"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 FAQs, answered by experts

A sewage smell in your crawl space is usually from a damaged or clogged pipe leaking sewer gasses or actual sewage underneath your home, but there are some other common causes. Moisture, from poor or damaged encapsulation or a malfunctioning sump pump, can harbor mold and bacteria, causing a musty smell. Pests can also get stuck in your crawl space and die, which causes a sewage-like odor.

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.

Common drain issues include slow-running drains, whether in a sink or shower, clogged drains, a bad smell, and water backing up into a sink, shower, or bathtub. Causes range from hair, grease, roots, or toilet paper clogging the drainpipes to flooding outside the home, which prevents sewer lines from draining properly.

In most areas, drain cleaning professionals don’t technically need a license, as they aren’t altering your plumbing system in any way. However, we recommend hiring a drain cleaning professional with a plumbing license and certification. Certified plumbers are more likely to provide professional solutions to drain clogs without damaging your system. They’ll also have the diagnostic tools and experience necessary to remove the clog entirely rather than providing a temporary solution, as a handyperson might. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your plumber’s professional licenses before hiring.

One way to save money on sewer lines is to install a sewer cleanout since it makes sewer line maintenance easier. Keeping up with maintenance is key to reducing the cost of repairs, so be sure to schedule annual plumbing inspections, install drain guards to stop objects from accidentally falling down drains, and only flush human waste and toilet paper to protect your pipes.
