"Richard worked on my sewer main clean out with two different machines. Come to find out my sewer main was broken so I had to have the city come to make sure that it wasn’t an issue on their side which unfortunately it wasn’t. Had to hire another company to do an emergency dig which will start today in about two hours. Will use Richard again for other projects in my home once my sewer main is fixed."

"It went really well. They were the 3rd plumber I called. The first two said I had to tear apart all this wood in my house to repair it, and couldn't even find where the leak was coming from. Drain-O-Matic Plumbing & Drain Cleaning put a little mirror down by the tub and found the leak. He came out the same day and fixed it within half an hour. Another plumber was here for two hours and wasn't able to fix it."

"I would highly recommend this small business to anyone. We had an emergency backup/clog that caused our plumbing to be unusable. Found this business using Angie's List. Within minutes I was contacted and they were able to come within the hour, traveling 20+ miles. Justin was courteous and thorough. He made sure the main was unclogged and that all avenues of water travel were flowing smoothly. He also gave us some suggestions and things to look for. Great service! Great people! Prompt, thorough, courteous. Reasonable rates! Would definitely call again if we need plumbing/drain service."

"Dan was able to come out on a Sunday very last minute to work on a clogged sink for my mom. He was beyond professional during our communication. Not only did he do a fantastic job, he kept me in the loop the whole way through. He was very thorough and clean (my mom is clean/neat freak). I would absolutely recommend him to others and will use him again."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

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.  

The cost to clean a sewer line is about $370, ranging from about $190 to $550 on average. The specific cleaning method and the problem's severity will impact the project's overall cost. Some of the most common sewer line cleaning methods include:

  • Snaking or rodding: $100–$250

  • Hydrojetting: $350–$600

  • Chemical treatments: $600–$1,000

  • Repair or replacement: $1,000–$7,500

Ejector pumps can only push sewage 750 feet or less. That’s because their purpose is to move waste from your home to your sewer line—which is a relatively short distance. Grinder pumps can transport sewage further, but they manage lower volumes of waste than ejector pumps (and they don’t work with septic systems).

A two-way cleanout can help if there’s already a clog, but the best strategy to prevent one is by not rinsing grease, oil, or fat down your drains, not flushing or rinsing coffee grounds or egg shells down your drains, flushing only human waste and toilet paper (so no diapers, period products, bathroom wipes, or paper towels), and using drain guards on all of your drains.

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.
