"We are in the midst of a basement remodel of our 1920 home, which required substantial updating to our plumbing. Greens has provided us with outstanding service and recommendations throughout the entire process. Jerry Kobza was an exceptional manager and helped keep our project on task. He went beyond the call of duty to coordinate with Green's HVAC group while always being available to answer questions. And our plumber Duane was just simply fantastic. He was timely, hard-working, and most important, incredibly knowledgeable. In the end, Duane made our project even better than what we had originally expected. If you are ever in need of a quality plumber, I'd highly recommend Duane and Greens."

"BEWARE, RECORD YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH THESE PEOPLE, they are completely dishonest. I had a sewer backup in my laundry room overnight and called Roto-Rooter to come and give me an estimate on what was wrong, no estimate, the technician got started right away. He went in with the machine and pulled back a small amount of roots from my line. He then put a scope down the line the entire length to the city main, I watched the entire time and verified the line was open, flowing and in-tact. He then decided to have another pass at it and after about 20 minutes of struggling with his equipment, he pulled back a snapped cable, sent the scope back down and came across a majorly damaged section of clay tile pipe with total blockage. I realize I live in an older home, the technician said however, the pipe was in decent condition. He quickly packed up and presented me with a $500 fee and to sign waiver of all responsibility for damage. I questioned what had just happened and he immediately got defensive and aggressive. INCREDIBLY unprofessional. The owner, Mark was no help either. I thought he may work with me on a resolution but he blindly stands by his staff, apparently condoning their intimidation tactics. I was threatened with a lien on my home and now am awaiting a bill for $500, my sewer line is still backing up and now get to to figure out a solution to the $7500 in damage. Beware, this company does not stand by it's customers, or try to come to a resolution, I was gaslit and received nothing but defense of his technician with no substantive resolution."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

It’ll take 20 to 30 minutes to unclog a sewer line using a drain snake or drain cleaner. If you hire a professional, you should expect them to be on-site for three hours or less. In addition to clearing the clog, they’ll do other routine inspections, which adds to the overall time (and cost) required.

Using less toilet paper is the easiest way to prevent future clogs. Also, avoid flushing sanitary products, thick paper towels, or hair down the toilet. If you’ve been using a brick in the tank to reduce the water used to flush the toilet, take it out immediately. Bricks will eventually fall apart and clog your toilet drain. Keeping your toilet lid closed also helps avoid future clogs.

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.

In the majority of cases, homeowners insurance will not cover a main sewer line root clog. The reason is that most insurance companies consider tree root damage to sewer lines as common wear and tear, which is also preventable. However, you may be able to buy optional add-on coverage, such as "service line coverage" or "sewer line endorsements," that would protect against root damage to your sewer line.

Outdoor plumbing issues are no less serious or urgent to fix than interior plumbing problems. These problems may require excavation and lawn repair due to the plumbing often being buried underground. The most common outside plumbing problems include:

  • Clogged landscape drainage: $200–$1,000

  • Clogged sewer lines: $60–$250 per linear foot

  • Corroded or rusted pipes: $1,500–$15,000+

  • Leaking drain lines: $200–$1,000

  • Leaking water mains: $300–$4,000+

  • Septic system failure: $600–$3,000+

  • Tree roots in pipes: $200–$1,000

  • Well pump failure: $350–$1,500
