Vermont Drain Cleaning reaches Highgate from the shop at 593 Riverside Ave. in Burlington, typically arriving within an hour on weekdays for most calls. The crew handles residential and farm drain issues along Route 78 and the smaller roads that branch toward the Canadian border.
Highgate homes often sit on older septic lines or clay pipe laterals that crack from freeze-thaw cycles once winter temperatures drop. Tree roots from maples and willows along the Missisquoi River corridor are a frequent cause of recurring blockages in this area.
Customers in Highgate most often request same-day clearing of kitchen and laundry lines plus camera inspections before buying or selling property near the Highgate State Park entrance.

Drain Cleaning in Highgate — Local Notes
- •Many Highgate properties use private septic systems with 4-inch laterals that require 100-foot snake or hydro-jetting access from the roadside cleanout.
- •Winter access can be limited on Class 3 roads; the Burlington crew carries tire chains and schedules early-morning runs before school buses start.
- •Franklin County permits are not required for most residential drain cleaning but must be pulled for any line replacement that crosses the road right-of-way.
