"After having Penning Plumbing "clear" my sewer lines twice within 14 months, they recommended having my sewer pipes replaced. I found Mr Rooter, because at the time they were the only ones that would sleeve new pipes with minimal lawn disturbance with the technique they used. After getting a quote, Bryan told me that guy wasn't there anymore, so they'd take out two sidewalk squares and replace the pipes from there. Fearing another sewer backup, and after some back and forth on getting the correct price on the invoice (foreshadowing), Mr. Rooter sent Bryan and Briton to replace all my pipes from my house to the city of Grand Rapids pipes on March 15. Instead of entering from the sidewalk, they excavated from in front of my house instead and added an outside sewer access. They finished in one day and Bryan said he'd be back the next day (March 16) after the city of Grand Rapids checks the connection to fill the hole they made. I didn't need to be there, so I paid the remainder of the invoice. I came home on March 16 to find the hole filled, but a lot of ground not replaced and left on my lawn and landscaping (see photos). I called and left a message as it was after hours expressing my concern because of the rain in the forecast and tried to replace some of the ground myself. The weekend passed with no reply (foreshadowing), but I did receive the final invoice on March 18 with the charge for sidewalk removal still on it. The week of March 20 the city of GR came out to check their lines, and found Mr Rooter had come up by about 7 feet. Mr. Rooter did not replace about 7 feet of pipes they were contracted to replace. Over the next two weeks I would call and email with little response or movement (foreshadowing), and in the meantime, I had leaks in my basement where I never had water come in before. Finally I spoke with Briton who said he would come out to check. I asked about the leaks, and he said I'd have to "wait them out" before they stop. A few days later I spoke with Bryan, after he missed an appointment, and he said if they were short it was only by a foot. The next day Drew was dispatched to my house, who confirm Mr. Rooter was about 7 feet short. He didn't know why they were short or why they didn't say anything, but said this isn't how they should be doing work. He wrote a report, but nothing came of it. Long story short for the sake of this review, for the next two months I called and emailed to get an answer from Mr. Rooter. I spoke with Megan and Alicia. Cara was assigned to my job, she texted me once to say she was still working on it, then never again. I also never spoke to Byran nor Briton again. The owner, Mr. Matt Engel, said he would contact me about the situation, but never did. He also said, through Alicia, he would refund a partial amount, but never did (I did receive a refund for the sidewalk removal earlier on). The best I got from anyone at Mr. Rooter was they were sorry, they agreed with my frustration, they pride themselves on communication and this isn't how they handle their business. Yet I only ever received the contrary. On their invoice they have a "No hassle" guarantee, where, if the customer isn't happy within the first year, they'd fix it. Effectively, the whole franchise ghosted me instead. Eventually I contacted the corporate office, Neighborly. They recorded everything and wrote up a report, but because Mr. Rooter is an independent franchise, they can't do much else, which is unacceptable. Since, I have sought legal council and filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, which is still open. My suspicion is that this was Mr. Rooter and its owner Mr. Engel's gameplay: to wait out the customer because the customer is libel to lose interest before any real consequences are incurred. If they did it to me, they've probably done it before and will probably do it again. It's pathetic and cowardly. My advice to others is: if you have a sewer backup, call your city/municipality FIRST. If you need sewer and/or plumbing services, DO NOT call Mr. Rooter."

In most states, companies that perform sewer cleaning services don’t need specific licensing, but you should always ensure you hire a licensed and certified plumber to get the work done. You can use our state licensing tool to check whether the potential sewer cleaning company holds a plumber’s certification and license. Hiring a certified sewer cleaning services guarantees that the work will be done safely, there won’t be additional damage done to your home, and the problem will be fixed.
The average cost to snake your main sewer line is around $250 for a simple snake. Most sewer line specialists charge between $45 and $200 per hour for main sewer line snaking, so the time involved plays a major role. The price you’ll pay will depend on the severity of the clog, the item causing the backup, how long it takes to remove the item, and more. A more severe issue that requires unclogging a main sewer line will cost $3,100 on average.
There are a few signs of a clog in your main sewer line that you should keep in mind.
Common signs of a sewer line clog:
Multiple fixtures in your home drain slowly
Drains in your home gurgle during or after draining
Water backs up into your sewer line cleanout
You notice foul odors in your home
The best way to confirm that your main sewer line is clogged is to hire a professional plumber to assess the situation and use a camera to inspect the inside.
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.
You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.
