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 it take to clear a commercial drain blockage?

• <div><p>Most blockages can be cleared in 1-3 hours, but severe issues may take longer.</p></div>

Q: Why am I smelling sewer gas in my kitchen?

• <div><p>You could be smelling sewer gas in your kitchen because of a dry P-trap, clogged vent pipe, or leaking plumbing seals. If you smell a rotten egg odor, check your sink&rsquo;s P-trap and plumbing connections first. A clogged or damaged vent pipe can trap sewer gas and push it back into your kitchen through the plumbing pipes. Loose or deteriorated seals around drainpipes can also allow sewer gas to leak out. If you can&rsquo;t find the source, call a local plumber for expert help.</p></div>

Q: What tools are commonly used by professionals to clear blockages?

• <div><p>Professional tools include drain snakes, hydro jets, cameras for line inspection, and enzymatic or chemical cleaners for dissolution.</p></div>

Q: Are sewer cameras worth it?

• <div><p>Yes. Sewer cameras are invaluable tools that can help pros safely diagnose problems with your septic system. Without a camera to look into your system, septic issue diagnoses would be a combination of guessing and past experience. However, a camera can help confirm ideas that your pro may already have about what&rsquo;s wrong.</p></div>
