"They cleaned out catch basin, repaired it (one of the bricks fell out) and tuckpointed it. Also scoped my sewer line. My home was built in 1910. Able was very responsive and professional. Their competitors never even returned my phone calls. I’d definitely hire them again."

"I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Ed and his team at 24 Action Plumbing. He was at my house literally 5 minutes after I called! He was at my neighbors house repairing their sewer and walked right over and introduced himself after I spoke with his secretary. He was very upfront and knowledgeable about the problem I had. He gave me an estimate immediately and stuck with that cost even though there were a couple of unexpected issues. He and his team were professional, kind and friendly. I will 100% be calling them again if I am ever in need of any plumbing work and I would encourage and recommend anyone reading this to do the same."

"Manny was referring to me by a contractor, he was in my home 5 minutes and found a leak that had eluded me for years. He showed me the problem and gave me my options. He resolved the problem and understood my frustration with it. It was a pleasure dealing with him and his professionalism."

Sewer Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

Common drain issues include slow-running drains, whether in a sink or shower, clogged drains, a bad smell, and water backing up into a sink, shower, or bathtub. Causes range from hair, grease, roots, or toilet paper clogging the drainpipes to flooding outside the home, which prevents sewer lines from draining properly.

Food grease, soap buildup, paper products, and tree roots often cause serious clogs.

If you’ll be digging up your floor to get access to your pipes when putting in a sewer backflow preventer, this would also be a good time to take care of any other plumbing issues or renovations. For example, you could install additional pipes for a basement bathroom. Since the floor will be sealed over with concrete when you’re done, now’s a good time to take care of those bigger tasks.

Avoid flushing non-degradable items, schedule regular inspections, and address minor clogs promptly.

If used correctly and sparingly, root killer shouldn’t damage your pipes. Make sure to follow the instructions on the back of the bottle or the company’s website to avoid any unintended damages. However, when it comes to copper sulfate, it’s better to avoid it. This type of root killer can damage your plumbing and the surrounding environment.
