Q: Can septic leach lines be cleaned?

• <div><p>Yes&mdash;your local septic company can clean your septic leach lines with a sewer jetter, a device that pumps high-pressure water through the lines to blast out any clogs and scum buildup. Unless there&rsquo;s a clog or blockage in the lines, however, you do not need to perform this maintenance regularly. Do not attempt to clean your own leach lines, as you could easily damage them, leading to very costly repairs. </p></div>

Q: What is a biodegradable drain cleaner?

• <div><p>Biodegradable drain cleaners use naturally derived ingredients that bacteria and other microbes can break down without being harmed. As a result, these ingredients are usually gentler on your fixtures and can be less harmful to the environment. Unlike traditional cleaners, DIY biodegradable cleaners use common household ingredients to clear your drainpipes, making the process safer for you.</p></div>

Q: How do I clean my sewer line from my house to the street?

• <div><p>First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap&mdash;you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don&rsquo;t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart. </p></div>

Q: How do you unclog a toilet without a plunger?

• <div><p>There are a few ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-unclog-toilet-without-plunger.htm">unclog a toilet without a plunger</a>. Break up the clog with homemade solutions containing soap, vinegar, and baking soda, or simply let hot water spend some time in the drain. You can also use a two-liter soda bottle filled with water to push pressurized water into the pipe to dislodge the debris (see the steps above).</p></div>

Q: Is bleach good for sewer lines?

• <div><p>Bleach isn&rsquo;t likely to help unclog a sewer line. Bleach isn&rsquo;t useful in this situation because it won&rsquo;t dissolve the grime and debris in the clog. Instead, you want to use ingredients that will have a chemical reaction to clear out the buildup, like vinegar or salt and baking soda. </p></div>

"Very professional! They have done two different jobs. The first was a problem with my sewer line backing up. They found that it was full of tree roots. The plumber worked for hours cutting through the roots. It was a long, hard job and he was determined to get it cleaned out. The second job was to clean the kitchen drain. Obviously, the previous owner dumped lots of grease down the drain. It was a lot to clean out. The cost wasn't bad considering that the tree roots ended up being a day and a half project."
