What Athens property owners want to know about drain cleaning — answered by our experts.

Chemical drain cleaners can damage pipes, especially older clay and cast iron. They also rarely clear the full blockage. Professional mechanical cleaning from Scranton Sewer Authority is safer, more effective, and better for your Athens plumbing long-term.
We recommend professional drain cleaning every 1 to 2 years for most Athens homes. Properties with large trees, older pipes, or heavy kitchen use may benefit from more frequent cleaning. Commercial kitchens typically need quarterly grease line service.
