"The previous sewer company claimed my sewer line was completely blocked after "their attempts" rodding and jetting the line. Their solution was the need to excavate and replace a new section of sewer pipe, which also would tear apart part of my driveway. Since it wasn't an emergency yet, I wanted a second opinion. Luckily, I turned to Angi's list and reached out for another quote. Tim responded promptly & was confident to try and see what's going on, first with his camera and then using a very small claw which could open up the line. Fortunately he was honest and right as he got thru the blockage and proceeded to use larger claws to fully rod out and clean the entire sewer line to the street, saving me a small fortune along with the aggravation dealing with the possible need of excavation and replacement of the sewer line. I would well recommend his services and will continue to have him service my sewer line. Thank you Angi's list and Tim from DRAINS INC. !"

"When I had a problem with the main sewer pipe another company came to fix the problem and they went from $275 TO $4600 in an instant. They recommended to install an exterior axis. I went online instead and found three other contractors which two of them recommended Aqua City Plumbing and Sewer, Inc. so I called them and when they came they made sure to open up the main sewer line and fixed the problem. Saved me around $400. The owner Chirs is pretty knowledgeable."

"I cannot recommend Ramon highly enough. He and his crew fully replaced a destroyed sewer line for me on extremely short notice and at an unbelievably affordable price. This project involved excavating the damaged line and installing a new section, and then rodding and cleaning the entirety of my sewer line. Ramon was responsive, completely on top of everything, and gave me a lot of peace of mind during a very stressful time. I am very thankful to him and his team and will be recommending them to everyone I know that is in need of sewer inspection or repair!"

"I've hired Code Plumbing in 2012 for water line repair in my attic. Ray was very quick, very efficient, and he didn't rip me off. I am very pleased with Code's work. And I had just used his service to have my sewer drain cleaned or rodded and have a shut off valve installed on my water line for outside of my house to keep people from stealing my water. Excellent!"

"I would and have recommended reliance plumbing to family and friends. I wanted to add a bathroom to my basement. I got three bids for the job and Reliance was competitive. I chose Reliance because I have used them exclusively for my plumbing work for several years. I had an awesome bathroom install done by them. They took two small rooms and built me a beautiful bathroom. I liked that I had the option to have them provide all fixtures and tile or let me purchase what I wanted. I chose to buy my own items. They had a specialty crew for each aspect of the job. Electricians for the electrical work, different plumbing crews to do the different plumbing jobs, and a carpenter for other non-plumbing items (framing, vanity install, towel bars, mirror, etc.) Each member or the team was polite, professional and did a great job. I must give extra recognition to Scott Scrivner the carpenter. He was meticulous with all his work. He made sure everything was done to perfection. He made me aware of any issues and we discussed how I wanted them handled. Unfortunately, during the install my sewer started backing up, not at all related to the work they were doing. We hadn't had the line cleaned out in over four years. I called and they sent a crew out within hours to try to clear the line. It turned out not to be a simple tree root or clog, but a serious issue preventing proper drainage. George Rivera, who is most knowledgeable about all plumbing issues, gave me a very detailed explanation with camera footage about the problem. Great company."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Yes, hiring a drain cleaner is worth it, especially when compared to the cost of not being able to use a sink, shower, toilet, or bathtub and the potential damage that flooding can cause in your home. You might try a temporary drain cleaning liquid or snaking it yourself, but if the clog is out of reach or these methods do not work, then hiring a professional drain cleaner is the way to go.

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.

Depending on the home, wastewater either goes into a septic tank and seeps back into the backyard or is sent via sewer system to a local sewage-treatment plant. Septic systems naturally separate different components of the waste so that it can naturally and safely disperse it. They are usually reserved for homes not served by a municipal sewage department (like rural homes). A treatment plant, on the other hand, speeds up that process through screening and purification.

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.

Bleach isn’t likely to help unclog a sewer line. Bleach isn’t useful in this situation because it won’t dissolve the grime and debris in the clog. Instead, you want to use ingredients that will have a chemical reaction to clear out the buildup, like vinegar or salt and baking soda.
