"Excellent customer service, they did exactly what they said they would do. Located the problem in our sewer main, dug it up and replaced what needed replacing so much faster than I expected! I'm definitely a happy customer!"

"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."

"My husband and I were extremely pleased with our entire experience with Terry Walter of J. Ellrott.  He quickly investigated the sewer backup problem, determined the cause and spent time patiently answering our questions to determine the most cost-effective solution.  He then scheduled and completed our job in a timely manner.   The scope of work was clearly defined and the cost was good and fair.  We were also very impressed how they paid attention to detail.  They spent time properly planning their work, planned their piping routes to avoid all conflicts and ensured proper access to other existing equipment (e.g. sump pump, etc). They kept all work areas protected and clean.  They even sequenced their work, even stayed late, to ensure sewer service so we could sleep in our house each night.

Excellent service, good price, quality work, attention to detail,   CLEAN, good layout, limited service downtime, professional and courteous: all the things you look for in a contractor, but rarely find.  I cant say enough and would hire and/or recommend them for similar work in a heartbeat.

"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."

Sewer Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

If used correctly and sparingly, root killer shouldn’t damage your pipes. Make sure to follow the instructions on the back of the bottle or the company’s website to avoid any unintended damages. However, when it comes to copper sulfate, it’s better to avoid it. This type of root killer can damage your plumbing and the surrounding environment.

If you’re not using a septic system, problems with your home’s plumbing won’t cause this—it’s a city problem. A large blockage in the municipal sewage lines may cause those lines to back up into your home. This is extremely unpleasant and can be a serious health risk due to bacteria and other contaminants. If this occurs, call a pro (or your city) immediately.

Grease buildup, tree roots, and foreign objects often cause blockages. Regular maintenance prevents major issues.

If you don’t have a sewer cleanout, clearing out clogs can be extremely difficult. You would need to try to clear the clog from sink drains, but it can be harder to reach the clog all the way in the drain line. A sewer cleanout makes it much faster and easier for pros to clear clogs from your main sewer line.

Snaking a drain can take as little as a few minutes for small, simple clogs, up to two hours or more for tough clogs located further down the drain line. For tougher clogs, a professional drain cleaner can likely get the job done much more quickly because they have the necessary tools and expertise. However, your drain cleaning pro might not be able to give you a firm time estimate until inspecting the clog and its surrounding plumbing.
