Lake County homes and businesses sit on a patchwork of sanitary utilities. Some areas are served by the Lake County Department of Utilities; several western cities run their own sanitary systems. S&K Drain & Sewer Solutions focuses on the private side — interior drains, private laterals, camera documentation, and commercial lines — after you confirm your address.
We serve Lake County communities listed below and confirm each address during intake. Coverage on this site is not a guarantee that every parcel shares the same utility or response window.
LCDU’s Sanitary Sewer Division maintains hundreds of miles of sanitary sewer lines and operates major treatment plants, including the Gary L. Kron Water Reclamation Facility in Mentor (central county) and the Madison Wastewater Treatment Facility (eastern county).
LCDU also notes that Willoughby, Eastlake, Willowick, Wickliffe, and Willoughby Hills sanitary systems are municipal — residents may need to contact their city for main-line questions even when LCDU handles billing for some of those communities.
Lake County General Health District regulates household sewage treatment systems for properties that are not on public sewer and offers point-of-sale septic evaluations (required in some local jurisdictions such as Willoughby for HSTS properties; often voluntary elsewhere unless a local rule applies).
For customers, the useful rule is: public mains and treatment belong to the utility or city; interior plumbing and the private lateral are usually the property owner’s problem once the street main is clear. That private-side work is what we do.
A short triage saves time during a backup.
Ask whether the public main could be involved. Some Lake County cities publish a process for checking the street main first. If the main is clear — or only one area of the building is affected — call us for private drain or sewer cleaning.
Usually an interior drain cleaning job. We confirm which fixtures are involved and restore flow when that is the right scope.
Camera inspection can document visible roots, offsets, or buildup in accessible lines so you are not guessing.
Health-district septic evaluations and sewer camera inspections answer different questions. We provide camera-based sewer documentation when a line is accessible; HSTS evaluations are handled through Lake County General Health District processes.
Start with the service that matches your symptoms. We confirm scope during intake.
Businesses can also review commercial drain support.

Common Lake County questions before you request service.
If your city publishes a street-main check (for example Painesville Public Works), start there for multi-fixture sanitary backups. If the main is operating normally, or the problem is limited to private drains, call S&K for cleaning and diagnosis. For active sewage in living areas, call us promptly and contact emergency services if conditions may be hazardous.
