"I would highly recommend Evans plumbing to everyone! Chris came to clear out our whole house sewer blockage.. He went above and beyond what was requested. He was very helpful with suggestions about what we could do to stop further problems in the future. The pricing was fair and there were no additional or hidden costs. When the job was finished he cleaned up so well that you could not tell there had just been a problem."

"New Flow was very patient and explained the problem clearly and succinctly in simple, understandable language. I have no knowledge about sewers and clean-outs. New Flow showed me their monitor carefully explaining every step until the camera reached the end of the line."

"Talked to Carl. About an estimate and he came out the following day. He assessed the problem we were having and explain what was going on. He asked some questions regarding the toilet and suggested the best solution would be to replace it. We scheduled a date for the removal and replacement and he would procure the necessary items to complete the job. After the install, he checked for leaks made sure it operated as advertised and the the work area was cleaned. All in all, it was very pleasant experience and I would use hime again."

"Tito and Palani came out today to service my bathtub spout leak and bathroom sink leak. They also checked my hot water pressure in my kitchen sink and master bathroom. They were both professional, personable, and efficient. Tito is very knowledgeable and explained everything as they performed the work and even checked out some of my other fixtures based on me telling him what I was experiencing. They quickly got to work and fixed both leaks. I definitely recommend using Lateral Cleaning Specialist. I chose using them versus my home warranty company who had assigned me another company with an F rating on the BBB website. This is my 4th time using LCS and they always come through for me. Try them."

"I had a clogged main line. I desperately just wanted a shower but I was terrified of the havoc that it would create at my home. I needed a plumber ASAP. Mr. Ramsey arrived within minutes, cleared up the problem and was on his way. He was very nice and incredibly efficient. I will definitely call him again if I have a plumbing issue."

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.

First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap—you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don’t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart.

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.

Ejector pumps can only push sewage 750 feet or less. That’s because their purpose is to move waste from your home to your sewer line—which is a relatively short distance. Grinder pumps can transport sewage further, but they manage lower volumes of waste than ejector pumps (and they don’t work with septic systems).

It’ll take 20 to 30 minutes to unclog a sewer line using a drain snake or drain cleaner. If you hire a professional, you should expect them to be on-site for three hours or less. In addition to clearing the clog, they’ll do other routine inspections, which adds to the overall time (and cost) required.
