"My main sewer line was clogged and backing up into my basement, yuck! I found Gilman Plumbing on Home Advisor and the reviews were excellent. I clicked on the button for them to contact me and 20 seconds later Brian the owner called. He was here the next morning and got my sewer line snaked out and working well within an hour. The price was reasonable and the service was outstanding. What more can you ask for in a plumber? He is officially my new plumbing guy!"

Sewer Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

Inspect regularly for clogs, clean drain lines, and ensure grading directs water away from the foundation.

Roto-Rooter does not charge by the hour, so the quote you get after your in-person consultation should cover the whole project. This includes the time it takes a technician to get to your house and the time it takes to complete the job. For context, a plumber will charge anywhere from $45 to $200 per hour, but you may also pay a service fee or flat fee. 

An active cleaning agent and a drain snake is the best way to clean a main sewer line. You can purchase a regular or enzyme drain cleaner or make a DIY drain cleaner with baking soda. Use your chosen solution at least once a month or as needed to keep your sewer line clear. 

It's advisable to have your sewer line inspected every three to five years to ensure its proper functioning and detect any potential issues early on. However, the frequency of inspections can vary based on factors such as the age of your sewer system, the type of pipes used, and your property's location. If you notice any warning signs like slow drains, foul odors, or sewage backups, it's essential to schedule an inspection promptly, regardless of the regular maintenance schedule. 

It’ll take 20 to 30 minutes to unclog a sewer line using a drain snake or drain cleaner. If you hire a professional, you should expect them to be on-site for three hours or less. In addition to clearing the clog, they’ll do other routine inspections, which adds to the overall time (and cost) required.
