"Hired Jeff Drains for a sewer inspection for a new property, and they were very professional and gave a good, non-dramatized assessment of the sewer line which was what I was looking for."

"Preston came over in an hour after I first reached out regarding a sewer line blockage (and it was on a Sunday). He quoted a really fair price and worked until the clog was freed. He then did a toilet reinstall for next to nothing. He'll be my go-to for any jobs on the future."

"Don't waste your time with the big overpriced corporate companies. Drain Frog is a ligit company with years of experience. Patrick came very quickly and did a phenomenal job. He was extremely professional and answered all of my concerns. He worked quickly to correct our blockage and we were back up and running in no time. I rarely give a 5 star ratings but this is one company that honestly deserves it. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again and again. Greg S."

"The young technicians who came to my home to installed the new thermostat and move it to another wall in my home were polite and conducted themselves professionally in my home and cleaned after themselves. I very appreciated Uri suggestion when he recommended to me another alternative at the initial visit and gave me a few quotes to choose from. So I'm very happy with ER service and I would rehired these two individuals back to my home. I will definitely recommend ER to other people in my life."

Sewer Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

Professionals use augers, hydrojetting equipment, and cameras for precise clearing and inspection.

Never pour used motor oil down the drain. Doing so can have serious environmental consequences, including contaminating groundwater, endangering animals, and killing vegetation. It can also clog your pipes, causing backups in your plumbing or the wastewater treatment plant. In most places, pouring motor oil down the drain is illegal, whether you do it in your home or a storm drain.

There are many things that could cause your basement floor drain to back up. One significant cause of a drainage backup is flushing non-flushable items, such as wipes, paper towels, and facial tissue. Other causes of a backed-up basement floor drain include tree roots impeding the drain pipe or an accumulation of hair, oil, and grease. 

A sewer cleanout typically looks like a white or gray PVC pipe with a removable cap. It's often located either in your yard or basement, depending on your home's plumbing configuration. The cleanout pipe is designed to provide easy access to your sewer system for maintenance and inspections. It may be flush with the ground or slightly elevated, making it distinguishable from other pipes. When you remove the cap, you can access the sewer line directly or determine its direction, which can be helpful when you need to locate your sewer line from your house to the street.

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).
