"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 extremely pleased with the job. Ralph had met with me earlier to go over the plumbing problems I had, and provided me with a quote and scope of work to be done. Right on time, Ralph , with the assistance of Peter, fixed the pipe, and attached new shower head. It was necessary to cut out some tile and wall, as the pipe broke off behind a tiled wall . The work was well done, and setup neatly for tile replacement, which was very minimal. They explained what they were going to do, worked efficiently and totally cleaned up . Plus they recommended a tile person, who came out later the same day. I also needed to have a sewer line for washing machine unclogged. Ralph brought his man Joe to do the job. Quite honestly, this was the most thorough job I had experienced, having had this done several times before. Ralph will be coming out next week to replace the house inside septic line, which is old cast iron and cracked. I am confident that the work will be done with the same efficiency and professionalism."

"Mark came and saved the day today. My bathroom sink and tub were not draining - when I ran the bathroom sink, water started flowing up from the drain in the bath tub. I had no idea what to expect, but expected the worst. Earlier, I had a Big Name plumbing company come, they supposedly 'snaked' the tub drain, but within a minute was telling me the drain pipe was corroded, that it was completely blocked, and we would need to replace the pipe and it would be thousands. Thank goodness my gut told me to get another opinion - In comes Scala's Sewer & Drain Cleaning, and Mark came within a half hour. He came in, looked at the situation, and confidently said "I'll have that unclogged for you" - the stress lifted from our shoulders. A very pleasant person who took the time to explain everything and even provide some helpful tips for upkeep, he worked quickly, efficiently , and neatly - Mark had the pipes flowing again. 10/10 would highly recommend!"

"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."

"Amazing Service! My main sewer line backed up late last night, causing a huge mess and a lot of stress. Mo arrived within an hour. He was incredibly professional, quickly diagnosed the problem, and cleared the line promptly. Everything returned to normal quickly, and he cleaned up thoroughly before leaving. The speed and efficiency are appreciated.""

"We are first time home buyers and George did an excellent job showing us where plumbing and leaks may be an issue for the house that we are purchasing. We ended up finding a red flag with the sewer lines in the basement. We highly recommend first-time home buyers to do a sewer line inspection before buying as it can help save a big headache for the future!"

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

It is generally safe to stay in a house that smells like sewage for a short time, but you should get the problem fixed as soon as possible. While the level of sewer gas is usually low enough to only cause minor symptoms, prolonged inhalation can lead to headaches, nausea, or respiratory irritation. High levels of gas exposure can be more dangerous, and high concentrations of methane—a component of sewer gas—can pose an explosion risk in enclosed spaces. If you smell sewer gas in your home, ventilate the area and call a professional to locate, assess, and fix the problem, as it will not go away on its own.

Yes, hiring a drain cleaner is worth it, especially when compared to the cost of not being able to use a sink, shower, toilet, or bathtub and the potential damage that flooding can cause in your home. You might try a temporary drain cleaning liquid or snaking it yourself, but if the clog is out of reach or these methods do not work, then hiring a professional drain cleaner is the way to go.

Costs vary by severity and access requirements. Typical pricing ranges from $100 to $350, increasing with complexity or for emergency services.

Some flushable wipes companies say they are designed to disintegrate within a few hours to a few days after being flushed. These wipes allegedly use materials that are more water-soluble than traditional wipes. However, many experts have raised concerns that even so-called "flushable" wipes do not break down as easily as claimed and can contribute to clogs and blockages in sewer systems.

To prevent plumbing and sewer problems, avoid flushing wipes, even those labeled as flushable. Instead, dispose of them in the trash. This can help prevent costly plumbing issues and reduce the strain on wastewater treatment systems.

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.
