Q: Why does my main sewer line keep clogging?

• <div><p>Main sewer lines can clog for several reasons. For example, if you regularly dump oil or grease down your drain, it could eventually block your line. Sometimes, tree roots can penetrate and grow inside old sewer pipes, creating a major blockage. Flushing bulky items (like paper towels, diapers, or baby wipes) can also clog your plumbing system.</p></div>

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: What is the difference between a one-way cleanout and a two-way cleanout?

• <div><p>With a one-way cleanout, you can access your sewer line from one direction. Depending on the way it curves, a plumber can either access the side of the pipe that goes into your home or the side that goes to your yard. On the other hand, two-way cleanouts allow pros to access both sides of the sewer line, thanks to their dual-pipe design (they&rsquo;re usually U-shaped).</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: What tools are used for sewer clearing?

• <div><p>Professionals use augers, hydrojetting equipment, and cameras for precise clearing and inspection.</p></div>
