"Dealing with Plumbing Plus was very pleasant. They answered my request promptly, and sent a plumber out promptly. Darryl was extremely knowledgable and helpful, and we decided on a project . I was surprised by the quote, as another companies was MUCH higher. The following day the project seemed to take a little longer than expected and some unforeseen obstacles presented themself. I was elated that this did not affect the original bid and am completely satisfied the the work and all around personality of Darryl. I would highly recommend plumbing plus to anyone."

"We had a stubborn clog in our main sewer line, that we were unable to reach with a snake. I decided to call California Plumbing based on their reviews, and I’m so glad I did! The technician used hydro-jetting equipment and cleared the line quickly. They even did a complimentary camera of our line and found no other issues. The price was reasonable for such an extensive service. Definitely will use them again!"

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Service! Highly Recommend! I can’t say enough good things about this plumber! I had a major sewer main blockage that was causing a big headache, and he showed up quickly, diagnosed the problem right away, and got everything cleared fast. He explained everything in detail so I actually understood what was going on, and his honesty and professionalism really stood out. Not only did he do an amazing job, but his price was very fair compared to other quotes I received — no hidden fees, no upselling, just straight-up great service. You can tell he truly cares about helping his customers and takes pride in his work. If you’re looking for a plumber who’s reliable, skilled, and honest, this is the guy to call. I’ll definitely be recommending him to everyone I know and keeping his number saved for the future!"

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Homeowners insurance usually doesn’t cover sewer backups because it’s typically an avoidable problem with proper maintenance. The only exception would be if the backup is occurring because of local flooding and only if your city uses a combined drainage system for stormwater and sewage. If that’s the case, your policy should cover any resulting damage.

The average cost to snake your main sewer line is around $250 for a simple snake. Most sewer line specialists charge between $45 and $200 per hour for main sewer line snaking, so the time involved plays a major role. The price you’ll pay will depend on the severity of the clog, the item causing the backup, how long it takes to remove the item, and more. A more severe issue that requires unclogging a main sewer line will cost $3,100 on average.

It's advisable to have your sewer line inspected every three to five years to ensure its proper functioning and detect any potential issues early on. However, the frequency of inspections can vary based on factors such as the age of your sewer system, the type of pipes used, and your property's location. If you notice any warning signs like slow drains, foul odors, or sewage backups, it's essential to schedule an inspection promptly, regardless of the regular maintenance schedule. 

Bleach isn’t likely to help unclog a sewer line. Bleach isn’t useful in this situation because it won’t dissolve the grime and debris in the clog. Instead, you want to use ingredients that will have a chemical reaction to clear out the buildup, like vinegar or salt and baking soda.

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).
