Q: What is a professional drain cleaner?

• <div><p>A professional drain cleaner is a plumber or specialized drain cleaner with the necessary tools to unclog drains and tiles to keep waste water flowing out to the septic tank or city sewer for processing. Keeping wastewater from backing up into your home helps keep you and your family safe from potential contamination and sickness. These pros can help resolve nearly any drain situation in a safe and efficient manner.</p></div>

Q: How much does a sewer line clog cost?

• <div><p>Ideally, you might find that you only need to clean the sewer line or remove a clog from the main line. That costs $200 to $300. However, &ldquo;<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-clear-a-main-sewer-line-clog.htm">sewer main clogs can cost</a> upwards of $1,000 to clear, depending on what is causing the clog, distance from accessible cleanouts to the clog, and whether there is occupied space below the clogged line (apartment buildings, condos, etc.),&rdquo; says Botelho.</p></div>

Q: Can I unclog my own drains?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-snake-a-drain.htm">snake minor drain clogs</a> yourself, provided they sit within a foot or two of the drain itself, but it&rsquo;s usually best to hire a professional plumber regardless. Even experienced DIYers have a high chance of accidentally pushing the clog further into the drain using a drain snake or another tool, so hiring a plumber is the ideal course of action. A professional plumber can use camera equipment to locate and identify the clog, and remove the entire blockage to fix your issue permanently.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to unclog a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>You can often unclog a garbage disposal in less than 10 minutes, though sometimes you might need longer if you&rsquo;re unsure what&rsquo;s causing the clog. For minor clogs, consider plunging the drain, flushing the drain with baking soda and vinegar, or using an Allen wrench to free the clog. If the clog is more severe, contact a local plumber.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to clean a main sewer line?

• <div><p>An active cleaning agent and a drain snake is the best way to clean a main sewer line. You can purchase a regular or enzyme drain cleaner or make a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-make-eco-friendly-drain-cleaner.htm">DIY drain cleaner with baking soda</a>. Use your chosen solution at least once a month or as needed to keep your sewer line clear. </p></div>
