Drains and sewers, allow Louisville households to efficiently dispose of waste and wastewater while protecting the home from excess water on the property.
A home’s private sewer system is made up of pipes for both drains and sewers, which join municipal sanitary sewers and storm sewers. Drain pipes run through the home and connect to residential sewers buried underground. Home sewers extend across the property and join a shared sanitary sewer which carries wastewater to a nearby sewage treatment plant, while storm drains handle the collection of stormwater and runoff, diverting it away from the home into the storm sewers so it may flow to a nearby water source.
When these systems suffer clogs or damage, homeowners may experience unwelcome drainage issues in plumbing fixtures throughout the home. The right drain cleaning and plumbing service can be a lifesaver, providing help when needed most. Treatment for tough clogs is completed quickly and repairs for sewer systems are performed with little disruption.

Poor drainage from plumbing fixtures throughout the home creates frustration for many a Louisville homeowner – you’re forced to flush several times, or it takes a long while for the sink or tub to empty. At best, issues are minor and drains just need to be cleared.

Our technicians always wear shoe covers in the home and use drop cloths where necessary, then our work area is cleaned up before completion of our work.

Drainage issues are a hassle for homeowners, especially when they seem to reoccur right after one another. As draining pipes collect foreign materials or pipe material begins to wear out over time, you’ll experience slow drainages or stopped-up drains more often. When this occurs, you need to have the pipes cleared.
Jarboe's Plumbing, Heating & Cooling performs complete drain clearing, repair, and replacement services. Before any treatment is recommended, we search for the problem’s location using sewer camera inspection, which also shows us what sort of drain or sewer issue we are up against. These search results allow us to recommend the most effective services to remove a blockage or remedy damage to a pipe.
The main pipes that make up residential sewers collect grease, foreign objects, hair, and other materials over time. These materials as well as intrusions through broken pipes, like dirt, rocks, or tree roots, may fully block the flow of wastewater to the nearby sanitary sewer. Hydro jetting is used to bust up any gathered material and force it out of the pipe. Damage to sewers means repairs or pipe replacement is often necessary, which now can be done through non-invasive trenchless pipe bursting. Jarboe's Plumbing, Heating & Cooling will find the solution that provides the least disruption for your family.
Sewers and drains are not the same thing. They do work together to form the drainage arm of a home’s plumbing system. All homes have a sanitary sewer system for the removal of wastewater, and some homes may also have storm drains and sewers to handle water on the property.
Each fixture has its drain, which links to the main drain line running through the home. Outside the structure, this drain pipe meets the sewer line. Also called a lateral drain, the sewer line extends from the home out to the municipal sanitary sewers. The sanitary sewers carry wastewater to a nearby plant for sewage treatment.
Stormwater and snow melt in high volumes can damage a home’s foundation – storm sewers protect the home while routing untreated water back to natural waterways. Storm drains can include gutter drains as well as floor and trench drains installed on outdoor surfaces such as a patio or driveway. Off the property, storm drains are commonly installed on curbs or in culverts. Storm sewers collect stormwater from private drains and those installed on public property, sending water back to local creeks, streams, and rivers.
Some homeowners’ first instinct is to call a plumber when they notice signs of problems with home sewers or drains. A professional’s help isn’t always needed to solve the problem – Jarboe's Plumbing, Heating & Cooling offers some tips to help you clear up sewer and drain problems on your own. Feel free to try them before you call to schedule service, but if you’re not comfortable doing so, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Most plumbers use a drain snake that rotates as it’s physically pushed through the clog. This tool dislodges any debris and allows it to pass through the sewer system.
You can try to unclog a drain on your own. The best solution is to run extremely hot water down the drain along with soap, which should loosen the clog and allow it to flow out through the pipes. If it doesn’t work the first time try a few more times. If this doesn’t work, you may need to hire a plumber.
It’s not recommended to use chemical drain-clearing products as these products usually have corrosive ingredients in their composition. They can damage or destroy pipes and septic systems, which will lead to more expensive repairs than calling for a plumber to unclog your drain.
Plumbers have the experience to quickly and safely resolve any clogged drain issue. If you can’t clear the drain on your own, it’s recommended to hire a professional plumber to resolve the issue.
