"Jess was did a fantastic job installing a sewer clean out for us. We had a major backup, sewage had backed up into the tubs and he came out on a Sunday to address our emergency. He was very communicative and explained the whole process. I will definitely hire him for all our future plumbing needs!"

"It was a pleasure being able to have Robert come out to help with my family s water heater issues. He was very friendly and is a well experienced plumber (I believe he told me 20 years as a licensed plumber). Response time was excellent, same day service, and the cost of service was more reasonable than any other estimates we received. I would highly recommend Robert and Drain Right to my friends or family, and I will be reaching out for his plumbing services again if I ever encounter any plumbing issues while I m still living in the Bay Area."

"This contractor performed the service efficiently, and provided the analysis and options for the sewer line. I felt he was honest with the options and did not try to sell additional services that were not warranted, in my opinion."

"Wilmer is very professional and friendly. He was the first one responding to our query. He sent us a message and also called us and left voice message. Once he arrived, he looked at the problem and told me his solution. He answered all my questions. He and his teammate cleared the main sewer pipe. After that, we tested with no issues. I am very satisfied his service. Will work him again in the future. Thanks very much! Yi"

"We had a drain backing up in our garage, so we called In and Out Plumbing (after having an estimate done by another plumber, who said we needed some major upgrades costing upward of $1800!). In and Out did a free estimate (but jumped right to work) and snaked the drain after doing a few diagnostics. They came out about 1.5 hours after I called and about 3 hours after I called, I no longer had a back-up in my garage! I forgot to use my Angie's List coupon, but even so, it was worth it for fast, efficient service."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

No, you should not see water in a sewer cleanout. If you do, it could indicate that you have a block or leak in your main sewer line—which can cause sewage to back up inside your home and potentially flood your yard. Your best bet is to call a local sewer cleaner if you notice any water or sewage around your cleanout.

If you want to avoid using a snake to unclog a drain, or if you don’t have one, try vinegar and baking soda. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of white vinegar. Wait for 15 minutes, and then run hot water (but not boiling water) down the drain to see if the clog is clear. Repeat multiple times as needed.

It is generally safe to stay in a house that smells like sewage for a short time, but you should get the problem fixed as soon as possible. While the level of sewer gas is usually low enough to only cause minor symptoms, prolonged inhalation can lead to headaches, nausea, or respiratory irritation. High levels of gas exposure can be more dangerous, and high concentrations of methane—a component of sewer gas—can pose an explosion risk in enclosed spaces. If you smell sewer gas in your home, ventilate the area and call a professional to locate, assess, and fix the problem, as it will not go away on its own.

Water leaking through your basement floor is a good sign of a clogged drain, but another sign of a clogged basement floor drain can include unpleasant odors coming from the drain. Also, hearing gurgling noises when water drains from the basement or having other plumbing fixtures (like toilets or other drains) backing up is a good indicator.

Costs range from $200 to $600, depending on the severity of the blockage and access difficulty.
