"I was worried that the issue with my foundation drain was going to be a huge problem. Robbie and Justin came when they said they would they day after I called, and within a half hour they had cleared out my foundation drain using their water jet machine. They went in thru the basement window so there was no mess to clean up. They were very pleasant, and Robbie explained just what was happening and how they could fix it. I could not be happier with the quick, clean and efficient job they did. I would recommend them to anyone and will call them the next time I have drain issues."

"Our grass had grown to 3 feet tall. It was going to require some detailed work to cut it down. Brothers Lawn Care, Shayne Jasewicz and Dylan Dolder, tackled it with care and determination. We thought we covered everything they needed to know, but after a few minutes working, they were at the door asking where the well cap was. With the grass so high they could have easily hit it. They asked if we wanted stripes on the lawn and said they always mow so cuttings are blown away from buildings. It was a huge task. We are very pleased with their work. I only gave them 4 stars, because there is always room for improvement and it keeps one ever looking for ways to get that fifth star"

Sewer Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

When hiring a sewer line company, you need to consider more than just the quoted price. Make sure to check that the company or contractor is licensed, certified, and insured to protect you both. Check for positive reviews, and you can even request references for extra peace of mind. 

To find the best contractor, you might also want to consider how long the company has been in business doing sewer line cleaning and if they’ve won any industry awards for their work and service. Review potential contracts closely, and look for transparent pricing.

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.

Sewer gas in any location can cause eye and respiratory irritation if you’re exposed at low levels, or more severe symptoms if you’re exposed at high levels—but fortunately, the fresh air outside means it’s less likely to affect your physical health. However, sewer smells outside can still indicate significant plumbing problems that will need to be dealt with, such as a potentially damaged sewer line or roof vent pipe.

It can take anywhere from half an hour to a few hours to fix a main line clog, depending on the cause and severity of it. The job should not take more than a day to complete. Keep in mind that the main line is not the same as your home’s sewer lines (which connect to the main line and run to your house). Your city is responsible for any clogs or damage to the main line itself.

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.
