving commercial, residential, and industrial properties, Hamende delivers dependable solutions tailored to the unique demands of each setting, ensuring systems function safely, efficiently, and reliably.

Our Services include:

Plumbing Services: From leaky faucets and low water pressure to failing pipes and new installations, our licensed plumbers handle repairs, replacements, and upgrades with a focus on long-term reliability. We diagnose the root cause, address water and supply line issues, repair or replace fixtures, and ensure every installation meets current code so your home or business runs smoothly without repeat problems.
Drain & Sewer Cleaning (Electric Power Rodding • Hydro Jetting • Sewer Unclogging): When drains slow or stop, we match the method to the clog. Electric power rodding cuts through roots, grease, wipes, and scale to quickly restore flow, while hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour pipes clean, removing heavy buildup and helping prevent future blockages. Whether it’s a kitchen sink, floor drain, or a main sewer line backing up, we clear it safely and effectively for dependable, lasting results.
Sewer Line Diagnostics (Pipe Inspection • Location Detector / Line Locating): Before any repair, we find the exact problem and its precise location. Our video camera inspections let us see inside your lines in real time to identify cracks, root intrusion, offsets, and collapses, and our electronic line locating maps the path and depth of the sewer so work is targeted and minimally invasive. You get clear visuals, accurate pinpointing, and straightforward recommendations you can trust.
Sewer Repair & Replacement: When a sewer line is damaged, we provide the most practical fix for your property and budget—ranging from targeted spot repairs to full replacements when the line is beyond saving. Guided by camera inspection, our team works efficiently to limit disruption, correct issues like collapses, cracks, bellies, and offsets, and verify the repair so you have confidence the problem is fully resolved.
Preventive Maintenance Plans: For homes with trees, older piping, or recurring issues, we design maintenance schedules that keep drains flowing and emergencies at bay. Using routine rodding or jetting and periodic camera inspections, we reduce the risk of sudden backups, extend the life of your pipes, and give you clear visibility into line condition so you can plan ahead with fewer surprises.

Couldn't be happier with the service provided! Highly recommend! Testimonial written by Sarah C on this site.

On 9/23/2025 Rob S had this to say:
Reached out to these guys at 830am on a Monday, Jared showed up 45 min later to clean out or main line that was blocked with roots. Wasn't an easy task but they got the job done. They were very clean, wearing shoe covers when entering the house and the price was very competitive. Will be using these guys in the future.

FAQ

What services do you provide?

We specialize in residential and commercial sewer and drain cleaning, including clogged drains, sewer line inspections, hydro jetting, root removal, and emergency backups. If you're unsure what service you need, give us a call and we’ll help you figure it out.

Do you offer emergency services?

Yes! We understand that sewer and drain issues can’t always wait. We offer 24/7 emergency services to handle urgent problems like sewage backups, flooding, or major clogs.

How do I know if I need a sewer line inspection?

If you're experiencing frequent clogs, slow drains, gurgling sounds, or foul odors, it may be time for a sewer line inspection. We use camera technology to identify the issue and recommend the best solution.

Are your services safe for older pipes?

Absolutely. We assess the condition of your plumbing before starting any work and use methods that are safe for older or fragile pipes, including non-invasive camera inspections and low-pressure cleaning when needed.

How can I prevent future drain problems?

Regular maintenance is key. Avoid flushing non-degradable items, use drain strainers, and consider scheduling annual cleanings. We also offer maintenance plans to help keep your system running smoothly year-round.

What is sewer camera inspection and why is it useful?

Sewer camera inspection uses a specialized video camera to see the inside of your pipes in real time. This allows technicians to accurately identify problems such as root intrusion, cracks, collapsed pipes, or heavy buildup without unnecessary digging. It helps ensure repairs are precise, efficient, and cost-effective.

Do you offer sewer line locating services?

Yes. Hamende uses electronic locating equipment to determine the exact path and depth of sewer lines. This is especially helpful before repairs, replacements, or excavation, helping reduce property disruption and ensuring accurate work.

What’s the difference between rodding and hydro jetting?

Electric power rodding is effective for breaking through tough clogs caused by roots, grease, and debris. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to thoroughly clean the inside of pipes, removing buildup and restoring full flow. The right method depends on the condition of the line and the type of blockage.

Do you perform complete sewer line replacements?

Yes. When a sewer line is too damaged to repair, Hamende provides full sewer line replacement services. All replacement recommendations are based on inspection findings, ensuring customers receive honest guidance and only the work that is truly necessary.
