"John was fantastic. We had a section of sewer pipe that was something called Orangeburg (glorified tar paper form WW2 war shortage era). It was falling apart and had serious roots in it. He took A LOT of time and care and was able to clear the roots mostly out without destroying the rotting pipe, to the point where it will be usable for a few more months. The pipe will need to be replaced, but John bought us A LOT of time on a very expensive future job. He also was able to pinpoint what parts of the yard would need to be dug up and was able to recommend someone. It was obvious he cared about what he was doing and wasn't just in there for a quick payday. HIGHLY RECCOMEND."

"Andrew was the man who did the work. I showed him where it was he talked and walked me through what needed to be done and what he was going to do. He was delaying at first but given the traffic and there was a lot of fog and he did message me he was on his way. He was kind he did his work, cleaned up and was very knowledgeable of plumbing which is extremely important! I would call on him again if I needed more plumbing to be done in our home! The fee was very reasonable too! Robert and Patricia Burgess"

"My sewer line was backed up and I needed help right away. Sam called me back in minutes and came right over. He assessed my problem and told me he would be back in the morning after giving me a temporary fix. Instead he called Mark and had him come over and take a look at the problem who found the source of the issue and gave me a more in depth temporary fix. He helped me with contacting my insurance company and was in constant communication with me every step of the way and was ready to come back if anything came up. He and his staff did an excellent job of removing item and conducting the clean up as well as, pointing out other problem areas. I would hire them again and I would recommend them to everyone. I was pretty nervous about the situation but they put my mind at ease."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

It can take anywhere from half an hour to a few hours to fix a main line clog, depending on the cause and severity of it. The job should not take more than a day to complete. Keep in mind that the main line is not the same as your home’s sewer lines (which connect to the main line and run to your house). Your city is responsible for any clogs or damage to the main line itself.

If you’ll be digging up your floor to get access to your pipes when putting in a sewer backflow preventer, this would also be a good time to take care of any other plumbing issues or renovations. For example, you could install additional pipes for a basement bathroom. Since the floor will be sealed over with concrete when you’re done, now’s a good time to take care of those bigger tasks.

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.

The type of clog in your sewer main determines the required cleaning method. Different types or methods of sewer main cleaning require various tools like chemicals, mechanical removal, or a combination of both. Some of the most common types of sewer main line cleaning include:

  • Minor debris removal: $100–$600

  • Tree root removal: $100–$1,000

  • Trenchless pipe repair: $60–$250 per linear foot

  • General line repairs: $1,000–$4,000

  • Full pipe replacement: $3,000–$25,000

Schedule regular inspections, fix minor issues promptly, and ensure proper drainage.
