"Toilet resealed but shims were exposed and not very professional looking results, probably will leak in future. Light fixture was cheap, but service man complained and should've denied work, instead hung and it fell 2 hours after he left, breaking the fixture. Service man stated that they normally don't do estimates. He walked through house but gave no estimate, told him it was OK to call me back or email estimate. Emailed them 2 months ago and secretary told me that service man would call me, never did. Tried 3 times to get them to give estimate, she never stated about not giving estimates. won't use them again."

Additional DBA - Hathcock Plumbing & Electric Company Inc.

"Paid them a few years ago to put in a main drain line and during the main line replacement did they bring up an issue with the slope and distance. Fast forward to last 90 days. They have flushed the line twice, rooted it three times and have ran a camera once. Keeping track that’s 700 plus dollars. Fast forward to 14th which was the 2nd time they flushed the lines in less than 45 days. Tech tells me because of the road construction and settling the slope is no longer there, Come out on the 21st cause it’s backed up again and they ran a camera, I’m on the porch watching the city water guy is out there with him. He does his thing talks to the City guy and leaves, doesn’t say jack to me only conversation he had with me was where was a power source, the city guy tells me it’s holding water in a section of my yard, so my main line they installed has a belly in it keeping it from draining properly. So it’s not due to settling and road construction out by the road causing the slope to be off it’s due to sucky installation and now it has a belly in a section keeping it from working properly as the slope is good before and after it. And guess what now Roto Rooter will not return calls. And at no point offering a solution either. Got a solution today and it was I could put a pump in but because I had a bad attitude because of their workmanship and throwing money at a problem they won’t even touch it. At no point in the last 12 months zero recombinations were given to fix or correct the issue."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

It is safe to flush small amounts of bleach down the toilet. Don’t flush more than ¼ cup of bleach. Instead, consider diluting it and pouring it down the sink drain.

Most commercial liquid drain cleaners work in 15 to 30 minutes. Consult the label on the bottle for additional instructions or time suggestions to prevent damage to your drainpipes. Alternative solutions such as baking soda, salt, white vinegar, and/or boiling water can take longer since they are less harsh than liquid drain cleaners.

It might be possible to dissolve hair caught in a drain, but it’s usually not a good way to go about clearing the clog. Some sources mention that baking soda and vinegar can do the trick, but this won’t actually dissolve the hair. The hydrochloric acid in drain cleaners can dissolve the hair over time, but it will much more quickly destroy your plumbing pipes and leave you with bigger issues. The best way to remove hair is to do it manually with a drain snake or to have a plumber use an auger to pull clogs out.

The cost to clean a sewer line is about $370, ranging from about $190 to $550 on average. The specific cleaning method and the problem's severity will impact the project's overall cost. Some of the most common sewer line cleaning methods include:

  • Snaking or rodding: $100–$250

  • Hydrojetting: $350–$600

  • Chemical treatments: $600–$1,000

  • Repair or replacement: $1,000–$7,500

There are a few things that can happen to your sewer system if you don’t fix it. These include rainwater entering it and causing rust and corrosion, dirt and debris leading to blockages, small animals getting stuck inside and clogging your sewer line or entering your home, and shortening the sewer system’s life span. 

Without a cap, nothing prevents toxic and non-toxic gasses like methane and hydrogen sulfide from slowly escaping your sewer system and entering your home and the surrounding atmosphere, resulting in a foul sewer odor throughout your house.
