"I contacted Ben Franklin after another company kept putting me off for a month. It was always "we're booked up now, maybe next week." But Ben Franklin (BF) immediately sent someone to give me a free estimate. The price was close to the other company so I went with BF and they started the project immediately. The original plan was to just clean out the line between my home and the city sewer system. They began Feb. 1, but they discovered major problems where my pipes meet the city's. It involved digging up the street and completely replacing my pipes. BF coordinated with the city, so I didn't have to do it. It was a major job and they worked all day in a cold, constant rain. When they had not completed the job by Friday, Feb. 5, I figured we would be without plumbing the entire weekend, but they surprised us by showing up early Saturday morning and worked all day, once again in a cold rain, and completed the job that night because, according to the crew chief, they wanted us to finally have plumbing that works. Shane kept me constantly updated along the way. Friendly, professional crew. Good work. I hope this review isn't too long but other plumbing companies I've dealt with don't seem real interested in actually working! Ben Franklin, however, is eager to work. I'm happy to enthusiastically recommend Ben Franklin."

"The Cahaba Plumbing representative arrived on time and worked very hard to clean a 107-year-old sewer line that was full of small roots. The sewer cleaning blade got stuck in the sewer line and it took a lot of effort to get it free. I was pleased with the diligence and professionalism of this company and would use them again.

"After trying to get to unclogged with the electric snake, the technician showed my brother and I the problem that was root cause of our problem. Old pipes, bad configuration, and poor inspection. After D&G finish the work the drins runs smooth. D&G were professionals they made sure they explained what they were doing and why and cleaned up before they left our home. I will be calling them again and will recommend them to my family & friends. ( I must say this was on a holiday weekend),"

Sewer Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, hiring a drain cleaner is worth it, especially when compared to the cost of not being able to use a sink, shower, toilet, or bathtub and the potential damage that flooding can cause in your home. You might try a temporary drain cleaning liquid or snaking it yourself, but if the clog is out of reach or these methods do not work, then hiring a professional drain cleaner is the way to go.

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.

Snaking a drain can take as little as a few minutes for small, simple clogs, up to two hours or more for tough clogs located further down the drain line. For tougher clogs, a professional drain cleaner can likely get the job done much more quickly because they have the necessary tools and expertise. However, your drain cleaning pro might not be able to give you a firm time estimate until inspecting the clog and its surrounding plumbing.

Some experts estimate that descaling your cast iron pipes can extend their lifetime by upwards of 50 years, although there’s not a lot of research to prove it. But we do know that without proper maintenance, cast iron pipes can quickly rust—leading to more expensive issues like burst pipes or main line clogs.

An active cleaning agent and a drain snake is the best way to clean a main sewer line. You can purchase a regular or enzyme drain cleaner or make a DIY drain cleaner with baking soda. Use your chosen solution at least once a month or as needed to keep your sewer line clear.
