"Check the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and Yelp!! Paid $1700 to unclog the main sewer line, then was ignored when trying to contact them. Mike showed up and got sewer line flowing, but as this was a recurring problem, I asked them to diagnose the damage for a full repair quote. They sent a camera to see the damage, but it did not go far, so they started hydro jetting to clear the obstruction which would allow the camera to go further. The hydro jet stopped at the same spot as the camera and I was charged $1700 for it. Quoted over $12000 to do the rest of the work. Ultimately, no additional information other than something is blocking it and we can not see what it is. It is going to cost $12k to get down and fix it. Your bill is $1700 for what we tried to do I called to get a partial refund as the check was cashed immediately, only to be ignored from that point on. I checked Yelp, BBB, and got a second opinion. I was charged 9 times what the work was worth."

The quote was thorough, the workers were prompt and kept all areas as clean as possible, and their explanations of what was scheduled each day very informative. Accurate is a splendid outfit."

"I was charged $985.00 for 1 hour of work and a fitting. I let him know I was recently widowed. After reading the Yelp reviews, this seems to be a pattern of overcharging women. He did give me an estimate which I balked about, he told me there was a lot of digging. I assumed there would be several hours of work. Nope. 1 hour and a fitting. A friend from my Church talked to several plumbers first, then called to complain. Rick told him too bad, I had been given an estimate. He should be ashamed of himself."

We're a local family owned small business specializing in service and repair plumbing. Water heaters, disposals, gas line repair, drain cleaning and all types of plumbing repair is our specialty. Some septic repair as well. We accept cash, check, credit card and paypal. We're located in Magalia and service all of Butte county.

"Dan is the 'real deal'. My husband and I were ready to give up on fixing a converter issue as we had two plumbers out previously via our HO Warranty. They did nothing. Within days, the problem was back again. Dan took time and care and examined all, and when we still had an issue, he was able to pin point it to a simple loose screw. How about that for professionalism? He installed new pipes for a reasonable price. Highly recommend Dan and Plumbline Plumbing."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Toilet paper is the only material that you should flush down toilets. Other items like wipes, paper towels, feminine hygiene products, dental floss, and medications should be disposed of in the trash. Flushing these items can lead to plumbing issues and damage to sewage systems. Grease and cooking oils should also be avoided as they can solidify in pipes, causing blockages. Proper disposal helps prevent clogs and ensures the efficient operation of wastewater treatment systems while protecting the environment.

In most states, companies that perform sewer cleaning services don’t need specific licensing, but you should always ensure you hire a licensed and certified plumber to get the work done. You can use our state licensing tool to check whether the potential sewer cleaning company holds a plumber’s certification and license. Hiring a certified sewer cleaning services guarantees that the work will be done safely, there won’t be additional damage done to your home, and the problem will be fixed.

The cost to repair a main sewer line clog is about $3,110 on average. The average cost range is  $1,310 to $4,950, but it can go as low as $215 and as high as $9,300 or more. The cost factors for this repair include the severity of the clog, pipe accessibility, video inspection, removal method, permits, pipe material, labor rates in your area, and time of year. Repairs made from outside during the winter can be more difficult due to the frozen ground or during the spring if the ground is saturated from a lot of rain and snow melt.

A sewer line should be cleaned at least once every 18 to 22 months. The process takes about 30 minutes or up to 5 hours, depending on the size of the line, how easy it is to access, and how long it’s been since the previous cleaning. If your sewer line hasn’t been cleaned in a couple of years or you don’t even know the last time it’s been cleaned, it’s time to call a pro.

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.
