"Removed p-trap, and ran a snake into the main bathroom's sink drain, but was unable to clear clog due to the poor condition of the old plumbing. However, effort is appreciated and commended because the stench coming from the drain was unbearable. Recommended replacement of santi within wall, and provided estimate. Same procedure was followed to clear clog in sink drain of second bathroom. Although I was disappointed that it was against the service provider's policy to snake the drains from the vent pipes via the roof, one of the drains was cleared, and a good effort was made to clear the other."

"Original pipe slope is minimal so build up and back up has been an issue and it’s very time consuming to clear. Jenri was here on time and immediately went to work. He was exceptionally polite and despite the nature of plumbing kept work space very clean. Clean and put everything back when he was done. VERY HAPPY WITH WORK AND EXTREMELY GRATEFUL!"

"The girls in the office our exceptional! They keep you informed every step of the way. Daniel oversaw the entire project replacing all sewage lines. What a professional, he was polite, on time and answered every question and always showed us the process every step of the way. There were 5-7 guys daily working on this huge project. All professional and polite. It took 8 days. After the completion they had a professional cleaning company come into our home to clean it. They did there best to keep everything covered an confined but dust was inevitable. Cant say enough about this Company EXCEPTIONAL!"

"The Sewer Boyz did a fantastic job, the owner Jonathan is very professional on his work and much patience explaining in detail the process. In the past, he’s also done major plumbing, sewer repairs at our rentals. He is very professional and is very clean after all the work is completed. I recommend Sewer Boyz for any plumbing issues anyone might have. Thank you Sewer Boyz for all the hard work you have done for us.."

"David came out after hours to clear a badly clogged drain for us, and we couldn?t be more grateful. We had water backing up and were really stressed, but he arrived quickly, was very professional, and explained everything clearly. He used hydro jetting to thoroughly clean the line, and you could immediately tell the difference ? the drain has been flowing perfectly ever since. What really stood out was his attitude and work ethic. Even though it was late, he took his time to do the job right and made sure everything was clean before leaving. Fair pricing, honest service, and top-notch work. Highly recommend David for any drain or sewer issues!"

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

There is conflicting advice on whether to leave a baking soda and vinegar mixture in a drain overnight. Some sources suggest it can be effective for tough clogs, recommending that you flush the drain with warm water in the morning as part of a monthly cleaning routine. However, other experts advise against leaving the mixture in for extended periods, as its caustic nature could corrode drainpipes if used too often or left in for too long.

If you’re wondering whether rats can come up the toilet, the unfortunate answer is yes, it’s possible, though it’s extremely rare. These rodents are excellent swimmers and can travel through sewer pipes in search of food, and they may follow plumbing lines leading to your home if they’re drawn by the scent of scraps and waste. The toilet’s U-bend holds a small pocket of air, which can help a rat catch its breath before making its final push into your bathroom. While more common in cities with larger rat populations, this can happen anywhere with connected sewer systems; sealing entry points and keeping drains clean can help reduce the risk.

The cost to clean a sewer line is about $370, ranging from about $190 to $550 on average. The specific cleaning method and the problem's severity will impact the project's overall cost. Some of the most common sewer line cleaning methods include:

  • Snaking or rodding: $100–$250

  • Hydrojetting: $350–$600

  • Chemical treatments: $600–$1,000

  • Repair or replacement: $1,000–$7,500

If you’ll be digging up your floor to get access to your pipes when putting in a sewer backflow preventer, this would also be a good time to take care of any other plumbing issues or renovations. For example, you could install additional pipes for a basement bathroom. Since the floor will be sealed over with concrete when you’re done, now’s a good time to take care of those bigger tasks.

Costs depend on clog severity, pipe condition, equipment required, and labor.
