Q: How do I clean my sewer line from my house to the street?

• <div><p>First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap&mdash;you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don&rsquo;t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart. </p></div>

Q: How do I know if my plumbing vent is clogged?

• <div><p>Anything from debris, rust, ice, and even poor installation can cause clogs in your plumbing vents. Some signs of a clog include slow drains, gurgling sounds in drains and toilets, and bad odors. The bad odors are the most concerning, as these can include methane and hydrogen sulfide. Contact a plumber to come take a look if you notice any of these signs.</p></div>

Q: Can snakes come up through shower drains?

• <div><p>Snakes can occasionally enter homes through shower drains, although it&rsquo;s quite rare. This can happen when they follow sewer pipes or accidentally find their way into plumbing systems. To minimize the risk, consider installing drain covers or stoppers on your shower drains. Always keep drains closed when they&rsquo;re not in use, especially in areas where snakes are known to be active.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep my egress window from flooding?

• <div><p>Keep your egress window from flooding by ensuring that the drainage system in the window well is clear and in good working condition. Inspect the window well every few months to remove any blockages and test the drainage system. It&rsquo;s better to discover potential problems before your window well fills with water during heavy rain. </p></div>
