• <div><p>It&rsquo;ll take <b>20 to 30 minutes</b> to unclog a sewer line using a drain snake or drain cleaner.

Q: How deep is the average sewer line?

• <div><p>Anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep. Your depth depends on soil and weather conditions in your area. If you live in a colder region, your lines are likely to be deeper than the lines of those living in warmer regions. Contact your local sanitation department or wastewater control board to get the plans for your system and find out for sure how deep your sewer lines are buried.</p></div>

Q: Do sewer clearing services include inspections?

• <div><p>Yes, many services include camera inspections to identify the cause of the blockage. Confirm with your provider.</p></div>

Q: Why does my whole house smell like cat pee?
