"Rick Ray and So s came out to reset a toilet that was leaking for me. They were very fast, friendly and did great work. They explained the issue, fixed it quickly and had me double check the work to make sure I was happy. This is the second time I’ve used them and I’ve been very happy with their service. I really appreciate that they text you a picture of the person coming to your home so that you k ow who to expect. This is a really great practice for safety reasons and I appreciate it very much. Thank you for the great service!"

"We installed new fixtures in shower and lav and replaced kitchen faucet. We’ve done a dozen or so remodels/rehabs. These folks were some of the best, if not THE best we’ve worked with. On time, plumber was professional and worked hard, kept home and workarea clean, and fair (not cheapest) price."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

Ejector pumps can only push sewage 750 feet or less. That’s because their purpose is to move waste from your home to your sewer line—which is a relatively short distance. Grinder pumps can transport sewage further, but they manage lower volumes of waste than ejector pumps (and they don’t work with septic systems).

If your drain doesn’t have metal crosshairs or crossbars, you should use a tub drain extractor. These tools create a grip on the drain so you can turn it using a 1/2-inch ratchet drive, drain key, or wrench. Your drain may not have crosshairs if it's old and broken.

Costs depend on clog severity, pipe condition, equipment required, and labor.

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
