"I had a backed up sink,shower and toilet. A major pipe was cracking and leaking into my basement. Reme explained everything to my satisfaction and gave different suggestions. I had new pipes put in and the sewer line snaked as well as a new sump pump installed. It was all done in one day and I was kept informed throughout the process. The price was a good price for what was done and I would not hesitate to recommend Remendy Plumbing."

"He came out on Labor Day and worked harder than I could imagine and SOLVED a drain problem that I had been struggling with for years. My basement drain used to backup every few months and never drained fast no matter how many plumbers I hired (4!), but since he fixed it Labor Day 2025, the drain drains quickly with zero backups!"

"Very happy with what Rema did. He came on time, analyzed the problem, and cleaned the clogged drain for exactly what he said it would cost the night before. He was careful, methodical, and very professional. He was also very neat and cleaned up as he worked and after he was finished. He will be the first person I call for any plumbing problems in the future."

"Service was great. It took them some time to figure out what was exactly wrong, but once they figured it out, they fixed the problem right away. They cleaned up after themselves and came back a couple days later to check to see if everything was working properly. They were very courteous and I would recommend and use them for any future plumbing needs."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

The type of clog in your sewer main determines the required cleaning method. Different types or methods of sewer main cleaning require various tools like chemicals, mechanical removal, or a combination of both. Some of the most common types of sewer main line cleaning include:

  • Minor debris removal: $100–$600

  • Tree root removal: $100–$1,000

  • Trenchless pipe repair: $60–$250 per linear foot

  • General line repairs: $1,000–$4,000

  • Full pipe replacement: $3,000–$25,000

Depending on the home, wastewater either goes into a septic tank and seeps back into the backyard or is sent via sewer system to a local sewage-treatment plant. Septic systems naturally separate different components of the waste so that it can naturally and safely disperse it. They are usually reserved for homes not served by a municipal sewage department (like rural homes). A treatment plant, on the other hand, speeds up that process through screening and purification.

Bleach isn’t likely to help unclog a sewer line. Bleach isn’t useful in this situation because it won’t dissolve the grime and debris in the clog. Instead, you want to use ingredients that will have a chemical reaction to clear out the buildup, like vinegar or salt and baking soda.

If you’re wondering whether rats can come up the toilet, the unfortunate answer is yes, it’s possible, though it’s extremely rare. These rodents are excellent swimmers and can travel through sewer pipes in search of food, and they may follow plumbing lines leading to your home if they’re drawn by the scent of scraps and waste. The toilet’s U-bend holds a small pocket of air, which can help a rat catch its breath before making its final push into your bathroom. While more common in cities with larger rat populations, this can happen anywhere with connected sewer systems; sealing entry points and keeping drains clean can help reduce the risk.

This depends on the location of the blockage. If the blockage is in your home’s system, anywhere in the system, it is your responsibility as a homeowner. Blockages seldom happen because of items or buildup coming from the city, which means it originates in the home. It becomes the city’s responsibility at the exact point your home’s line distributes waste into the city’s system. The exception is if the problem in your home damages the city lines.
