"Daniel was very responsive to my immediate need for sewer line cleaning service. He is very thorough and honest in his work and knows his trade very well as was evident from the work he performed at my property. He addressed my questions and explained the options for both short term and long term solutions to the particular issue with my sewer line. There’s no competing with the price and value of service that he offers as he goes beyond simply tackling the problem and takes extreme pride in his work. I was completely satisfied with his service on all accounts."

"I was happy with the quality of the work. Very punctual and when they say that they are coming they were very prompt with us and orderly with all the deliveries. Also, roofing is of course a very dirty job, they cleaned up everything really well. Good communication with the contractor (tanner) very polite. I Would call them again."

"I can not say enough good things about Kurt and Duckey’s! I had a major problem with my sewer line. It was compounded by my having a very sick wife (cancer) and the absolute need for fast and reliable work. Kurt responded within a half hour (!) and found and fixed the problem right away. He was great to work with and incredibly professional. I give Duckey’s my absolute highlight recommendation!"

"What an outstanding service provided by Joe from Drain Logics! This young man, Joe, returned my call within minutes of me leaving my voicemail, and came out within 90 minutes to diagnose a clogged toilet issue. Diligent worker. Careful. Polite. Respectful. Neat. Figured out the multiple issues causing the issue and addressed each one carefully and thoroughly. And best of all, RESOLVED each issue, and ensured each issue was RESOLVED COMPLETELY. When done he cleaned up completely leaving the work areas immaculate and sanitized. If you have a need for service, I highly endorse Joe from Drain Logics as I have to say he has provided the BEST sewer and drain clog cleaning service I've hired on over the years. EVER. You will NOT be disappointed."

"A simple drain pipe replacement under a bathroom floor turned into a replacement of three lengths of drain pipe. In addition, when the finish up work in the basement was done, the waste lines going into that pipe were reconfigured so the washing machine and utility sink now drain directly into the pipe. Which let us take out the sump pump. Then, the plan to fit a pvc shield around the sewer pipe to the town sewer turned into a major excavation of a trench through an eight foot bed of shale because the incoming water line is 1/4 inch from the outgoing sewer line. And had a hole in it so it had to be replaced after all. The crew did a great job, they were pleasant throughout and I would recommend them to anyone."

"Not only are they knowledgable and professional, but for matters of sewer line 'issues', all the Pipe Works' techs we've had are THE BEST. Quick to the scene. Informative on the options. Understanding of the 'nature' of the problem too. It's not often you can say this about professionals in any field let alone plumbing experts dealing with sewer lines.... these guys are compassionate. THE CALL to keep matters of 'your household business' flowing!"

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

If methods like hot water or a plunger don’t work on your clogged drain, you can snake your drain to dislodge the plug. This can be a messy process, taking some physical effort and additional time over the other drain-clearing options. You can purchase a drain snake at a hardware store and choose from handheld options or those attached to a drill. Just work slowly, and be ready to call a plumber if you’re unable to reach the clog from your drain or P-trap.

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

Your sewer line can get grimy quickly. To prevent sludge buildup in your sewer line, pour a mixture of 1/3 cup of vinegar and 1/3 cup of baking soda down each drain in your home once a month. After about 30 minutes, flush the drain with hot water.

Some plumbers recommend 3/4 cup of bleach instead to clean any germs and bacteria that may build up in your sewer line. But this won’t break down any active clogs, and it cannot be combined with vinegar, as the mixture will create a toxic, hazardous gas.

This depends on the location of the blockage. If the blockage is in your home’s system, anywhere in the system, it is your responsibility as a homeowner. Blockages seldom happen because of items or buildup coming from the city, which means it originates in the home. It becomes the city’s responsibility at the exact point your home’s line distributes waste into the city’s system. The exception is if the problem in your home damages the city lines.  

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.
