Will drain cleaner clear a clogged sewer line?

• <div><p>In most cases, drain cleaners will not clear a clogged sewer line, and they’re likely to damage your plumbing. Sewer lines are several inches wide, meaning any material that clogs it will need to be large. Drain cleaner can work on small clogs, but it usually won’t clear a larger one in a sewer main. Drain cleaners can also easily damage and corrode your plumbing with prolonged contact, and a clog will keep the cleaner in contact with the pipes for an extended period. Hire a professional sewer cleaner instead for a safe fix.</p></div>

Q: How long does a sewer inspection take?

• <div><p>Your sewer pro will take about an hour to complete your sewer line camera inspection. However, if your home does not have cleanout access and the pro needs to remove the toilet to access the sewer line, the time to completion will take longer. Note that this estimated time does not include the time for repair, drain cleaning, or any other services you may need. </p><p> </p></div>

Q: How do I get rid of a sewer smell in my crawl space?

• <div><p>To get rid of a sewer smell in your crawl space, you&rsquo;ll have to find the source of the problem. If it has to do with your sewer lines, then repairing the line will help. You may need to make other repairs, like fixing your sump pump or encapsulating your crawl space to reduce moisture. After you make the repair, depending on the issue, you may still need to clean out your crawl space to get rid of the stink. </p></div>

Q: How do you get rid of roots in a main sewer line?

• <div><p>You should hire a sewer service professional to unclog a main sewer line with tree roots. Tree roots can grow into the main sewer line, and this problem requires a specialized hydro jet, or rooter, that is powerful enough to clear the roots. The tree can also damage the main sewer line, and a professional will need to make repairs or replace the damaged sections. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-sewer-line-replacement-or-repair-cost.htm">Sewer line replacement costs</a> about $60 to $250 per linear foot. </p></div>

Q: How often should a sewer line be cleaned?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-should-i-clean-my-sewer-drain.htm">sewer line should be cleaned</a> at least once every 18 to 22 months. The process takes about 30 minutes or up to 5 hours, depending on the size of the line, how easy it is to access, and how long it&rsquo;s been since the previous cleaning. If your sewer line hasn&rsquo;t been cleaned in a couple of years or you don&rsquo;t even know the last time it&rsquo;s been cleaned, it&rsquo;s time to call a pro. </p></div>
