"Cam came to help me and my husband with a drain problem. He was kind, interested in understanding the concern, he explained the processes he was going through, and finally found the problem. It was resolved and at a reasonable price. We will definitely use East End Plumbing if we have this type of problem again. Thank you for helping!!"

"We did not install tankless after thorough and knowledgeable discussion with Tommy. Went for a top quality regular tank and am amazed of the efficiency. First they covered all of the area from the front door down the carpeted stairs to keep it clean. He and his son were very professional and did a great clean installation. I was surprised to get a call back within 5 minutes on a Sunday afternoon. Sumner has my future business and any of my friends."

"Jason and his crew are prompt, polite, professional and proficient in everything they have done for us. We are full time homeowners in New Buffalo and also have 3 other rental properties, Jason and his team have worked on them all. From broken pipes, to sewer back ups, sump pump replacements and smaller jobs such as fixture changes and unfortunately everything in-between. While any plumbing situation can become a physical as well as a financial disaster it’s comfortable to know that Jason will have your back and assure you that everything will be ok. We highly recommend Jason’s company to everyone in the community."

"Vander Hyde did a great job.  Our water is very rusty, so it makes plumbing very difficult because the pipes are always rusted.  It was difficult to disassemble the fixture, but they had the right tools and they were able to get the worn parts out.  In the process, however, the handle to the fixture was broken.  The plumbers put the fixture back together, cleaned up and promised to be back with a new handle at the end of the day - which they did."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

The cost to clean a sewer line is about $370, ranging from about $190 to $550 on average. The specific cleaning method and the problem's severity will impact the project's overall cost. Some of the most common sewer line cleaning methods include:

  • Snaking or rodding: $100–$250

  • Hydrojetting: $350–$600

  • Chemical treatments: $600–$1,000

  • Repair or replacement: $1,000–$7,500

First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap—you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don’t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart.

The cost to unclog a drain varies based on the location and severity of the clog. For simple clogs within your home, such as in a sink, toilet, or shower, hiring a plumber typically costs between $110 and $350, with an average of around $200. Snaking a toilet or sink usually costs between $110 and $275, while a bathtub or shower clog costs about $225.

For a more serious clog in the main sewer line, the cost is higher. Clearing a main line clog generally costs between $200 and $600, with an average of about $380. However, prices can range from as low as $100 for snaking a minor clog to over $1,600, particularly if advanced methods like video inspection and hydrojetting are needed for a large or hard-to-reach blockage. Some severe main line clogs can cost upwards of $1,000 to clear depending on factors like the cause of the clog, its distance from an accessible cleanout, and whether the pipe is located beneath an occupied space (e.g., in an apartment building). You may be able to save money on minor clogs by using a drain snake or bladder yourself.

Most blockages can be cleared in 1-3 hours, but severe issues may take longer.

As a preventative measure, hydro jetting should be done every one to two years. However, the best practice is to hydro jet your sewer line once per year. The ideal frequency depends on several factors, including the age and condition of your pipes, how prone they are to clogging, how often the sewer line is used, and the type of waste disposed of in the system. If you frequently experience clogs or are unsure, it's best to ask a licensed plumber for a recommendation specific to your plumbing system.
