"Weâ ve been having an issue with our sewer backing up. We had Evan come out and he was able to use a camera and locate roots growing through the sewer pipe crushing it. He absolutely knows what heâ s doing. I would recommend him to anyone. Thankyou again Evan"

"Carmelo did an excellent job on installing a gas fitting for my new dryer. He installed the fittings and got my dryer hooked up. He went above and beyond and also helped me light my pilot light on my water heater! He explained what he would do, performed the work and cleaned up after himself! Great job Carmelo!"

"Adam is amazing. He came by same day and handled business. He is very knowledgeable about plumbing and it shows. He helped educate me on the health of my pipe systems and encouraged me to move forward with high pressure snaking which cleared out the obstructions and got our plumbing back. So grateful to have been helped by Adam!"

"I couldn't be happier with the service I received! From the moment I called, everyone was professional, friendly, and incredibly helpful. The crew arrived on time, explained everything they were doing, and made the entire septic clean-out process quick and stress free. They were honest, respectful of my property, and left everything clean when they were finished. It's hard to find companies these days that truly care about their customers, but this team went above and beyond. Their customer service and work ethic were outstanding. I highly recommend them to anyone needing septic services. I'll definitely be using them again in the future. Thank you for such an amazing experience!"

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

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.  

As a preventative measure, hydro jetting should be done every one to two years. However, the best practice is to hydro jet your sewer line once per year. The ideal frequency depends on several factors, including the age and condition of your pipes, how prone they are to clogging, how often the sewer line is used, and the type of waste disposed of in the system. If you frequently experience clogs or are unsure, it's best to ask a licensed plumber for a recommendation specific to your plumbing system.

Main sewer lines can clog for several reasons. For example, if you regularly dump oil or grease down your drain, it could eventually block your line. Sometimes, tree roots can penetrate and grow inside old sewer pipes, creating a major blockage. Flushing bulky items (like paper towels, diapers, or baby wipes) can also clog your plumbing system.

The type of clog in your sewer main determines the required cleaning method. Different types or methods of sewer main cleaning require various tools like chemicals, mechanical removal, or a combination of both. Some of the most common types of sewer main line cleaning include:

  • Minor debris removal: $100–$600

  • Tree root removal: $100–$1,000

  • Trenchless pipe repair: $60–$250 per linear foot

  • General line repairs: $1,000–$4,000

  • Full pipe replacement: $3,000–$25,000

It is generally safe to stay in a house that smells like sewage for a short time, but you should get the problem fixed as soon as possible. While the level of sewer gas is usually low enough to only cause minor symptoms, prolonged inhalation can lead to headaches, nausea, or respiratory irritation. High levels of gas exposure can be more dangerous, and high concentrations of methane—a component of sewer gas—can pose an explosion risk in enclosed spaces. If you smell sewer gas in your home, ventilate the area and call a professional to locate, assess, and fix the problem, as it will not go away on its own.
