Do sewer cleaning companies need to be licensed?

<div><p>In most states, companies that perform sewer cleaning services don’t need specific licensing, but you should always ensure you hire a licensed and certified plumber to get the work done. You can use <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">our state licensing tool</a> to check whether the potential sewer cleaning company holds a plumber’s certification and license. Hiring a certified sewer cleaning services guarantees that the work will be done safely, there won’t be additional damage done to your home, and the problem will be fixed.</p></div>

How much does it cost to get something out of the sewer?

<div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-clear-a-main-sewer-line-clog.htm#">cost to snake your main sewer line</a> is around <b>$250</b> for a simple snake. Most sewer line specialists charge between <b>$45 and $200</b> per hour for main sewer line snaking, so the time involved plays a major role. The price you’ll pay will depend on the severity of the clog, the item causing the backup, how long it takes to remove the item, and more. A more severe issue that requires unclogging a main sewer line will cost <b>$3,100 on average</b>.</p></div>

How do I know if my main sewer line is clogged?

<div><p>There are a few <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/warning-signs-main-sewer-line-clog.htm">signs of a clog in your main sewer line</a> that you should keep in mind.</p><p>Common signs of a sewer line clog:</p><ul><li><p>Multiple fixtures in your home drain slowly</p></li><li><p>Drains in your home gurgle during or after draining</p></li><li><p>Water backs up into your sewer line cleanout</p></li><li><p>You notice foul odors in your home</p></li></ul><p>The best way to confirm that your main sewer line is clogged is to hire a professional plumber to assess the situation and use a camera to inspect the inside.</p></div>

Will drain cleaner clear a clogged sewer line?

<div><p>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.</p></div>

Can I clean my sewer myself?

<div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/sewer-cleaners/">professional sewer cleaner near you</a> to handle this type of work.</p></div>

"I got ripped off. I paid $75 for the service call fee and another $484 for the fix that took 30 minutes of labor and part. I felt the price was steep but since they were already there, I went ahead and authorized to get it taken care of. Later, I went to Thumbtack and requested a few quotes. A highly rated plumber quoted me $220 for the whole job."

"can not say enough good things about Paul Keener, the pro who uninstalled my 35 year old solar hot water heater and installed a gas tankless water heater and a whole house water purification system. We live at the beach under harsh weather and salt conditions, which corrodes everything quickly. And the water is hard. Now we don't have to buy bottled water anymore, and we have unlimited hot water. Paul was quick to come to the house and did all the work the next day once we decided on a plan of action."

"I hired All Round Repair & More LLC after finding them on Angie?s List to address a clogged kitchen drain. Nick, the owner, was polite, and his worker resolved the initial issue. However, I feel that I was charged more than what is typical for this type of service. The first invoice was $2,250 for a whole-home drain cleaning and a P-trap replacement under the kitchen sink, with limited warranty coverage. Only certain clogs (like hair or urine crystalization) were covered?not grease, wipes, or any pipe issues. I later found out that similar multi-drain cleaning jobs in my area usually fall between $200 and $600, which makes the price I paid wildly inflated. After the first visit, water began leaking from the sink. I was told that a new garbage disposal and basket strainer were needed?adding another $800 to the total. In the end, I paid $3,050 for what started as a basic clog. While the technician did fix the problem and was courteous, the pricing was not aligned with standard rates."
