How much does a sewer line clog cost?

• <div><p>Ideally, you might find that you only need to clean the sewer line or remove a clog from the main line. That costs $200 to $300. However, “<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-clear-a-main-sewer-line-clog.htm">sewer main clogs can cost</a> upwards of $1,000 to clear, depending on what is causing the clog, distance from accessible cleanouts to the clog, and whether there is occupied space below the clogged line (apartment buildings, condos, etc.),” says Botelho.</p></div>

How do I stop sludge buildup in my sewer line?

• <div><p>Your sewer line can get grimy quickly. To prevent sludge buildup in your sewer line, pour a mixture of 1/3 cup of vinegar and 1/3 cup of baking soda down each drain in your home once a month. After about 30 minutes, flush the drain with hot water.</p><p>Some plumbers recommend 3/4 cup of bleach instead to clean any germs and bacteria that may build up in your sewer line. But this won’t break down any active clogs, and it cannot be combined with vinegar, as the mixture will create a toxic, hazardous gas.</p></div>

Q: Can I clear a blockage myself without calling a professional?

• <div><p>Simple blockages can be cleared using household plungers or manual snakes, provided no severe plumbing issues exist.</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 you remove a drain without crosshairs?

• <div><p>If your drain doesn&rsquo;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.</p></div>

This company is wonderful. They go out of their way to help. They arrive on time and are very thorough with their cleaning. I had them do a deep clean the first time and they took everything out of my kitchen cupboards and wiped everything down. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Ideally, you might find that you only need to clean the sewer line or remove a clog from the main line. That costs $200 to $300. However, “sewer main clogs can cost upwards of $1,000 to clear, depending on what is causing the clog, distance from accessible cleanouts to the clog, and whether there is occupied space below the clogged line (apartment buildings, condos, etc.),” says Botelho.

Simple blockages can be cleared using household plungers or manual snakes, provided no severe plumbing issues exist.

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.
