"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),"

"It was expensive but I think it was about $200. But you know who your repair, when it's coming, they're in uniform and you don't have any but cracks.

I've actually used them since, I've had them here 99 and I've used that company since then when I've needed plumbing repairs. 
I've never been disappointed, they come promptly. There's never an after hour service charge, there's lots of things that have drawn me back plus they do the work correctly and clean up after themselves."

"Owner responded quickly and was very detail oriented. Diagnosed issues present and conducted work promptly. Cleaned out sewer drain line, dug up and repaired a section of it along with repairing a couple other miscellaneous plumbing issues that were present. Will definitely be calling him back in the future for any plumbing work necessary."

Sewer Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

One way to save money on sewer lines is to install a sewer cleanout since it makes sewer line maintenance easier. Keeping up with maintenance is key to reducing the cost of repairs, so be sure to schedule annual plumbing inspections, install drain guards to stop objects from accidentally falling down drains, and only flush human waste and toilet paper to protect your pipes.

If you’re wondering whether rats can come up the toilet, the unfortunate answer is yes, it’s possible, though it’s extremely rare. These rodents are excellent swimmers and can travel through sewer pipes in search of food, and they may follow plumbing lines leading to your home if they’re drawn by the scent of scraps and waste. The toilet’s U-bend holds a small pocket of air, which can help a rat catch its breath before making its final push into your bathroom. While more common in cities with larger rat populations, this can happen anywhere with connected sewer systems; sealing entry points and keeping drains clean can help reduce the risk.

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.

It can take anywhere from one month to a couple of years for tree roots to grow back in sewer lines. Tree roots can cause extreme havoc on your sewer lines, potentially cracking them and causing untreated wastewater to make its way into the groundwater. Have a landscaping pro remove trees and roots before installing your system, or call a pro to do it retroactively as soon as you can.

Some flushable wipes companies say they are designed to disintegrate within a few hours to a few days after being flushed. These wipes allegedly use materials that are more water-soluble than traditional wipes. However, many experts have raised concerns that even so-called "flushable" wipes do not break down as easily as claimed and can contribute to clogs and blockages in sewer systems.

To prevent plumbing and sewer problems, avoid flushing wipes, even those labeled as flushable. Instead, dispose of them in the trash. This can help prevent costly plumbing issues and reduce the strain on wastewater treatment systems.
