Thornton Brothers Sewer has been the premier plumbing contractor in the area for over 20 years. We offer superior plumbing services and are equipped to handle a wide variety of major construction projects including but not limited to installations and remodeling.

"This company has been great to work with for several years; however, they changed owners sometime this year. Their rates have nearly doubled and they no longer stand by their work. I called them in when the sewer drain from my washing machine backed up. The tech was fantastic and worked very efficiently, but I was surprised to see such a drastic increase in cost. I paid it and didn't think much of it. Less than a week later, the same exact problem happened. When the tech came again, he and I discovered that the clog was actually in a different part of the line so he cleared that. He then expected me to pay a second time! I, of course, refused since this was the same problem that hadn't been appropriately fixed the first time. The new owner then came to my house and was very unprofessional. I will definitely never call them again and definitely do not recommend. It's a shame to see the new owners ruin what was a good company."

"Jason came to give us a bid and ended up fixing everything within 2 hours, my grandmothers pipes were broken for 4 years. The other estimates I got told me it would be 2,500+ to get them fixed. Jason went under there and told me it was a 200$ fix…. Always get other estimates! Luckily Dougs was a trustworthy place because we really could’ve gotten taken advantage of."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Yes, hiring a drain cleaner is worth it, especially when compared to the cost of not being able to use a sink, shower, toilet, or bathtub and the potential damage that flooding can cause in your home. You might try a temporary drain cleaning liquid or snaking it yourself, but if the clog is out of reach or these methods do not work, then hiring a professional drain cleaner is the way to go.

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.  

Professional tools include drain snakes, hydro jets, cameras for line inspection, and enzymatic or chemical cleaners for dissolution.

Snakes can occasionally enter homes through shower drains, although it’s quite rare. This can happen when they follow sewer pipes or accidentally find their way into plumbing systems. To minimize the risk, consider installing drain covers or stoppers on your shower drains. Always keep drains closed when they’re not in use, especially in areas where snakes are known to be active.

In the majority of cases, homeowners insurance will not cover a main sewer line root clog. The reason is that most insurance companies consider tree root damage to sewer lines as common wear and tear, which is also preventable. However, you may be able to buy optional add-on coverage, such as "service line coverage" or "sewer line endorsements," that would protect against root damage to your sewer line.
