Athens Customer Reviews

★★★★★

Hydro jetted our restaurant's grease line and set us up on a maintenance schedule. No more Saturday-night backups. Great commercial plumbers in Athens.

— Nadia H., Athens, MI
★★★★★

Gas smell near the dryer. Utility shut it off and Elite came out, found the leaking fitting, fixed and pressure tested everything the same day. Very reassuring.

— Renee L., Athens, MI
★★★★★

Low water pressure for years. They found a failing pressure regulator and replaced it. Showers are great again. Should have called sooner.

— Ray & Donna F., Athens, MI

Sewer Backup in Athens — Frequently Asked Questions

Why is sewage backing up into my Athens basement?

Usually a blocked main sewer line — tree roots, grease, wipes or a collapsed pipe. In some Athens neighborhoods heavy rain can also overwhelm combined sewers. A camera inspection tells us which.

How quickly can you respond to a sewer backup in Athens?

Sewer backups are top priority. We dispatch 24/7 across Athens and Calhoun County and aim to be on site within the hour.

Can you prevent future backups?

Yes — options include a backwater valve, scheduled root cutting or hydro jetting, and replacing damaged sections of line with trenchless methods.

Is sewer backup cleanup included?

We clear the line and stop the backup. For sanitizing and restoration we coordinate with reputable cleanup companies serving Athens.
