Technician working with an equipment with a pipe inside a hole

If you own a home in Erlanger, Florence, Covington, or anywhere across the older neighborhoods of Boone and Kenton counties, you already know that drain and sewer problems here tend to run deeper than a simple clog. The mid-century housing stock that makes up much of NKY’s residential neighborhoods was built with cast iron drain lines and clay tile sewer laterals that have been in the ground for 60, 70, sometimes 80 years. The limestone-based clay soil that runs beneath these communities shifts with every freeze and thaw, putting stress on underground joints that were never designed for that kind of long-term movement. And the mature tree canopy that makes neighborhoods like those along Erlanger Road and throughout Florence so distinctive also means tree roots are constantly working their way into aging sewer lines.

Those aren’t problems we read about, they’re the calls we take every week from homeowners across Boone and Kenton counties. We provide complete drain and sewer services throughout Erlanger, Florence, Covington, Newport, Independence, and all of NKY, from a slow kitchen drain to a full sewer line replacement, with same-day service available and 24/7 emergency response for situations that can’t wait. One local team, licensed and fully equipped, from diagnosis to done.

Our Drain & Sewer Services

Arlinghaus covers the full spectrum of residential drain and sewer services across Northern Kentucky. Whether you’re dealing with a recurring clog, a sewer line that’s been causing problems for years, or a drain system that’s simply reached the end of its useful life, our licensed team has the equipment and expertise to handle it:

  • Drain cleaning – professional drain cleaning for kitchen drains, bathroom drains, floor drains, and main sewer line cleaning using snaking and hydro jetting
  • Drain replacement – replacing failing or damaged drain lines throughout the home, including residential drain replacement for aging cast iron and clay tile systems common in older NKY homes
  • Sewer line repair & replacement – traditional excavation and trenchless methods including pipe bursting and CIPP lining for damaged, cracked, or collapsed sewer lines
  • Sewer camera inspection – video camera diagnostics that identify exactly what’s happening inside your drain and sewer lines before any repair work begins
  • Trenchless sewer repair – pipe bursting and CIPP lining that repairs or replaces sewer lines with minimal digging, preserving driveways, landscaping, and finished surfaces.
  • Hydro jetting – high-pressure water jetting for stubborn grease buildup, scale accumulation, and root intrusion that snaking alone can’t fully clear

Our service tech was knowledgeable and took the time to show us what was going on with our AC unit. I was kept up to date with texts throughout the process before he arrived. He took the time to ask if we had any questions. Would highly recommend Arlinghaus!
Arlinghaus was great to get someone to my home immediately as I was dealing with a burst pipe. Mike Thomas was so kind and professional, and thorough in his work. The rates were very reasonable for the wonderful service provided. I certainly will be calling them back if I have any future issues (though I hope I don't!)
I contacted Arlinghaus to have our hot water heater replaced and water softener system installed. The two techs that came out and worked on our project, Derek Mullins and Claude Jones, were excellent! Super nice guys, kept us informed, and did a fantastic job on our house. I appreciate their professional manner and knowledge on this job and I would recommend them for future work. Thank you guys for restoring the hot water in our house and for installing our new water softener, we are so happy for these upgrades!!

Why NKY Drain & Sewer Systems Face Unique Challenges

Northern Kentucky’s combination of aging infrastructure, specific soil conditions, and hard water creates drain and sewer challenges that are more pronounced here than in most other markets:

  • Clay soil movement – NKY’s limestone-based clay soil shifts with moisture and temperature, putting stress on underground sewer joints and causing the pipe separation and misalignment that’s behind a significant share of sewer line repairs in Erlanger, Florence, and Covington
  • Aging cast iron and clay tile pipes – older neighborhoods throughout NKY have original sewer infrastructure that’s decades past its design life; cast iron corrodes from the inside out, clay tile cracks and allows root intrusion, and both materials require different repair approaches than modern PVC
  • Tree root intrusion – mature neighborhoods in Erlanger, Florence, Newport, and Covington have established tree canopy whose roots actively seek out moisture and find sewer line joints; root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer backups we address in NKY
  • Hard water scale in drain lines – NKY’s 120–150 mg/L mineral hardness contributes to buildup inside drain lines that narrows flow capacity over time and makes clogs more frequent
