"We called and left a message about our clogged sewer line in the evening after hours. Keaton called us back at 7:00 am and said he would have a tech out in an hour. Billy was friendly and knowledgeable. He called us, and showed up and did an excellent job. He tried to clear the line and found another problem. He had to drive back to Martinsville and get other equipment and came back. They did not charge us an additional fee. And because he discovered the reason for the break, the company who put their line in under our sewer line (causing our problem) agreed to pay the bill. So, no cost to us. As owners of a small business also, it was nice to have hardworking, professionals doing the job they said they would do until completed. The price was reasonable and they traveled from Martinsville to Franklin. The four other plumbers (we know personally) that we called in our hometown did not even return our call. We highly recommend Hudson and will use them again. Great job guys!"

"They contacted me quickly. They were ready to come the next day, but I put them off a day to prepare. Dennis, the plumber, arrived on time and was polite and professional. He fixed the problem quickly and left everything clean. I asked for advice about some other plumbing problems and he was knowledgeable and very helpful. I'll have them do the other work as soon as I have the area prepared. Overall, a model experience."

"I was notified as they departed for our house and I instructed where the tank was located. This was great for me as I was running other errands before they arrived.  When I got home the operator was wrapping up.  We have a small tank by today's standards so it didn't take very long to pump.
The operator was very courteous and diligent in regards to cleaning up any spillage that is common in this process.  No worries.
This was the second time we've used them and they'll be on our list for years to come. 
Ironically, one of my errand stops has used Max's for over 30 years and had recently had service performed at their house by the same driver that was heading to my residence.  That was an unexpected boost that we had chosen correctly!

Sewer Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

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

Yes, sewage smells can originate from a floor drain. If the P-Trap in the floor drain dries out or if there's a clog or other issue in the plumbing system, sewer gasses can escape through the drain, causing nasty odors. Regularly pouring water into the drain helps maintain the water seal and prevent those smells, but if the smell persists, you should have a plumbing professional inspect the drain for potential problems.

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).

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.

While some chemical drain cleaners with hydrochloric acid can dissolve hair, this method is not recommended as it can also destroy your plumbing pipes. A common DIY alternative is using baking soda and vinegar, which can help break down the clog but will not actually dissolve the hair. The best and safest method for clearing a hair clog is to remove it manually. You can use a drain snake, a straightened wire hanger with pliers to fish out the clog, or have a plumber use a professional auger for more severe blockages.
