Drain Cleaning
Our professional drain cleaning service removes blockages using advanced augers and hydro-jetting equipment. We specialize in kitchen sinks, sewer lines, and commercial grease traps. Technicians identify root causes like tree root intrusion or mineral buildup to prevent recurring issues. All services include system functionality verification and maintenance recommendations.
Water Jetting
High-pressure water jetting delivers 4,000 PSI cleaning power for complete sewer line maintenance. This eco-friendly method removes grease, scale, and debris buildup from 2-inch to 12-inch pipes. Ideal for commercial kitchens and industrial facilities requiring regular maintenance. Prevents emergency backups through proactive pipe descaling.
Stormwater Management
Comprehensive stormwater system maintenance includes catch basin cleaning, area drain inspection, and water quality unit servicing. Our team ensures compliance with municipal regulations through proper oil/water separator maintenance. Preventative maintenance plans reduce flood risks during heavy rainfall events.
Video Inspection
CCTV video inspection locates clogs and pipe damage without destructive excavation. Our crawler cameras inspect lines from 2-inch residential pipes to 12-inch commercial sewers. Digital reports show precise problem locations with repair recommendations. Essential for accurate quoting and insurance documentation.

I called on Monday late afternoon and got scheduled 8-10am the next morning, super accommodating to me! Denny or Dennis came out and fixed my clogged kitchen drain less than 10 mins, and he cleaned the surface, tightened everything, test ran the water, everything was smooth and super! Plus the price is affordable, will definitely use JS again. :

Technician arrived promptly as scheduled. He assessed the situation and went out to retrieve equipment necessary to clear clogged shower drain. He completed his work and left everything the way he found it. I would definitely use John's Sewer & Pipe Cleaning service again. Service: Drain cleaning

I called and spoke to a nice man who let me know I would be able to have service same day. An associate came out within 2 hours of me calling. He diagnosed the issue and worked super hard until my clog was cleared. He also cleaned up after the mess. I would recommend this business to everyone. Payment was easy and I received a receipt right away.

We had a major block and were told that we possibly needed house trap removed costing 10k. JS sent such an honest lovely guy who came and with some hard work was able to unblock our mainline. He made sure before he left that the water was flowing properly(which wasn't done by 2 other companies!). He was kind and patient and my family are forever grateful! Edited to add :the price the gentleman quoted was the ACTUAL price in the end. Unheard of!

Just had the absolute WORST experience with this company and will probably never recommend them to anyone in the future. The plumber who showed up was so rude to my husband it was unreal and went as far to tell him to "spit it out" because he wasn't explaining what was wrong with our faucet fast enough. Completely unprofessional and I'm utterly disgusted at the lack of patience. Wish I knew his name. 100% DO NOT RECOMMEND. Safe to say he left very promptly and I don't wish for a return.
