"Our front yard was a muddy mess. We had a Liquid Amber Tree removed by another company we thought was the culprit for the mess. It did solve one leak, however, we had a much larger leak still! Ugh!! Well, Honest Sewer & Drain's Dustin Heffington talked to us on the phone in length determining the company could help us with our absolute muddy mess and leak! Within just an hour of Dustin working on the problem, the leak was found and the solution was told to us. Dustin did an excellent job. He was very thorough and professional. By the end of the day, the leak was repaired and the ground cleaned up. Thank you very much!! If you need a plumber, do not hesitate to contact Honest Sewer and Drain!"

"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!"

"I can't say enough good things about Ryan Murrary, the owner of Murray Plumbing. Ryan and his assistant Dayton. I needed his help installing a new disposal in my kitchen sink. He and Dayton were at my house the very next day installing and correcting the previous plumbers installations mistakes. Ryan and Dayton are very knowledgeable guys when it comes to anything dealing with Plumbing. They finished their work in short time. Cleaned up after themselves and were very polite. They went out of their way to help me and to be sure I was satisfied with work. Murray Plumbing is the one to call for all your plumbing needs. You won't be disappointed. I can assure of that."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

No, you should not see water in a sewer cleanout. If you do, it could indicate that you have a block or leak in your main sewer line—which can cause sewage to back up inside your home and potentially flood your yard. Your best bet is to call a local sewer cleaner if you notice any water or sewage around your cleanout.

If your drain doesn’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.

In the majority of cases, homeowners insurance will not cover a main sewer line root clog. The reason is that most insurance companies consider tree root damage to sewer lines as common wear and tear, which is also preventable. However, you may be able to buy optional add-on coverage, such as "service line coverage" or "sewer line endorsements," that would protect against root damage to your sewer line.

While some chemical drain cleaners with hydrochloric acid can dissolve hair, this method is not recommended as it can also destroy your plumbing pipes. A common DIY alternative is using baking soda and vinegar, which can help break down the clog but will not actually dissolve the hair. The best and safest method for clearing a hair clog is to remove it manually. You can use a drain snake, a straightened wire hanger with pliers to fish out the clog, or have a plumber use a professional auger for more severe blockages.

There are a few things that can happen to your sewer system if you don’t fix it. These include rainwater entering it and causing rust and corrosion, dirt and debris leading to blockages, small animals getting stuck inside and clogging your sewer line or entering your home, and shortening the sewer system’s life span. 

Without a cap, nothing prevents toxic and non-toxic gasses like methane and hydrogen sulfide from slowly escaping your sewer system and entering your home and the surrounding atmosphere, resulting in a foul sewer odor throughout your house.
