Q: How often should you hydro jet your sewer line?

• <div><p>The best practice is to hydro jet your sewer line once per year. However, there are several factors that can affect this recommendation, including the age and condition of your pipes, how often your sewer line is used, and the type of waste disposed of in the system. When in doubt, ask a licensed plumber for their recommendation for your plumbing system. </p></div>

Q: How do you remove a drain without crosshairs?

• <div><p>If your drain doesn&rsquo;t have metal crosshairs or crossbars, you should use a tub drain extractor. These tools create a grip on the drain so you can turn it using a 1/2-inch ratchet drive, drain key, or wrench. Your drain may not have crosshairs if it's old and broken.</p></div>

Q: How long does sewer clearing take?

• <div><p>Clearing typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the blockage size and location.</p></div>

Q: Is a clogged sewer line covered by insurance?

• <div><p>A clogged sewer line is not typically covered by homeowner&rsquo;s insurance, though some sewer line issues are covered. For instance, damage related to a fallen tree is usually covered. Though sewer line replacement is not covered in a standard insurance policy, some companies offer add-ons for this purpose. Read the fine print before spending your own money.</p></div>

Q: Is a sewer smell outside dangerous?

• <div><p>Sewer gas in any location can cause eye and respiratory irritation if you&rsquo;re exposed at low levels, or more severe symptoms if you&rsquo;re exposed at high levels&mdash;but fortunately, the fresh air outside means it&rsquo;s less likely to affect your physical health. However, sewer smells outside can still indicate significant plumbing problems that will need to be dealt with, such as a potentially damaged sewer line or roof vent pipe.</p></div>

Arrived on time, worked hard and systematically, finished on time and the clean up as well as the tree removal was fantastic. A 45 foot pine tree removed to the stump and my backyard was clean as a whistle!
