"I can't say enough positive things about the service Paul provided. He was the first one to respond to my request and was accommodating in scheduling a date and time to take care of the problem. He contacted me prior to the scheduled time to let me know he had an emergency call and would be late and said he would contact me when he was on his way. He did and arrived within an hour of the scheduled time. Great communication. Once on sight, he put drop cloths down to cover my wood floors, inspected the area and determined where the clog was. All toll, he was here for about an hour and my waste water is now flowing out to the sewer as it is supposed to. When the job was done the area was left clean. Paul and his apprentice were very friendly and pleasant to deal with. Paul did what he was hired to do, which he did very well, and his costs didn't break the bank. I won't hesitate to call them again should the need arise. I would highly recommend Ace Electric Sewer Service if you should have a similar problem. A++++++++"

"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!"

"Mike and Todd did a great job. They replaced my main sewer line very quickly. This is an old house, they did material research to make sure the repair was correct, and they worked in tight space under the house. They were on time and fast, and the work was excellent."

"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 questions, answered by experts

This depends on the location of the blockage. If the blockage is in your home’s system, anywhere in the system, it is your responsibility as a homeowner. Blockages seldom happen because of items or buildup coming from the city, which means it originates in the home. It becomes the city’s responsibility at the exact point your home’s line distributes waste into the city’s system. The exception is if the problem in your home damages the city lines.  

In the majority of cases, homeowners insurance will not cover a main sewer line root clog. The reason is that most insurance companies consider tree root damage to sewer lines as common wear and tear, which is also preventable. However, you may be able to buy optional add-on coverage, such as "service line coverage" or "sewer line endorsements," that would protect against root damage to your sewer line.

Snaking a toilet is similar to clearing sinks and bathtubs, but there are unique circumstances where you’d have to drain, disassemble, and remove the toilet to fix the clog. For stubborn clogs in the toilet trap, a toilet auger—designed with a shorter cable and a protective plastic encasing—can navigate the tight bends and clear the clog without risking damage to the porcelain. 

Regardless of the drain cleaner type you choose to use, they all work through chemical reactions that create heat. Thanks to the heat, the clogged hair begins to dissolve until it is able to be flushed away. To avoid clogs in your drain due to hair, use hair catchers and empty them out after every shower.

One way to save money on sewer lines is to install a sewer cleanout since it makes sewer line maintenance easier. Keeping up with maintenance is key to reducing the cost of repairs, so be sure to schedule annual plumbing inspections, install drain guards to stop objects from accidentally falling down drains, and only flush human waste and toilet paper to protect your pipes.
