"I had an issue with my dishwasher that was building up water and leading to it flowing out to my floors. Wasn’t quite sure what the cause of the issue was, but Ryan was able to determine the cause of the issue, and offer solutions to resolve the issue going forward. While he was here I mentioned my water heater had been making strange noises, and he even took a look at that issue and didn’t charge anything extra on top of an already reasonable rate for my original issue. Ryan did a very thorough, evaluation of my entire plumbing system and gave me plenty of options on how to move forward. Ryan was able to clean up the excess water building up behind my dishwasher, and did a great job cleaning up afterwards, leaving the area even cleaner than he found it. Would totally recommend Ryan, and Next Plumbing & Drain, and contact them anytime I need plumbing work done going forward!"

"The office gave me a 3 hour window for arrival and kept me advised of delays. My tech did arrive by the end of the 3 hour window and it took 2 hours to get my kitchen drains unclogged! So glad they were able to get the job done! I did some minor cleaning up after the job was completed. Yes, it was an expensive job but now I feel safe and I can use my dishwasher without any problems!"

"The tech Jeff came and found the problem with my shower drain issue pretty quick. He cleaned it out ( I had roots in my pipes) so I could use it that day. They then came with parts and tore out my floor and fixed it in a day. Very impressed and very professional."

Sewer Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

It is generally safe to stay in a house that smells like sewage for a short time, but you should get the problem fixed as soon as possible. While the level of sewer gas is usually low enough to only cause minor symptoms, prolonged inhalation can lead to headaches, nausea, or respiratory irritation. High levels of gas exposure can be more dangerous, and high concentrations of methane—a component of sewer gas—can pose an explosion risk in enclosed spaces. If you smell sewer gas in your home, ventilate the area and call a professional to locate, assess, and fix the problem, as it will not go away on its own.

Yes, rats can come up through drains. They can crawl through basement floor drains, lateral house drains, and roof drains. Installing rat blockers in your drains is the best way to repel rats and prevent them from entering your pipes. These are one-way valves that allow water and waste to flow out but keep rats from getting in.

Some experts estimate that descaling your cast iron pipes can extend their lifetime by upwards of 50 years, although there’s not a lot of research to prove it. But we do know that without proper maintenance, cast iron pipes can quickly rust—leading to more expensive issues like burst pipes or main line clogs.

If you’re wondering whether rats can come up the toilet, the unfortunate answer is yes, it’s possible, though it’s extremely rare. These rodents are excellent swimmers and can travel through sewer pipes in search of food, and they may follow plumbing lines leading to your home if they’re drawn by the scent of scraps and waste. The toilet’s U-bend holds a small pocket of air, which can help a rat catch its breath before making its final push into your bathroom. While more common in cities with larger rat populations, this can happen anywhere with connected sewer systems; sealing entry points and keeping drains clean can help reduce the risk.

There are a few things that can happen to your sewer system if you don’t fix it. These include rainwater entering it and causing rust and corrosion, dirt and debris leading to blockages, small animals getting stuck inside and clogging your sewer line or entering your home, and shortening the sewer system’s life span. 

Without a cap, nothing prevents toxic and non-toxic gasses like methane and hydrogen sulfide from slowly escaping your sewer system and entering your home and the surrounding atmosphere, resulting in a foul sewer odor throughout your house.
