"Company is professional. Pricey compared to alternatives. Said they could deal with plumbing and HVAC, but the tech that showed up, while nice, knew little about plumbing. Did clean water out of furnace lines, but have had this done before paying about a third of the money."

"Jacob responded to our request for a service call promptly and arrived on time. He quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem without charging us for any more than the $69 service call (we had a discount from Angie’s List). He was kind and professional, and I’ll definitely call him again for all of our plumbing needs!"

"Alex had to cut out numerous tree roots that invaded our bathroom pipes. He did so at a fair cost, and he cleaned up behind himself. Looks like we found our trustworthy plumber. We HIGHLY recommend using Clean Horizon!"

"Excellent customer service. Scheduled my appointment promptly and notified me when the technician was in route to the appointment. The technician was courteous and professional. He took time to cover his boots so that my floors remained clean and he answered all of my questions and explained his process for clearing the drain. The technician provided me with insights on how to keep my drains clear. Will definitely use this company if I have any other plumbing issues."

Sewer Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

It's advisable to have your sewer line inspected every three to five years to ensure its proper functioning and detect any potential issues early on. However, the frequency of inspections can vary based on factors such as the age of your sewer system, the type of pipes used, and your property's location. If you notice any warning signs like slow drains, foul odors, or sewage backups, it's essential to schedule an inspection promptly, regardless of the regular maintenance schedule. 

Snaking a toilet is similar to clearing sinks and bathtubs, but there are unique circumstances where you’d have to drain, disassemble, and remove the toilet to fix the clog. For stubborn clogs in the toilet trap, a toilet auger—designed with a shorter cable and a protective plastic encasing—can navigate the tight bends and clear the clog without risking damage to the porcelain. 

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.  

Even with a high-resolution camera, what you're looking at on the screen may not be recognizable to the untrained eye. Your plumber should be willing to walk you through the video and explain what they found. With high-res images, bright lighting, and self-leveling technology, you should get clear, steady views of the pipes that make up your plumbing system.

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.
