Our licensed Indiana plumbers serve Clark County and surrounding Southern Indiana communities—including Jeffersonville, Charlestown, Clarksville, Sellersburg, New Albany, Borden, Henryville, Memphis, Floyds Knobs, Madison, and the surrounding areas—with the drain and sewer cleaning expertise your home needs.

Signs You Have a Drain or Sewer Problem

Many drain problems give you warning signs before they turn into a full backup.

Recognizing the early warning signs of a drain or sewer issue can help you address the problem before it escalates into a costly emergency. Common indicators include slow-draining sinks, tubs, or showers; water backing up in multiple fixtures at the same time; gurgling sounds coming from drains when water runs elsewhere in the house; foul sewage odors coming from drains; water pooling around floor drains in the basement; and sewage backups in the lowest drains in the home.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to call Trident Plumbing for a professional drain inspection and cleaning.

Our Drain Cleaning Services in Clark County

Kitchen Drain Cleaning

Kitchen drains are among the most heavily used and most frequently clogged drains in any home. Grease, cooking oils, soap, and food particles build up over time, gradually restricting flow until the drain becomes completely blocked. Trident Plumbing cleans kitchen drains thoroughly, removing grease buildup and debris from the drain line all the way to the main sewer connection. We also inspect the p-trap and drain line configuration to ensure everything is properly connected and functioning as it should.

Bathroom Drain Cleaning

Hair, soap scum, toothpaste, and personal care products cause bathroom sink, tub, and shower drains to slow down and eventually clog. Our plumbers clear bathroom drain blockages quickly and completely, using professional tools that reach well beyond the drain opening to address buildup deeper in the line.

Main Sewer Line Cleaning

The main sewer line carries all of your home’s wastewater to the municipal sewer system or your septic tank. When this critical line becomes blocked—whether from grease accumulation, tree root infiltration, pipe scale, or debris—every drain in your home can be affected. Trident Plumbing performs main sewer line cleaning using high-powered hydro-jetting equipment that blasts blockages clear and thoroughly cleans pipe walls, restoring full flow capacity throughout your Clark County home’s sewer system.

Hydro-Jetting

Hydro-jetting is one of the most effective drain and sewer cleaning methods available. Using a specialized nozzle and highly pressurized water—up to 4,000 PSI—hydro-jetting blasts through the toughest blockages, cleans grease from pipe walls, and flushes debris completely out of the drain line. Unlike drain snaking, which punches a hole through a clog, hydro-jetting thoroughly cleans the entire interior of the pipe. Trident Plumbing uses professional hydro-jetting equipment for both residential and light commercial drain cleaning throughout Clark County.

Video Sewer Camera Inspection

Our sewer camera inspection service uses a high-resolution waterproof camera fed into your drain or sewer line to provide a real-time view of the pipe’s interior. This technology allows our Clark County plumbers to accurately identify the location and nature of blockages, root intrusions, pipe damage, bellied pipe sections, and other conditions that affect drain performance. Sewer camera inspections are an invaluable diagnostic tool that helps us recommend the right solution—whether that’s a cleaning, a spot repair, or a more extensive sewer line repair or replacement.

Tree Root Intrusion — A Common Sewer
Problem in Clark County

Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer line failure in Clark County homes, particularly in older neighborhoods with mature trees. Roots naturally seek out moisture, and the small cracks or joints in older clay and cast-iron sewer pipes provide an irresistible entry point. Once inside the pipe, roots grow rapidly, catching debris and eventually blocking flow completely.

Trident Plumbing’s sewer camera inspection service can identify root intrusion early, before it causes a complete blockage. We can clear root obstructions using hydro-jetting or mechanical cutting tools, and in cases where the pipe damage is severe, we can recommend and perform the appropriate sewer line repair or replacement to prevent future root problems.

Preventive Drain Maintenance for Clark County Homeowners

Regular professional drain cleaning is one of the best investments you can make in the long-term health of your home’s plumbing system. Annual or bi-annual drain maintenance appointments with Trident Plumbing help prevent the gradual buildup of grease, scale, and debris that leads to slow drains and clogs. Preventive maintenance also gives our plumbers the opportunity to inspect your drain and sewer system for developing problems before they become expensive emergencies.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drain
Cleaning in Clark County

How often should I have my drains professionally cleaned?
For most Clark County homes, an annual professional drain cleaning is a good preventive measure. Homes with older plumbing, large households, or a history of recurring drain problems may benefit from more frequent cleaning. Kitchen drains in homes that see heavy cooking activity can benefit from bi-annual cleaning to prevent grease buildup.
Are store-bought drain cleaning chemicals safe to use?
Most chemical drain cleaners contain harsh caustic agents that can damage pipe materials—particularly older pipes and rubber gaskets—with repeated use. They also rarely address the root cause of a clog and often provide only temporary relief. Professional mechanical drain cleaning is safer for your pipes and more effective at solving the underlying problem.

Sewer Line Repair and Replacement in Clark County

Sometimes cleaning isn’t enough. If your sewer camera inspection reveals cracked pipe sections, collapsed lines, severe root damage, or sections of pipe that have bellied (sagged) and are trapping waste, repair or full sewer line replacement may be the right call. Trident Plumbing performs sewer line repairs throughout Clark County using proven methods that restore proper flow and prevent future failures.

For targeted damage—a single cracked section or a localized root intrusion—we can perform a spot repair by excavating just that section of the line and replacing it. For more extensive damage spread over a longer section of pipe, we’ll discuss full sewer line replacement, which involves installing a new line from your home to the municipal connection. We explain every option, show you the camera footage, and give you a clear written estimate before any dig begins. No surprises. We serve homeowners throughout Jeffersonville (47130), Charlestown (47111), Clarksville (47129), Sellersburg (47172), New Albany (47150), and Clark County and surrounding Southern Indiana communities.

Drain Cleaning for Older Clark County Homes

Clark County has a significant number of older homes—particularly in New Albany, Charlestown, and the historic neighborhoods of Jeffersonville—that were built with clay tile or cast-iron sewer lines. These materials have served generations of Clark County families well, but they have a lifespan, and they require more attentive maintenance as they age. Clay tile joints crack and shift over time, creating entry points for roots. Cast-iron corrodes from the inside, reducing diameter and flow. Both materials are more vulnerable to collapse when they’ve been in the ground for 40, 50, or 60+ years.

Trident Plumbing has extensive experience working on the drain and sewer systems in Clark County’s older housing stock. We know what to look for, we have the right equipment to service these systems, and we give honest recommendations that prioritize your home’s long-term health over a quick fix.

Floor Drain and Basement Drain Cleaning in Clark County

Basement floor drains and utility room drains are often neglected until they back up at the worst possible time—usually during a heavy rain event or when a large amount of water is being discharged from a washing machine or water softener. Trident Plumbing cleans basement floor drains and utility drains throughout Clark County, clearing buildup and verifying that the drain trap is properly holding water to block sewer gas. If your basement floor drain has never been cleaned, now is the time.
