"GREAT! Juan, Giovanni, and the rest of the crew are total pros. They showed up when they were scheduled to. They did the work for what they said they would. They were respectful and informative. They replaced our main sewer from the house to the city sewer line."

"Iâ ve worked with Alvin Ramirez, All Season Rooter and Plumbing on my sisterâ s home. My experience with Alvin has been truly outstanding. As she was in a care facility and I live 400 miles away, it was a challenge. It started out as a busted water pipe emergency. Subsequently, the house water, plumbing, gas and sewer/septic pipes have required replacement. I appreciated the personal care and assistance I received from Alvin with texts, pictures and phone calls. He performed in-depth analysis of the replacement costs for her home and made sure it was updated. The work was reasonably priced. With all the concerns of the situation, Iâ m grateful to have known that Alvin has been conscientious, honest and reliable. Heâ s truly gone above and beyond to be helpful in a very stressful situation."

"I was skeptical at first of using HomeAdvisor to get more bids for work on our residential sewer lines but went ahead and accepted a connection with So-Cal Plumbing & Rooter. Jose called me immediately and his partner Alex and crew were here within half an hour. They did a thorough job diagnosing our issue and provided the most reasonable and fair bid we've seen. Once we accepted their offer, they began working straight away and returned in the morning to complete the job. We couldn't be happier with the experience and are grateful to Jose & Alex for their professionalism, honesty and thorough work. They will be our go-to plumbers from now on!"

"I contacted California Drains because my parent's home was completely backed up to the point where dirty water was coming out from the drains inside and outside their home. They promptly answered and booked me in the same day. They were able to contain the water from continuing to come out of the drains overnight and returned the next day first thing in the morning to get the problem fixed. Price was very reasonable, and the workers were very professional. Left everything clean and drains were completely cleared. It has been months since they came and there has not been an issue since. 10/10 will highly recommend to family and friends."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

If you’re not using a septic system, problems with your home’s plumbing won’t cause this—it’s a city problem. A large blockage in the municipal sewage lines may cause those lines to back up into your home. This is extremely unpleasant and can be a serious health risk due to bacteria and other contaminants. If this occurs, call a pro (or your city) immediately.

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.

When hiring a sewer line company, you need to consider more than just the quoted price. Make sure to check that the company or contractor is licensed, certified, and insured to protect you both. Check for positive reviews, and you can even request references for extra peace of mind. 

To find the best contractor, you might also want to consider how long the company has been in business doing sewer line cleaning and if they’ve won any industry awards for their work and service. Review potential contracts closely, and look for transparent pricing.

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

You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.
