"He was very professional. I wasn't sure what was going on and when he came out and took look he was able to figure it out right away. He came out same day. Even called to say he could come out earlier than expected. He got it taken care of quickly and put my mind at rest. He was very helpful. I have a couple other projects with my sewer drain and will call him to do the work when I am ready."

"Excellent! Skilled and Knowledgeable! Our sewer backup seemed to come from nowhere. Matt quickly accessed the problem and communicated possible causes. He rodded the sewer line and used the camera to locate the bent pipe causing backup. Not only did he effectively explain the causes and source of our sewer back-up, but also gave us temporary and long-term solutions to consider. Surely, educated this homeowner! He came when promised and truly delivered. Price was good and work was excellent. Will definitely recommend and call back for all future needs!"

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

There are a few things that can happen to your sewer system if you don’t fix it. These include rainwater entering it and causing rust and corrosion, dirt and debris leading to blockages, small animals getting stuck inside and clogging your sewer line or entering your home, and shortening the sewer system’s life span. 

Without a cap, nothing prevents toxic and non-toxic gasses like methane and hydrogen sulfide from slowly escaping your sewer system and entering your home and the surrounding atmosphere, resulting in a foul sewer odor throughout your house.

If the toilet is overflowing but there’s no clog, that’s a sign that the issue is deeper in the system, and plunging may not help. A blockage in your home’s plumbing, the plumbing vent, or even city sewer lines can cause toilets to overflow. The issue could also be the toilet itself if the filler float isn’t set to the correct height or if parts are damaged or worn out.

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.

A two-way cleanout can help if there’s already a clog, but the best strategy to prevent one is by not rinsing grease, oil, or fat down your drains, not flushing or rinsing coffee grounds or egg shells down your drains, flushing only human waste and toilet paper (so no diapers, period products, bathroom wipes, or paper towels), and using drain guards on all of your drains.

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.
