Drain Cleaning
What We Do
A slow or blocked drain can interrupt an entire household or business, especially when the problem affects a main line or returns after temporary fixes. Affordable Waste Services provides professional drain cleaning using equipment selected for the type and location of the obstruction. Our available tools include rooter cable machines, sewer inspection cameras, sewer/hydro jetters, smoke testing equipment, and vacuum tanker services.
The right approach depends on the symptoms and condition of the piping. A cable machine may be used to open or retrieve a common blockage. A camera inspection can help identify visible roots, damage, or buildup in an accessible line. For suitable pipes with heavy grease, sludge, or recurring deposits, high-pressure jetting may provide a more thorough cleaning. Smoke testing can help trace certain odors, leaks, breaks, or improper connections.
Since 1989, Affordable Waste Services and Afford-A-Rooter Drain Cleaning have served Licking County and surrounding areas. We also handle septic and aeration tank pumping, grease traps, tank locating, and septic inspections, which is valuable when drainage symptoms may be connected to a private wastewater system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What drain-cleaning method will you use?
- The method depends on the line, symptoms, access, and likely blockage. Options may include cable cleaning or hydro jetting.
When is a camera inspection useful?
- It is helpful when clogs recur, damage is suspected, or the cause and location of the problem are unclear.
Do slow drains always mean the septic tank is full?
- No. The cause may be a local drain clog, main-line blockage, tank issue, or another system condition. An evaluation helps narrow it down.
