Honest reviews from property owners who chose Scranton Sewer Authority for their sewer and drain needs.
"The crew installed a new sewer line for our addition. They got the permits, did the excavation, laid the pipe, and passed inspection on the first try. Very professional team."
"Our commercial kitchen drains were draining slower and slower. They did a full hydro jetting of the grease lines and cleaned the trap. Everything flows perfectly now. We are setting up quarterly maintenance."
