"I called A.D.B after another company was unable to clear out my main sewer line. They wanted to dig it up and repair it for around 10K. They didn't even have a camera available to check. A.D.B was able to clear it out for a reasonable price and offered great advice on what to do from there. I didn't have cracks but roots were getting in through the joints."

"My husband and I reached out to the company to repair some rotten boards we discovered on the exterior of the house. We spoke to David who was extremely responsive and quick to set up our services. The crew came a couple days later right at the time they said, the repairs are great quality, and everyone we interacted with was polite and kind. I wouldnâ t hesitate to hire them for a bigger job in the future!"

"Outstanding service and communication from start to finish. Leo Plumbing solution was excellent from the moment I scheduled the appointment Leo confirming timing, providing updates on arrival, and following through exactly as promised. He listened carefully to my concerns and repaired both my main shutoff valve and hose bib efficiently and professionally. The pricing was fair and transparent, especially compared to another plumbing quote I received that was unreasonably high. I felt confident in the work being done and appreciated the honesty. I was referred to Leo Plumbing solutions by a family friend who highly recommended them, and I?m very glad I took that advice. Great team, great communication, fair pricing, and excellent results. They resolved my leak and water loss issue completely. Highly recommend! Services Plumbing leak detection, Plumbing pipe repair, Faucet repair, Faucet installation, Plumbing leak repair, Service not"

Sewer Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Depending on the home, wastewater either goes into a septic tank and seeps back into the backyard or is sent via sewer system to a local sewage-treatment plant. Septic systems naturally separate different components of the waste so that it can naturally and safely disperse it. They are usually reserved for homes not served by a municipal sewage department (like rural homes). A treatment plant, on the other hand, speeds up that process through screening and purification.

You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.

To get rid of a sewer smell in your crawl space, you’ll have to find the source of the problem. If it has to do with your sewer lines, then repairing the line will help. You may need to make other repairs, like fixing your sump pump or encapsulating your crawl space to reduce moisture. After you make the repair, depending on the issue, you may still need to clean out your crawl space to get rid of the stink.

Most commercial liquid drain cleaners work in 15 to 30 minutes. Consult the label on the bottle for additional instructions or time suggestions to prevent damage to your drainpipes. Alternative solutions such as baking soda, salt, white vinegar, and/or boiling water can take longer since they are less harsh than liquid drain cleaners.
