Our drain cleaning services in Dover

We clear slow and clogged drains, clean sewer lines, and use camera diagnostics to find the cause of a clog or backup before deciding on a repair. Hydro jetting handles heavier buildup in a line. We also do sewer line repair and replacement in Dover, and a camera inspection can be done in any town we serve. In Dover, a camera inspection can show whether tree roots or older pipe are behind a slow drain.

Older homes and sewer lines in Dover

About 27% of housing units in Dover (4,155 of 15,439) were built in 1939 or earlier. Sewer lines serving older homes may be cast iron or clay, and those materials can crack, corrode or separate at the joints over time.

The City's collection system includes approximately 115 miles of sanitary sewer and 23 pumping stations. Since 2000, the City has worked to find and correct inflow and infiltration, using maintenance hole inspections, closed-circuit TV inspections inside the piping, dye-testing and smoke-testing.
