Q: Do sewer cleaning companies need to be licensed?

• <div><p>In most states, companies that perform sewer cleaning services don&rsquo;t need specific licensing, but you should always ensure you hire a licensed and certified plumber to get the work done. You can use <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">our state licensing tool</a> to check whether the potential sewer cleaning company holds a plumber&rsquo;s certification and license. Hiring a certified sewer cleaning services guarantees that the work will be done safely, there won&rsquo;t be additional damage done to your home, and the problem will be fixed.</p></div>

Q: How can you tell if a drain line is clogged?

• <div><p>Knowing the signs can alert you to a clogged drain line. Clogs cause slow drainage or cause no drainage (if there&rsquo;s a complete blockage). You may also notice foul odors, gurgling noises, water backing up in other appliances on the same line, or a poorly flushing toilet. If you experience any of these issues and think your line might be clogged, call a plumber.</p></div>

Q: What kind of drain cleaners are best?

• <div><p>The best drain cleaners are biodegradable ones or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Strong, caustic chemicals may seem appealing with promises of unclogging your drain quickly, but <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-reasons-not-use-liquid-drain-cleaners.htm">liquid drain cleaners</a> can cause damage to your pipes over time. Consider making your own drain cleaner with baking soda and vinegar.</p></div>

Q: What should I consider when hiring a sewer line company?

• <div><p>When hiring a sewer line company, you need to consider more than just the quoted price. Make sure to check that the company or contractor is licensed, certified, and insured to protect you both. Check for positive reviews, and you can even request references for extra peace of mind. </p><p>To find the best contractor, you might also want to consider how long the company has been in business doing sewer line cleaning and if they&rsquo;ve won any industry awards for their work and service. Review potential contracts closely, and look for transparent pricing.</p></div>

Q: Who is responsible for blocked sewers?

• <div><p>This depends on the location of the blockage. If the blockage is in your home&rsquo;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&rsquo;s responsibility at the exact point your home&rsquo;s line distributes waste into the city&rsquo;s system. The exception is if the problem in your home damages the city lines. </p></div>

What they did in opening my drain was high quality, however, I would only rate them a 4 on clean-up after their work. Where they reached the pipes was very clean, but the floor of the bathroom, where they touched my bannister and the sinks were left with black for me to clean up.
