OUR Excavation & Drain Services
If you need a pipeline repaired underground or need a full line replacement, our team of technicians can perform open-cut trenches to expose each underground pipe for a complete inspection. We find the problems and repair or replace the pipes. Then, the area we dug out will either be backfilled with soil to cover the exposed pipes, or we can fill it in with compacted stone or sand to prevent unwanted settling or uneven settling of the ground. Our professional excavation services include new home line installation, pipeline repairs, septic system transitions, line repairs, pipeline replacement, and much more.

How Do You Unclog Drains?
When drains are backed up, homeowners like to use corrosive drain chemicals like Drano despite all the warnings from professionals. Like all the other pros, we at Middletown Plumbing & Drain advise against using these harsh chemicals. As one of the area’s leading experts for drain cleaning in Middletown, Greater Cincinnati and surrounding areas, we suggest calling our drain experts for clearing out clogged drains. Because these harsh chemicals (caustic soda, lye, Pequa, Drano, and other drain cleaners) are so corrosive to pipes and drains and because they can get back into the water supply and affect water quality, we recommend avoiding the use of these chemicals. Even after they are processed and treated at the water treatment facility, they can still get into the water supply and become harmful or toxic. Furthermore, the insides of your pipes get damaged by these chemicals despite them being marketed as safe. Natural enzymes are always a far more superior and safer solution if you’re trying to clear them out on your own. Natural enzymes are hands down the best alternative to synthetic cleaners and toxic drain cleaning chemicals because they break up blockages inside your drains safely effectively without harming the drain’s lining or polluting the water.

FAQ
FAQ: Sewer, Drain & Excavation
What do water softeners do?
They remove ions using an ion exchange process. The ions water softeners remove are positively charged ions. They remove calcium, sulfur and magnesium, which is what makes water hard. Calcium and magnesium, in fact, are referred to as ‘hardness minerals. Water softeners are also applied sometimes to remove iron. These softening systems can remove up to five or more milligrams per liter of dissolved iron. Water softeners often run automatically, but they can run semi-automatically or manually as well. Each type of water softener is rated by the amount of hardness it removes before regeneration is required. Water softeners gather hardness minerals inside water conditioning tanks. After it gathers them up, from time to time it will flush them down the drain.
Why are water softeners necessary?
They are helpful because hard water often causes harm to plumbing and plumbing related fixtures and appliances. In many homes, water softeners are a must. If you have hard water in your home or building, it can clog your pipes, damaging your plumbing appliances and equipment and make soap dissolve less easily if left untreated. Water softeners help you avoid all these negative effects and they do much more. They also make water taste a lot better and make your home smell better if you have issues with sulfur. Certain types of hard water causes limescale deposits in household plumbing. Water softeners prevent this and protect plumbing. Because of this limescale build-up, pipes can get blocked and the efficiency of water heaters are decreased. This increases the cost of domestic water heating by at least 15 percent to 20 percent. Limescale on plumbing also damages other plumbing equipment and appliances, like laundry machines. Using a water softener will prolong the lifespan of your plumbing appliances in addition to the lifespan of the of pipelines.
How much does sewer line services and drain cleaning services cost?
Experts say the national average charge for expert sewer line services is $196 to $289. We charge below the national average. Having said that, until the extent and nature of a sewer or drain problem is accurately diagnosed, the cost will vary. For instance, let’s say you suspect you have a minor drain problem because you only have a few drains that are slow. Despite its appearance, however, you could still have a problem that’s a lot bigger than you realize. If the sewer line is damaged by root intrusion and those roots get worse because of clogs in multiple places from waste, food particles, grease, hair, and/or other debris, you might have a much bigger problem that requires a lot more evasive work to be performed. We aren’t saying this is always the case. It’s not. This is an exception to the case. Regardless, you should give us a call because we start every sewer line and drain cleaning job with a thorough video pipe inspection, or drain camera inspection.
