"Getting dependable assistance for a home from the 70s can be challenging, but these guys made a tough situation manageable. We encountered a major issue with our main sewer pipe clogging, which caused an overflow in the garage, and I can't speak highly enough about Five Stone Plumbing Services. Robert and Cody are truly professional and dedicated, and they worked diligently to resolve the problem. Their expertise and friendly attitude made a stressful situation much easier for us, and we're so grateful for their excellent service. They spent seven hours working nonstop in freezing temperatures to get everything back up and running. Even with the tough conditions and the nature of the job, they kept a great attitude and stayed positive the entire time. They even went the extra mile and flushed out our old water heater as a courtesy while they were here. It is rare to find people who truly stand by their work like this. If you need plumbing help, I highly recommend giving them a try."

"They contacted us from angie's list first so we hired them to clean out our septic tank. Long story short the tank was in bad shape and had to be replaced. We had to put the new tank in a different spot because it needed to be up to code. They quoted us a very good price and my husband specifically asked about possible overages. They said there would be none. The job turned out to be very complicated and they spent more time and used more resources than they expected. They charged us exactly what they said they would. They were outstanding!"

"I was having problems with my sink not draining and called P3 Plumb Purple Plumbing for help. When he arrived, he quickly diagnosed the issue and explained that my P-trap had been installed incorrectly and that my sink needed a Studor vent. He made the repairs right away, and since then I haven't had a single problem. He was very responsive, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The work was completed quickly, and his pricing was very competitive. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable plumber!"

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

As a preventative measure, hydro jetting should be done every one to two years. However, the best practice is to hydro jet your sewer line once per year. The ideal frequency depends on several factors, including the age and condition of your pipes, how prone they are to clogging, how often the sewer line is used, and the type of waste disposed of in the system. If you frequently experience clogs or are unsure, it's best to ask a licensed plumber for a recommendation specific to your plumbing system.

There are a few things that can happen to your sewer system if you don’t fix it. These include rainwater entering it and causing rust and corrosion, dirt and debris leading to blockages, small animals getting stuck inside and clogging your sewer line or entering your home, and shortening the sewer system’s life span. 

Without a cap, nothing prevents toxic and non-toxic gasses like methane and hydrogen sulfide from slowly escaping your sewer system and entering your home and the surrounding atmosphere, resulting in a foul sewer odor throughout your house.

It can take anywhere from half an hour to a few hours to fix a main line clog, depending on the cause and severity of it. The job should not take more than a day to complete. Keep in mind that the main line is not the same as your home’s sewer lines (which connect to the main line and run to your house). Your city is responsible for any clogs or damage to the main line itself.

The cost to unclog a drain varies based on the location and severity of the clog. For simple clogs within your home, such as in a sink, toilet, or shower, hiring a plumber typically costs between $110 and $350, with an average of around $200. Snaking a toilet or sink usually costs between $110 and $275, while a bathtub or shower clog costs about $225.

For a more serious clog in the main sewer line, the cost is higher. Clearing a main line clog generally costs between $200 and $600, with an average of about $380. However, prices can range from as low as $100 for snaking a minor clog to over $1,600, particularly if advanced methods like video inspection and hydrojetting are needed for a large or hard-to-reach blockage. Some severe main line clogs can cost upwards of $1,000 to clear depending on factors like the cause of the clog, its distance from an accessible cleanout, and whether the pipe is located beneath an occupied space (e.g., in an apartment building). You may be able to save money on minor clogs by using a drain snake or bladder yourself.

There are several homemade solutions for clearing a clogged sink that don’t involve pouring harsh chemicals down your drain. Start by pouring hot (but not boiling) water down the drain. This can help dissolve and flush away grease and gunk. A splash of dish soap down the drain can also cut through fat and make it easier to clear the drain. For a more stubborn blockage, grab a plunger and give it a few firm pumps to dislodge the clog.
