"Mike & crew were beyond my expectations! Needing septic repair and trying to find a competent and reasonably priced professional is harder than it should be, until I found MKB Plumbing and Septic. They took the time to listen to me, assess the situation and give me an immediate quote. Work was performed the next day and I couldn't be happier with the results! I would recommend this company for any plumbing or septic problem. Mike, the owner, is knowledgeable, professional and a cut above any other plumbing contractor I've dealt with in the past. Call them!"

"Superior Plumbing were a tremendous help! We needed to change our plumbing from a septic tank in the rear of the house, over to city sewer to the front of the house. They were very professional and did an amazing job. They brought in a backhoe to dig the trench in the front of the house to the sewer tap at the front of the yard. Then they had to put in new pipes under the crawl space of the house and reroute them to the new entrance. So much work during a heat wave! They were fantastic with communication and everything they said they would do were completed over an above expectations! We highly recommend Superior Pluming and Drains, LLC and will always use them for any work we need. Another major point in their favor was their price. We called in 4 plumbers with varying price quotes. They weren't the lowest but they were half the price of one! We were very confident after talking with them even more so after their work! You won't be disappointed with them and their cost of very reasonable!"

"Elmer was great. Super nice guy. Came earlier than he estimated. Found clog in our main sewer line and cleared it. He even showed me with the camera that the pipes were clear afterwards. Would hire again."

Sewer Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

Schedule regular inspections, fix minor issues promptly, and ensure proper drainage.

That pungent rotten egg smell coming from your drain is likely the buildup of biofilm—hair, skin, and soap scum that turns into a black sticky mess. In this case, pouring down near-boiling water, baking soda, and white vinegar will remove the smell. Keep in mind that a rotten egg smell is occasionally a sign of larger sewage line clogs and other related issues.

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 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 liquid drain cleaners can cause damage to your pipes over time. Consider making your own drain cleaner with baking soda and vinegar.

It can take anywhere from one month to a couple of years for tree roots to grow back in sewer lines. Tree roots can cause extreme havoc on your sewer lines, potentially cracking them and causing untreated wastewater to make its way into the groundwater. Have a landscaping pro remove trees and roots before installing your system, or call a pro to do it retroactively as soon as you can.
