"Jonathan Zavala and his team are amazing!! We recently bought a house which we knew needed a little plumbing work. Of course it's every home owner's nightmare when a "little" work turns out to be a lot! We really thought we'd be stuck dealing with plumbing repairs for weeks, but Jonathan and his crew knocked out the major work we ended up needing in mere hours. We also ended up paying 25% less than other plumbers quoted. They even dealt with our nosy and cranky neighbors extremely professionally, which we really appreciated. I am blown away with the efficiency and competence of The Sewer Boyz. Easily the best hire we've made, and I will never hire another plumber again! I told Jonathan he's stuck with us for life now, haha. We will refer all of our friends and family without hesitation. If you are looking for an honest, skilled, fast, and reliable plumber, you won't find a better one than The Sewer Boyz. Just hire them and thank me later :)"

"We had a major sewer main blockage at our home and it turned out to be caused by heavy root intrusion. Mike, the technician, did an excellent job diagnosing the issue quickly and explaining everything in a way that was easy to understand. He showed us what he found and recommended hydro jetting to properly clear the line. Mike was very professional, thorough, and made sure the sewer line was completely cleaned out before finishing. The hydro jetting worked perfectly and everything has been flowing great since. On top of that, the price was very reasonable for the amount of work and the level of service we received. I really appreciate the honesty, quality work, and peace of mind. Highly recommend Mike if you?re dealing with a sewer blockage!"

"Kevin did not stop at one pass through. He ran a second snake through to make sure it was clear. He patiently explained to me the location and state of the sewer pipe, and even performed a free camera inspection."

"McLay Services did an excellent job on the preventative maintenance for my A/C system. Dylan was professional, courteous, and thorough throughout the visit. He replaced two air filters, cleaned the coils, and checked all electrical components to make sure everything was running safely and efficiently. My unit is now healthy and fully operational. I really appreciate the quality of work and attention to detail — I'd definitely recommend McLay Services to my friends and family!"

"David snaked our kitchen sink and did so quietly, efficiently and with ease. He was very careful to not dirty, wet our floors or the space underneath the sink utilizing double duty plastic bags and a great many sizable rags to efficiently clean a 50 foot snake covered in grease and grime. He"

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.

Thankfully, it’s pretty rare to find a rat in your toilet. It’s more likely in larger cities with big sewer systems that can be feeding grounds for rats, but even then, you still shouldn’t fret. 

“I wouldn’t worry too much about rats coming up through the sewers,” Bradshaw says. “I’d say only one out of a thousand rodent customers we get actually have this problem. And of the 20 or some customers that have had this happen, they’ve all only had just one rat come up this way.”

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.

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.  

Unlike regular cleanings, snaking your sewer line should be done as needed. There’s no reason to snake your sewer line if you don’t have any noticeable issues, like slow drainage or plugged drains. You can add it to your regular sewer cleaning checklist as a prevention method (on the same 18- to 22-month schedule), but it’s not always necessary.
