We had our 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom house cleaned. It was just a standard cleaning and not a deep clean, but they did an excellent job. Best cleaner we've used so far, and I'm very picky. Our house even smelled nicer (and not just like cleaning products). The price is a little high for us...

Freedom Heating & CoolingThe cleaning was very good.
Two Maids & A MopI found Act One on Angie's list and then went to their website for more info. I was looking for someone to deep clean a home rather than just surface clean with detergent and a wet rag. The owner called me back and we arranged the first cleaning for a few of the rooms, especially the kitchen....

With over 27 years of experience, Bama Leak Detection Specializes in Plumbing Leak detection and pipe repair.
"Bama Leak Detection, with Bryan and his crew, did a very good job in difficult circumstances to find leaks in over 1000 feet of water line. After an assessment of those leaks, a decision was reached to replace rather than repair the line. The new line was trenched and completed in 2 days during cold and wet weather. All work was very professional, and Bryan explained the whole process before, during and after keeping me informed along the way. I would use Bama Leak detection again for ANY PLUMBING NEEDS."

In most states, companies that perform sewer cleaning services don’t need specific licensing, but you should always ensure you hire a licensed and certified plumber to get the work done. You can use our state licensing tool to check whether the potential sewer cleaning company holds a plumber’s certification and license. Hiring a certified sewer cleaning services guarantees that the work will be done safely, there won’t be additional damage done to your home, and the problem will be fixed.
The average cost to snake your main sewer line is around $250 for a simple snake. Most sewer line specialists charge between $45 and $200 per hour for main sewer line snaking, so the time involved plays a major role. The price you’ll pay will depend on the severity of the clog, the item causing the backup, how long it takes to remove the item, and more. A more severe issue that requires unclogging a main sewer line will cost $3,100 on average.
There are a few signs of a clog in your main sewer line that you should keep in mind.
Common signs of a sewer line clog:
Multiple fixtures in your home drain slowly
Drains in your home gurgle during or after draining
Water backs up into your sewer line cleanout
You notice foul odors in your home
The best way to confirm that your main sewer line is clogged is to hire a professional plumber to assess the situation and use a camera to inspect the inside.
In most cases, drain cleaners will not clear a clogged sewer line, and they’re likely to damage your plumbing. Sewer lines are several inches wide, meaning any material that clogs it will need to be large. Drain cleaner can work on small clogs, but it usually won’t clear a larger one in a sewer main. Drain cleaners can also easily damage and corrode your plumbing with prolonged contact, and a clog will keep the cleaner in contact with the pipes for an extended period. Hire a professional sewer cleaner instead for a safe fix.
You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.
