"Lucas and Damion were awesome when they came to help us with our sewer needs. The project was larger than anticipated but they stayed over time and worked so hard to find a solution. We were very impressed at their dedication and customer service and fully trust in them for future services if needed."

"After receiving several professional opinions and quotes on a sluggish toilet that required multiple flushes, every "pro" concluded I needed to have my main sewer drain underneath my slab floor completely removed and reconstructed. We finally called KC Sewer Repair, and after doing a very thorough video diagnostic, the owner decided the issue could be solved another way. He installed an "air assisted" toilet. Now we can take care of business with one flush! They literally saved us thousands of dollars by being smart, honest, and caring, treating us with respect. I could not more highly recommend a plumbing company."

"Serious lack of communication on project status of a very big project. They did not notify me of delays until I called and asked. Left a horrible mess in my yard - tree roots, pieces of the old sewer pipe, and large clumps of dirt everywhere. Did not tell me there would be a 4 foot high, 60 foot long pile of dirt in my yard when the finished. Workers were heard swearing loudly at times. The vertical clean-out pipe they installed was leaning at a very steep angle because of the way they filled dirt up against it, so I dug it out myself and straightened it up. They told me they would put 3 large flowering plants back in the ground, but they did not, and one is completely gone. Tried to get me to pay the extra $300 cash discount at the end of the job, until I questioned it."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Knowing the signs can alert you to a clogged drain line. Clogs cause slow drainage or cause no drainage (if there’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.

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.

The type of clog in your sewer main determines the required cleaning method. Different types or methods of sewer main cleaning require various tools like chemicals, mechanical removal, or a combination of both. Some of the most common types of sewer main line cleaning include:

  • Minor debris removal: $100–$600

  • Tree root removal: $100–$1,000

  • Trenchless pipe repair: $60–$250 per linear foot

  • General line repairs: $1,000–$4,000

  • Full pipe replacement: $3,000–$25,000

You could be smelling sewer gas in your kitchen because of a dry P-trap, clogged vent pipe, or leaking plumbing seals. If you smell a rotten egg odor, check your sink’s P-trap and plumbing connections first. A clogged or damaged vent pipe can trap sewer gas and push it back into your kitchen through the plumbing pipes. Loose or deteriorated seals around drainpipes can also allow sewer gas to leak out. If you can’t find the source, call a local plumber for expert help.

Thankfully, it’s pretty rare to find a rat in your toilet. It’s more likely in larger cities with big sewer systems that can be feeding grounds for rats, but even then, you still shouldn’t fret. 

“I wouldn’t worry too much about rats coming up through the sewers,” Bradshaw says. “I’d say only one out of a thousand rodent customers we get actually have this problem. And of the 20 or some customers that have had this happen, they’ve all only had just one rat come up this way.”
