Do sewer cleaning companies need to be licensed?

• <div><p>In most states, companies that perform sewer cleaning services don’t need specific licensing, but you should always ensure you hire a licensed and certified plumber to get the work done. You can use <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">our state licensing tool</a> to check whether the potential sewer cleaning company holds a plumber’s certification and license.

What is the best way to clean a main sewer line?

• <div><p>An active cleaning agent and a drain snake is the best way to clean a main sewer line.

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: 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: Could the sewage smell be coming from my floor drain?

• <div><p>Yes, sewage smells can originate from a floor drain. If the P-Trap in the floor drain dries out or if there's a clog or other issue in the plumbing system, sewer gasses can escape through the drain, causing nasty odors. Regularly pouring water into the drain helps maintain the water seal and prevent those smells, but if the smell persists, you should have a plumbing professional inspect the drain for potential problems.</p></div>

The elections were very professional and completed the installation quickly and with minimal mess. They cleaned up after themselves and left the worksite very clean. I would use JM Electric again when I need another electrical repair!
