When the kitchen sink won’t drain, the tub or the bathroom sink won’t drain, you would not be asking the search engine to show you sewer cleaning services in your area. You should contact a drain cleaning service.
How can we know if we need a Drain Cleaning Service or a Sewer Cleaning Service? By the size of the pipe.
The sanitary line conducts sewage from the building to the public sewer lateral or a septic tank. That pipe is generally 4 inches in diameter. Some can be smaller; no less than 3 inches in diameter. For larger, commercial buildings, the sanitary line can be 5 inches in diameter and up.

There are times a floor sink or a utility sink will have a 3- or 4-inch trap. Though the fixture is connected to a large pipe, the pipe needing service is technically a branch line. Branch lines can be considered drain lines. Drain lines not conducting water need drain cleaning service.
However, some sewer and drain services have trucks which only carry smaller equipment for drain cleaning. Cable size for fixture drains found on a Drain Cleaning Service truck would be, ¼” to 3/8”. This larger trap leading to a larger than 2-inch drain line will need to be serviced by equipment and knowledge a sewer service technician would use.
Small cables in large pipes can become tangled and may not be able to be removed from the pipe. Be sure to inform the dispatcher of the size of pipe needing to have flow restored.
Anchor Sewer and Drain Cleaning uses traditional methods of clearing drain blockages. We also use hydro-scrub cleaning for sludge and grease accumulation in the pipe.
Many times, a dispatcher will receive a call from a person who is upset because of the inconvenience, the mess, the unexpected cost of having to hire a drain cleaning service and consumption of time which was set aside for another event. The homeowner can literally say, “I don’t have time for this!”. However, the dispatcher must ask clarifying questions in order to avoid sending the wrong service. In most cases, “Drain Cleaning Service” and Sewer Cleaning Service is available through the same technician. The limit on whether a full-service sewer and drain cleaning service or just a drain cleaning technician arrives at your door may be due to lack of experience and training. Another reason you may not have a full-service sewer and drain cleaning technician arrive would be, ‘is the equipment available’? Suppose the call is from a commercial property. For example, a restaurant calls and says they are having trouble with floor drains and sinks not draining. Or, the caller says the sinks are draining. However, when the sinks empty their compartments, the floor drains allow water to rise and spill onto the floor. Sinks and floor drains are normally considered branch lines, so a the call would be logged as a drain cleaning service. Therefore, the dispatcher will send a drain cleaning service technician.
However, this is a difficult call for a dispatcher since floor drains can be as large as four inches in large restaurants and generally, sink drains in restaurants are no larger than 2″ in diameter. If the sink drains are branching into a part of the sewer system that is also picking up the floor drains, there may be a blockage in the fitting which conveys flow from the floor drain to the main sewer line. This would be considered a drain cleaning service. Or, the blockage could be in the main sewer line just after the branch line fitting. This would be a main line service. In this case, the dispatcher will want to send a technician who is skilled and equipped to handle both a main line and drain cleaning service for branch lines.
At Anchor Sewer and Drain Cleaning Service, our technicians are skilled and knowledgeable in drain cleaning service and main line sewer issues.
Drain cleaning service and removing blockages from main sewer lines are not that different. Size and material are mainly what set the two services apart. As you read from the paragraph above, in a commercial venue, there may be a need for drain cleaning service or main line. That is why most sewer and drain cleaning service companies hire technicians skilled and knowledgeable at both main line and drain cleaning services.

One last scenario. Recall the pool situation at the top of this page. If the drain line on a pool is six inches in diameter and the drain line runs 200 feet, the technician responding should not be just a drain cleaning service technician. He should be someone skilled at both sewer and drain cleaning service. Reason being, the size and distance of the run, though it does not drain sewage, will call for drain cleaning service equipment.
