"Unbelievably great service! My regular guy was injured and couldn’t do the job so I used Home Advisor. Jeff contacted me in a flash, gave me a price and I scheduled the job with him. I asked him to let me know when they were on their way so I didn’t have to stay home from work and he texted me right on schedule. Kyle came to do the dirty job - neat, clean, patient and friendly. And the best part? He cleared the roots in my sewer line and I can return to normalcy. What a relief! Guys I hired before left a big, nasty dirty sewage mess and Kyle left me zero to clean. Literally nothing to clean. Don’t hesitate to hire these guys. They won’t disappoint!"

"Van was able to fix our clog completely within 60-90 minutes and also replaced some broken pipes leading from our sink to the wall. He gave us some advice about how to care for our pipes, and also cleaned up the greasy mess that came splattering out of the wall. It was an easy and pleasant experience and we would definitely hire him again!"

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

There is conflicting advice on whether to leave a baking soda and vinegar mixture in a drain overnight. Some sources suggest it can be effective for tough clogs, recommending that you flush the drain with warm water in the morning as part of a monthly cleaning routine. However, other experts advise against leaving the mixture in for extended periods, as its caustic nature could corrode drainpipes if used too often or left in for too long.

In most areas, drain cleaning professionals don’t technically need a license, as they aren’t altering your plumbing system in any way. However, we recommend hiring a drain cleaning professional with a plumbing license and certification. Certified plumbers are more likely to provide professional solutions to drain clogs without damaging your system. They’ll also have the diagnostic tools and experience necessary to remove the clog entirely rather than providing a temporary solution, as a handyperson might. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your plumber’s professional licenses before hiring.

In most cases, drain cleaners will not clear a clogged sewer line, and they’re likely to damage your plumbing. Sewer lines are several inches wide, meaning any material that clogs it will need to be large. Drain cleaner can work on small clogs, but it usually won’t clear a larger one in a sewer main. Drain cleaners can also easily damage and corrode your plumbing with prolonged contact, and a clog will keep the cleaner in contact with the pipes for an extended period. Hire a professional sewer cleaner instead for a safe fix.

The cost to repair a main sewer line clog is about $3,110 on average. The average cost range is  $1,310 to $4,950, but it can go as low as $215 and as high as $9,300 or more. The cost factors for this repair include the severity of the clog, pipe accessibility, video inspection, removal method, permits, pipe material, labor rates in your area, and time of year. Repairs made from outside during the winter can be more difficult due to the frozen ground or during the spring if the ground is saturated from a lot of rain and snow melt.

Homeowners insurance usually doesn’t cover sewer backups because it’s typically an avoidable problem with proper maintenance. The only exception would be if the backup is occurring because of local flooding and only if your city uses a combined drainage system for stormwater and sewage. If that’s the case, your policy should cover any resulting damage.
