"Benjamin Franklin responded to our request for service the morning after we called and left a message (the evening before). Notified us that a plumber would be sent earlier than the scheduled appointment if he became available sooner. Call service rep was very friendly, explained how the service call would be handled (and the costs). Acknowledged on-line coupon credit for service call resulting in diagnosis and repair as necessary. Plumber (Jordan) arrived on time, was very courteous and friendly, took measures to keep house and work area clean, explained the work recommended and costs. Repair was made expeditiously and a two year warranty on parts and labor was given. The service was pricey, but the result and the plumber's professionalism were exemplary--and the response time to our needs was very good (not an emergency). We have used Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for many of our plumbing needs--both water and natural gas and have been pleased every time. Again, pricey but very reliable."

"All went well. Chris the installer was prompt, polite and kept the work areas clean. A nice option from Southern Company is they will give you a quote before starting any work. The quote was $75 but included in final price if you accepted the offer. I would use their services again.

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Your sewer line can get grimy quickly. To prevent sludge buildup in your sewer line, pour a mixture of 1/3 cup of vinegar and 1/3 cup of baking soda down each drain in your home once a month. After about 30 minutes, flush the drain with hot water.

Some plumbers recommend 3/4 cup of bleach instead to clean any germs and bacteria that may build up in your sewer line. But this won’t break down any active clogs, and it cannot be combined with vinegar, as the mixture will create a toxic, hazardous gas.

Thankfully, it’s pretty rare to find a rat in your toilet. It’s more likely in larger cities with big sewer systems that can be feeding grounds for rats, but even then, you still shouldn’t fret. 

“I wouldn’t worry too much about rats coming up through the sewers,” Bradshaw says. “I’d say only one out of a thousand rodent customers we get actually have this problem. And of the 20 or some customers that have had this happen, they’ve all only had just one rat come up this way.”

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.

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 professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.

The cost to repair a main sewer line clog is about $3,110 on average. The average cost range is  $1,310 to $4,950, but it can go as low as $215 and as high as $9,300 or more. The cost factors for this repair include the severity of the clog, pipe accessibility, video inspection, removal method, permits, pipe material, labor rates in your area, and time of year. Repairs made from outside during the winter can be more difficult due to the frozen ground or during the spring if the ground is saturated from a lot of rain and snow melt.
