"Tim put us in the schedule very quickly due to a clogged sewer line. He showed up when promised. He was very proficient in getting the clog cleared out. He cleans up his work area when done. I'd hire him again, without question."

"Professional, clean, friendly and honest. This what I can say about Ramon & Sons Plumbing! We had a major crises today, the sewer backed up into the basement. We called Ramon & Sons and they said they would be there at 8:30 am...Right on the dot they were here. I was very happy to see how organized, clean and competent they were. It took almost no time for them to do the routing and put a cap on the line. The result was a job performed with great care, professionally done and No Leaks! I am extremely happy with the service provided and although I hope I do not have anymore plumbing issues in the future, I am much more at ease knowing I will always have someone to call who are as reliable and professional and so affordable as Ramon & Sons. I will definitely be recommending them to family and friends..They are just Awesome!"

"Nikko came out to do an outside backyard sewer line inspection. I've never had any problems in the past with the sewer lines, but had it inspected for peace of mind. I was glad I had it done, because Nikko showed me a nasty root inside the sewer line. Once he chopped up the root, the water that was held back could now flow freely through the pipe once again. Nikko found one more root and chopped that up too. Then he checked the drain one last time and when he saw there were no more roots he cleaned up and put his tools back in his truck. Nikko was very smart, informative and answered all my questions. Thank you Precision Today for your plumbing solutions. I will use them again and will tell friends and family to call them for any plumbing issues.."

"I had a plumbing emergency that started as a blocked pipe and ended up being a sheared sewer pipe that 1) needed to be located under a set of concrete steps 2) had to be unblocked and then repaired over a period of 3 days. It was hard manual labor and very difficult work. Ray and his team, including Martin were extremely professional, spending time explaining what was happening every step of the way and going through the costs in detail. They had to dig a 6ft hole in my back yard and then had to break off parts of the concrete steps. They left my backyard in tact, took away all the junk and waste material and supported the new pipe to code. I would recommend them highly for any plumbing job. On mine they were truly put to the test and remained focused, professional and delivered excellent work."

Sewer Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

DIY is not recommended due to safety risks and specialized equipment requirements. Hire professionals for effective clearing.

Snaking a drain can take as little as a few minutes for small, simple clogs, up to two hours or more for tough clogs located further down the drain line. For tougher clogs, a professional drain cleaner can likely get the job done much more quickly because they have the necessary tools and expertise. However, your drain cleaning pro might not be able to give you a firm time estimate until inspecting the clog and its surrounding plumbing.

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.”

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.

The best practice is to clean the sewer drain lines in your home once a year or every two years. Older homes could require more frequent maintenance. Keeping up on cleaning your sewer lines can prevent severe clogs, help ensure your system is working properly, and prevent expensive repairs.
