"Jared responded very quickly, was very professional, and let me know that while he had other calls in front of me, I was a priority and that he would make sure he came out to fix my problem. He was up front about the process and the pricing every step of the way. My situation turned out to be much more involved than originally expected. He explained the diagnostic process so that I could understand what he was doing and why he was doing it. His work was thorough, careful, and he even insisted on cleaning up the floors throughout the house before he left. He went above and beyond and I appreciate everything he did and how exceptionally professional he was throughout! Very much worth the very reasonable cost and I will always use him for any other plumbing issue I encounter. Highly recommend!!!"

"We needed our toilet wax seal replaced, toilet fixed, and sewer clean out. Work was done timely, neatly, and best of all the cost was reasonable. We have hired SFP again for additional work."

"In March 2020, Clean Team Plumbing repiped our home and installed a tankless water heater. Brad was professional and honest. Our service technicians Artis and Lazurus were great and their workmanship was beyond reproach. All my questions and concerns were answered timely and professionally. The drywall team was top notch. Thank you Clean Team Plumbing for the great job."

"This contractor was completely professional, and was easy to talk to. We asked several questions while he was performing the work, and he took the time to answer our questions and concerns, and he explained what he was doing as he was performing the work. I would HIGHLY recommend Patrick Plumbing to anyone. As a matter of fact, I asked for business cards so that I could pass them out and hang them in prominent locations at my company's headquarters building. Just awesome work and friendly, professional service during the entire job. We will be calling Patrick Plumbing when/if we ever need plumbing work again."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Your sewer line can get grimy quickly. To prevent sludge buildup in your sewer line, pour a mixture of 1/3 cup of vinegar and 1/3 cup of baking soda down each drain in your home once a month. After about 30 minutes, flush the drain with hot water.

Some plumbers recommend 3/4 cup of bleach instead to clean any germs and bacteria that may build up in your sewer line. But this won’t break down any active clogs, and it cannot be combined with vinegar, as the mixture will create a toxic, hazardous gas.

This depends on the location of the blockage. If the blockage is in your home’s system, anywhere in the system, it is your responsibility as a homeowner. Blockages seldom happen because of items or buildup coming from the city, which means it originates in the home. It becomes the city’s responsibility at the exact point your home’s line distributes waste into the city’s system. The exception is if the problem in your home damages the city lines.  

If you leave liquid drain cleaner for too long, it will start breaking down your drainpipes. The chemicals in these cleaners can cause cracks, corrosion, and leaks in your pipes. They can also damage plumbing fixtures and even cause environmental damage if left too long without rinsing away.

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.

The cost to unclog a drain varies based on the location and severity of the clog. For simple clogs within your home, such as in a sink, toilet, or shower, hiring a plumber typically costs between $110 and $350, with an average of around $200. Snaking a toilet or sink usually costs between $110 and $275, while a bathtub or shower clog costs about $225.

For a more serious clog in the main sewer line, the cost is higher. Clearing a main line clog generally costs between $200 and $600, with an average of about $380. However, prices can range from as low as $100 for snaking a minor clog to over $1,600, particularly if advanced methods like video inspection and hydrojetting are needed for a large or hard-to-reach blockage. Some severe main line clogs can cost upwards of $1,000 to clear depending on factors like the cause of the clog, its distance from an accessible cleanout, and whether the pipe is located beneath an occupied space (e.g., in an apartment building). You may be able to save money on minor clogs by using a drain snake or bladder yourself.
