Local Family Business Serving Lancaster, Circleville & Chillicothe with Professional Plumbing, Drainage & Excavation Services
Drain Bros was founded to address a gap in southern Ohio’s plumbing and drainage service market. Too many property owners faced limited options when dealing with sewer line problems, drainage issues, or excavation needs—contractors offering single services, inconsistent quality, or unwillingness to tackle challenging projects common in Central Ohio. We built Drain Bros around a different approach: comprehensive expertise addressing every plumbing, drainage, and excavation need with professional attention and reliable results.
From the beginning, we’ve focused on understanding regional challenges rather than applying generic solutions. Central Ohio properties present specific problems—clay sewer lines from mid-20th century construction failing from predictable causes, heavy clay soil creating persistent drainage challenges, and rural properties requiring well and septic expertise. Rather than treating these as unusual complications, we built our business around mastering these regional conditions. Today, Drain Bros serves Lancaster, Circleville, and Chillicothe with the comprehensive expertise southern Ohio properties need.
As a local family business, we’ve built our reputation one project at a time through quality workmanship, honest communication, and standing behind our work. We’re the company you’ll see around town, the neighbors who understand local conditions because we live and work in these communities.

The Drain Bros team brings together experienced professionals with deep expertise in plumbing, drainage, and excavation. Our licensed plumbers handle everything from routine repairs to complex sewer services and emergency situations. Our drainage specialists understand how to design and install systems that work in Central Ohio’s challenging clay soil. Our excavation operators have the equipment expertise and knowledge to handle projects from small residential trenching to large commercial site work.
What unifies our team is commitment to professional service and quality results. We believe in accurate diagnosis preventing wrong repairs, clear communication explaining problems and solutions, detailed estimates before work begins, and following through to ensure customer satisfaction. Our technicians arrive with proper equipment, work efficiently and professionally, and leave properties clean after completing work. Licensed, insured, and experienced, the Drain Bros team delivers the professional service southern Ohio properties deserve.
Continuous training keeps our team current with evolving techniques, equipment, and regulations. Plumbing, drainage, and excavation technology advances—from camera inspection equipment to modern pipe materials to drainage system design. We invest in equipment and training ensuring our team provides the best solutions available.
Drain Bros operates on straightforward principles that guide every project. We believe in honest assessment—diagnosing actual problems rather than upselling unnecessary work. When camera inspection reveals a sewer line has isolated damage, we recommend targeted repair rather than automatic replacement. When drainage problems have simple solutions, we implement them rather than defaulting to expensive comprehensive systems. This honest approach builds trust and ensures customers receive appropriate solutions.
We believe in quality workmanship meeting professional standards. Sewer line replacement means proper grade ensuring drainage, correct bedding preventing future settling, and thorough testing confirming function. French drain installation means adequate depth reaching below saturation, proper gravel and fabric preventing clogging, and discharge to appropriate locations. Excavation means precise work meeting specifications, protecting existing utilities, and thorough site restoration. Quality work costs more than shortcuts but provides lasting value.
We believe in clear communication throughout projects. Customers receive accurate information about problems, realistic solutions, detailed cost estimates, and progress updates. We explain what we’re doing and why, answer questions thoroughly, and ensure customers understand their options. Professional service means treating customers with respect and keeping them informed.

Our service area focus on Lancaster, Circleville, and Chillicothe reflects deliberate strategy rather than arbitrary boundaries. Southern Ohio presents specific challenges requiring specialized expertise—expertise developed through focused experience rather than attempting to serve everywhere superficially. By concentrating on Fairfield, Pickaway, and Ross Counties, we’ve mastered regional conditions, built relationships with local suppliers and inspectors, and developed deep understanding of area properties.
Central Ohio’s clay soil affects every aspect of our work. Clay sewer line failures follow predictable patterns from root intrusion and settling. Drainage solutions require designs accounting for clay’s poor permeability. Well systems encounter geology specific to the region. Septic systems need drain field designs appropriate for clay soil. Understanding these regional characteristics allows us to provide better solutions than contractors treating every location identically.
Being local means more than geographic proximity. We know Lancaster’s older neighborhoods with original 1950s-1970s infrastructure, understand Circleville’s development patterns and utility layouts, and recognize Chillicothe’s property characteristics. We work with local health departments on septic permits, coordinate with utility companies on connections, and understand municipal requirements. This local knowledge translates to efficient, appropriate service for southern Ohio properties.
Drain Bros maintains all required licenses and insurance protecting customers and ensuring professional standards. Our plumbing licenses demonstrate competency meeting state requirements. Comprehensive insurance coverage protects customers’ properties and our team members. These credentials aren’t just paperwork—they represent commitment to operating professionally and legally.
Experience matters in plumbing, drainage, and excavation. We’ve completed hundreds of projects throughout southern Ohio—sewer line replacements converting problematic clay lines to durable modern pipe, drainage installations solving persistent water problems, excavation projects supporting construction and infrastructure, well pump services restoring water supply to rural properties, and septic system work maintaining and installing systems throughout the region. This experience means we’ve encountered virtually every situation and developed expertise solving problems efficiently.
We stay current with evolving codes, techniques, and technologies. Building codes update regularly, health department requirements change, new materials and methods emerge, and best practices evolve. Continuous learning ensures we provide current, appropriate solutions rather than outdated approaches. Professional contractors maintain expertise through ongoing education and industry involvement.
