"I had a plumbing issue that I thought would turn into a major headache, but Mahon Plumbing made the whole process smooth and stress-free. They arrived on time, quickly diagnosed the problem, and had it fixed before I could even make a second cup of coffee. They were professional, knowledgeable, and even gave me a few tips to avoid future issues. The pricing was fair, and there were no surprises on the bill—just great service from start to finish. If you need a plumber who knows what they’re doing and won’t leave you with a mess, I highly recommend Mahon Plumbing. I’ll definitely call them again for any future plumbing needs!"

"My experience today was great. Mr. Lawal and apprentice were very professional and provided superior service in fixing my busted basement pipe. They took their time, performed the job with great excellence, answered all our questions, and to top it off they were extremely funny making the experience all the more wonderful. I definitely without a doubt would recommend and use again Water Field Plumbing and Drain Service for jobs in the future."

"Owner came out promptly when we called for a sewer line backing up into our basement. His quote was better than another we received an hour before, and he had the equipment ready to go immediately. He cleared the blockage and advised us to pursue a video inspection because of a snag in the line (possible rupture in the pipe and/or tree root) that likely contributed to the backup."

"BFMD is the best sewer line cleaning service I have ever used. Several other contractors insisted that I needed a new sewer line and quoted very high prices. BFMD determined this was not necessary and was able to clear my line completely. Great job, great service, great professionalism, and great honesty."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

It’ll take 20 to 30 minutes to unclog a sewer line using a drain snake or drain cleaner. If you hire a professional, you should expect them to be on-site for three hours or less. In addition to clearing the clog, they’ll do other routine inspections, which adds to the overall time (and cost) required.

Cat pee has a strong ammonia-like smell, so if you smell cat pee but don’t have a cat or don’t suspect your cat has any accidents, there could be other issues at hand. Aside from pet urine, your house may smell like cat pee from leaking freon from an old fridge, mold, spilled cleaning supplies, or even outside odors from nearby farms.

It can take anywhere from half an hour to a few hours to fix a main line clog, depending on the cause and severity of it. The job should not take more than a day to complete. Keep in mind that the main line is not the same as your home’s sewer lines (which connect to the main line and run to your house). Your city is responsible for any clogs or damage to the main line itself.

It is generally safe to stay in a house that smells like sewage for a short time, but you should get the problem fixed as soon as possible. While the level of sewer gas is usually low enough to only cause minor symptoms, prolonged inhalation can lead to headaches, nausea, or respiratory irritation. High levels of gas exposure can be more dangerous, and high concentrations of methane—a component of sewer gas—can pose an explosion risk in enclosed spaces. If you smell sewer gas in your home, ventilate the area and call a professional to locate, assess, and fix the problem, as it will not go away on its own.

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.
