"Of all things you don't want to happen on a Sunday afternoon, your sewer line backing up has to top the list. Well that what happened to me today. Ugh. Since I was away from a computer and didn't have time to research service providers on Angie's List, I reached for my trusty yellow pages and called several companies to find out how much this problem was going to set me back. The first few calls I made were very discouraging, with quotes ranging from $425-$600+!! Not what I wanted to hear! Then I turned the page and found a nice looking ad from a company called All-Star Rooter and decided to make one last call. Boy was I glad I did. Rather than get an answering machine or message service, Bryan (the owner) answered the phone and told me the price would be from $235-$285 (depending upon how many feet my house is back from the street) and that he could be over right after he finished up his current job - in about an hour. Music to my ears! Not only did he show up as promised, he quickly identified the problem and cleared the line. Within an hour, my problem was resolved and my bank account NOT depleted! Bryan is just starting out on his own (after working for others for many years) so his prices are extremely reasonable. But that doesn't mean his work isn't high quality! He was prompt, professional, friendly, neat, insured and extremely knowledgeable and experienced. Plus, he gave me a 30-day guarantee. Totally top-rate service at affordable rates. He was a true lifesaver and I highly recommend him for any problems you may have with clogged drains or sewers."

"My family woke up to our septic tank back flowing into our house. I called our septic tank company and they came out right away and gave me a name of another drain service company. They were less than responsive despite claiming 24/7 service. I found Atomic Rooter thank to Angie's List and every step from the answering service to the on-call technician were wonderful. It was 7pm and 12 degrees outside and Joey arrived earlier than expected! He was quick to get to work and give detailed explanation of the work he was going to do, even though the access valve was under a crawl space, covered by snow, in really cold weather he didn't bat and eye. Joey was extremely professional and honest, it was a pleasure working with him. I would definitely recommend Atomic Rooter to anyone and call again if I had any other issues.

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

For homes with a septic tank, harsh chemicals like those found in drain cleaner or bleach aren’t recommended. Some chemical drain cleaners can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the septic tank or damage your pipes. For homes with a septic tank, you can choose drain cleaners specifically formulated for use with septic tanks or go with a drain snake. When in doubt, make sure you know who to call for a clogged drain. 

Some homeowners use additives every month to help septic system performance, but according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the effectiveness of septic system and leach field additives is unknown. Further, additives made with organic solvents or alkali chemicals can actually be harmful to the necessary bacteria in a septic system.

There are several signs that can indicate your leach lines are broken, failing, or in need of repair, including puddles of water or a marshy consistency to the ground above or around the pipes, slow drainage or plumbing backups inside your home, and noticeable odors or gurgling sounds coming from your leach field. Keeping your septic system properly maintained, including having your septic tank pumped at regular intervals, can help ensure your leach lines stay in good working order for a long time.

On average, a plumber will take 30 minutes to two hours to clear a clogged drain. If the clog is located close to the drain or an access point and isn’t severe, the project will take about half an hour. If the clog is deep within your plumbing system or is a severe blockage, it can take two or more hours to remove the clog. For this reason, main line clogs tend to take longer, usually between two and three hours.

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.
